Hey Oh!  We were falling all over ourselves with excitement last night when we saw our music on the new Apple iCloud ad that premiered during the final segment of The 84th Academy Awards.  Check it out!  Also, a huge shout out goes to our homies, Angus Wall and Kirk Baxter at Rock Paper Scissors, who pulled in their 2nd consecutive Oscar last night for Best Film Editing for their amazing work on The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.  Congrats fellas!

Regretfully Sam won’t be able to make it to the screening in San Fran but that’s because he’ll be in Prague with Derrick Green (Sepultura) recording final touches and orchestral parts for his much-anticipated new album, Maximum Hedrum.   The record is just about finished so keep an eye an ear and a nose on the Squeak E. Clean Blog for updates. Brace yourselves people, it’s going to blow your minds!!!

We’re headed up north again this week for another highly anticipated screening of the N.A.S.A. film, “The Spirit Of Apollo”. It’s going down this Thursday February  23rd, at the Artists Television Access (ATA) in San Francisco as part of the incredible 20th Anniversary Edition of the Noise Pop Festival.

N.A.S.A.: The Spirit of Apollo is an intimate, behind the scenes look at the making of N.A.S.A.’s (North America South America) landmark debut LP, The Spirit of Apollo. The film documents the fruition of the project’s central theme and focus: ignoring boundaries and bringing people together from completely different worlds in order to create unique and unexpected art.

Super homie Spank Rock just released the fresh, new, Luis Gispert directed video for “Car Song” featuring the always incredible Santigold on the hook and co-produced by none other than our own Sam Spiegel and Boys Noize. Pick up the album, Everything Is Boring And Everyone Is A Fucking Liar, right HERE and check out a look behind the scenes on set right HERE.

Our homie and Chinese superstar Edison Chen who’s recording at the studio brought through the Cantonese lyrical wizardry of MC Yan the other day and we snapped some film of him putting in work. Check it out…

Big time shout out to our homies, director Emmett Malloy and editor Matt Murphy, for their documentary on the Railroad Revival Tour.  They are very excited to announce that the film will be holding its world premiere at the upcoming South By Southwest festival in Austin, TX.  In fact, they have been selected to be the closing night film for the entire festival.  Yeah!

The one and only Bass God, Flea, came by the studio today to wreck shop and put smiles on all of our faces. Come back soon!
