Save the Cookie - part dva (that's two in Slovak)

My girlfriend and I just returned from Slovakia. It was one part vacation, one part work. On the vacation side of it we got to see Bratislava, Vienna and Prague. The Save the Cookie album "Phantastic" has been released all over Slovakia and we spent a couple days shooting a music video for the song "My Music." I was blown away by the quality, as it is easily comparable to any high-budget music video I have seen on this side of the pond. In the video I play a big record label executive and am signing a contract with them. As I push the contract towards them a gust of wind blows all the contract papers around the room. I freeze in time and the camera will circle around me (a la the Matrix) with the papers floating through the air. It was really fun to be a part of it. We also took some time in the studio to write a new song for their next record. The song is called Sugartown and after we finished writing it I produced Monika's vocals, like I did back in August when I was there last. We're going to keep writing music from opposite sides of the world and when they are ready to record again, Monika will either fly to America to work in my studio or I will return to Bratislava. Be sure to check out Save the Cookie at www.savethecookie.eu. Hopefully the video will be available soon on their site or on youtube.
