We are back in LA to record with Justin Meldal-Johnsen after a much needed 2 week break. This week the show shifts from the car to the kitchen and we are joined by our good pal Clea Buvall, Victor Indrizzo as well as Taylor and Jeremy from Paramore who help us clap it out!
Now that we have been spending a lot more time in the US while recording, we have been able to see what the fuss is about with Netflix. For some reason in Canada it's good, but not that good.

Last summer, with the help of ZMX music, we were able to start offering sheet music for some of our most popular songs.
