June 2, 2015 - Here’s the original full-length version of Technobear’s theme that I presented to C.H. Greenblatt. I doubt we will ever get to hear the full hour on television so here it is, for the first time, in…

May 25, 2015 - The entire second half of Certified Babysitter is essentially one big action cue. If that wasn’t challenging enough, Carl Greenblatt asked that I make it feel like a Spaghetti Western, with Oriental musical elements, AND still…

April 13, 2015 - I have a clear vision of my teenaged self in the early 90′s riding a bus after school doodling the logos of my favorite bands on my school books & folders. The DEVO logo was simply…

April 07, 2015 - Fee & Foo’s rendition of “What’ll I Do” is so sweet and touching ! It amazes me that a modern day cartoon would have a string arrangement of a 1923 Irving Berlin song in it… Let…
