From Gideon Freudmann's newsletter:

A couple years ago one of my tunes wound up in an episode of Weeds. Two more tunes are in the current TV series season - one song called Choose Me Waste Me Please was recorded several years ago with Holiday Clocks (a duo with Peter Cummings), and another called Cello Bop was on my Cellobotomy CD. AND, I got invited to attend the wrap party with the cast and crew of Weeds in Hollywood later this month. Now I need to buy a fancy shirt.

In celebration of his success, here's a Gideon-video from a few years back:
