During this year's Halloween special, The Simpsons did a parody of AMC's Golden Globe-winnning series, Mad Men.  Turns out the music they decided to use was the RJD2 produced "A Beautiful Mine" off his and Aceyalone's Magnificent City album.  You may recall that we made these guys OkayArtists and launched a web site for the project, seen here.  We gave RJ a call to ask him how it felt to have his music in an episode of the one of the greatest television series ever.  "It's really something when music you made in your basement for your own enjoyment ends up in places you never imagined it would.  You can tell they recreated the music for the show using orchestration and all live instruments, so that made it even cooler."

Bonus: Video: Aceyalone and RJD2 "Highlights," directed by Jason Goldwatch.  After the jump.
