nevermind
so whoever owns the Nirvana catalog at this point is releasing some sort of 20th Anniversary Reissue of Nevermind.
This got me thinking. Would it be fair to say that Nevermind heralded the sound of the 90’s? It would also be fair to say that the term “the seattle sound” would also come up in conversation when talking about Nevermind…
Here’s what Im getting at, I...

Tegan and Sara have something to say about misogynistic and homophobic entertainers.

just went to dan cho’s wake… the feelings are tough. i truly doesnt matter what kind of life you live. how kind, thoughtful, gentle. you can be taken away from a loving partner. a young child… no justification. a world that embraces you. why do we try so hard? why do we care? why do people pray?
do not talk to me about a plan, about mysterious ways. i dont want to hear it. ive...

What band is this guy talking about?
“As strictly a listening experience, though, it’s a decent document of a bunch of relatively unexceptional guys who willed themselves to greatness for a couple of years there but couldn’t stop being relatively unexceptional.”
to use words.
so the tumblr thing is great. an interface that allows you to post just about anything with total ease. i get it and i enjoy much of the content i am exposed to. but i do miss reading stories and reading ideas that the free flow stream of just typing brings out.

The main thing I like auto tune for is if there’s a vocal line that’s super emotional/beautiful, but there’s this one note that is unacceptably out of tune. It’s better to tune that one note than to go with a take that’s not as good.
I’m generally not a fan of the way that artists on pop radio…

Printing Mixes... More is Better...
So I had to head into the studio tonight for some unrelated BS… I decided to use the opportunity to print all the mixes for Karen Rockower’s “Whales Standing” record that I’ve just finished. This record has been quite a journey, and it is now going to mastering.
Here’s a little word of wisdom for you kiddies making records… It pays to give your mastering...

As previously reported, Spacemen 3’s Peter “Sonic Boom” Kember produced the album, while Jennifer Herrema of Royal Trux/RTX guests. Dave Fridmann mixed it. According to Spin, the tracks were mostly inspired by surfing, except for the instrumental “Lady Dada’s Nightmare”, which is an homage to...

ok… mini kiss just made super bowl level… a new dr pepper ad with gene and paul, and mini kiss. i’ll have to ask john and missy how long ago we first laid eyes on mini kiss. something like 10 years. some tiny joint on rivington that once hosted a tori amos listening party… that was way more the vibe than 70’s glam rock. anyway we went knowing nothing but mini kiss...

Didn’t know about the f train bs so I’m here, broadwayLaf. 12:28. Last F to Brooklyn was midnight. “king for a day” came on shuffle. Gonna wait on the D. Solid choice. Cab’s a weak mans game. At least now.
Now there’s talk of an A train coming. Unheard of! Lucky me… I can take whatever may come my way.
the D it is. The old B.

im sitting here on hold with Sonicwall. They are a company that makes routers/firewalls… I just had a super high speed internet connection installed in my studio so that I can transfer big sessions to other engineers and artists over the internet. I put the sonicwall in place to handle all my port forwarding needs (nerdy shit, but ultimately vital in the modern recording world)… this...
