You can now buy Ryan Kirwan’s album “10th St. Breakdown” on iTunes.  I mixed and performed some additional production on the record with Ryan and Mike Batista.  It’s a great listen with some truly excellent songs.  If you like Wilco, the Replacements, etc.,  you WILL like this.  Please buy it and support an indie artist who is just trying to get The Man paid.

Thank you and goodnight.

The Live Hilary Duff concert I mixed TWO YEARS AGO has finally been released. Go figure. It’s an audio only release for now, but the full concert is there, all 20 songs. Hopefully Hollywood Records will release the full HD video that was also shot that evening. It looks great and smells good too! You can see some of the video on Hilary’s You Tube channel.

You can purchase the digital audio version at iTunes here.

What will be for the coming year? Peace on Earth! Joy to the World? Promise of Economic Stimulus?

More songs from The Annamites! That you can count on!

Let’s pray for the Arts, my friends…

This weekend at 6PM PST on the DrumChannel.com, I will be recording and mixing live, Chad Smith’s Bombastic Meatbats, with special guest Kenny Aronoff.  This interview/live performance show will be incredible and informative.  This should be great fun.  Chad (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Chickenfoot) and Kenny (John Mellencamp, Melissa Etheridge, Bob Seger, etc.) should entertain with some great stories for all!  It’s also a chance for you to check out Chad’s band The Bombastic Meatbats.  Grab your favorite beverage and open the Holiday season with Big Loud Rock Drums!  Don’t miss it you dead beat!

Let’s face it, December is traditionally a weak month and this year I am doing f-all.  I will mix your song for cheaper than you think!  No, not for free, but most likely within your budget.  Contact me for more info at: info@intonato.com

Happy Holidays!

It’s been a casual month.  I’ve been mostly writing songs and recording as one half of “The Annamites” with Adam Sedie.  We will begin to release this material soon, through our website and iTunes.

I’ve been listening to Natalia LaFourcade’s latest record, ” Hu Hu Hu.”  I’ve always liked everything she touches, as I have her previous albums, but this is fantastic.  Incredible melodies and rythmic textures which hit you like that fall sun you’ve waited for all morning to warm your cold, damp feet.  My spanish may suck, but this record does not.  I don’t know what she’s singing about half of the time, but it doesn’t matter, I believe her.  Her voice just slays me.  Listen to “Tiempo al viento.”  Wonderful.  Now I can forget about all that is not right in this world… at least for one hour.  Thank you, Natalia.  And if you want to sing on one of “The Annamites” songs, I have this great idea…

A new look to “The Annamites” website includes a Flash Player we have loaded up with some snippets, cues and full-length songs.  A regular cornicopia of aural goodness for your listening pleasure.  Check out the love here:   www.theannamites.com

Is this guy really that stupid or is he a brilliant publicity whore?  How convenient is it that he creates all of this cockless drama just before his appearance on Jay Leno’s new waste of time?  A soft interview in which Jay plays the “dead mom” card.  Please.  It all smells like dog shit.  Selfish Assbag.  Excuses?  Maybe he was all worked up over fellow Douche Joe Wilson calling Obama a “liar?”  He wanted to get back at “The Man.”  Or maybe he was distraught over Serena Williams’ recent outburst at the U.S. Open?  Maybe his latest supply of M•A•C Cosmetics didn’t get delivered in time for the VMA’s?  No matter what the excuse… Kanye West:  Douche-o-matic.

We’ve been working on new songs to be released under “The Annamites” name.  Original songs, music cues and remixes are all underway.  Stay tuned for more fresh new music cooked to order here at intonato!

My friend, Adam Sedie, has a new Blog set up which focuses strictly on the NBA.  “Protect The Paint” is an unbiased view of the National Basketball Association from folks who are not afraid of shaking things up.  If you are a fan of the NBA, you owe it to yourself to check out this Blog:
