Music
On March 15, 2011, Heidecker released a music album as part of the duo Heidecker & Wood. The album, Starting From Nowhere, is inspired by 70's soft rock.
In October of the same year he also contributed a parody campaign jingle for Herman Cain's 2012 presidential bid titled "Cain Train". This was the first of nine songs which would eventually become a full album, titled Cainthology: Songs in the Key of Cain. All of the proceeds from the album's sales go to benefit the Violence Intervention Program. The number nine was chosen as the number of songs, and $9.99 the original price, in reference to Herman Cain's 9-9-9 financial plan.
He also released a song called "Titanic" which is a 15 minute long spoof of Bob Dylan's new song on his forthcoming album Tempest set to release on September 11.
In 2013, Heidecker released another Bob Dylan spoof, entitled "Running Out the Clock" and inspired by Dylan's 1983 album Infidels.

Famous quotes containing the word music:
“While the music is performed, the cameras linger savagely over the faces of the audience. What a bottomless chasm of vacuity they reveal! Those who flock round the Beatles, who scream themselves into hysteria, whose vacant faces flicker over the TV screen, are the least fortunate of their generation, the dull, the idle, the failures . . .”
—Paul Johnson (b. 1928)
“I used to be angry all the time and I’d sit there weaving my anger. Now I’m not angry. I sit there hearing the sounds outside, the sounds in the room, the sounds of the treadles and heddles—a music of my own making.”
—Bhakti Ziek (b. c. 1946)
“Always, however brutal an age may actually have been, its style transmits its music only.”
—André Malraux (1901–1976)
