Sshhh...Sex and the City is not really my thing, but...

Me (strings) and the Orgone'rs (rhythm section) made it on to a song on the soundtrack. The Jack Splash-produced song, "All Dressed Up In Love," is beautifully executed by Miss Jennifer Hudson and so cleverly co-written by Mr. Cee-Lo Green. Check it here:

IRON MAN, Rhythm Roots Allstars, and Sunking

Hey All!,

If you're going to see Iron Man this weekend, check out our brief blip in the movie! I mixed the song with Davey Chegwidden (producer) and Rhythm Roots are the band backing Ghostface. The song is called, "Slept On Tony With Dirt," and it's featured in a music video on the screen in the private airplane towards the beginning of the movie. Don't blink, or you might miss it-haha!

Peace,
