Got this in the mail today. Holy crap. This is by far the nicest packaging of all my records and I’ve got some nice ones. This whole album just sounds right on vinyl.

I never ever thought I’d be able to say that I did the music for the #1 movie in the country! Totally surreal to a small-town, Greensburg PA boy. Gigantic congratulations and thanks to the entire cast and crew. Totally crazy.
