The First 82
Oh my, it’s NBA time, and this is perhaps the most hyped season the Cavs have ever entered into. Doormats just 3 years ago, they are now consensus favorites to win the East, and about 40% of pundits are picking … Read the rest

I was in my new all-analog studio last night with a simple task – dump from the 4-track tape machine to something digital so I could share the tracks just recorded with the artists.
First I needed to do … Read the rest
Biff Trump
A rich blowhard that does whatever he wants by shouting what a loser everyone else is. He answers to no one, accepts no logic or premise, has no obvious intelligence or skill, just lots of money and confidence.
It’s Biff … Read the rest
Quality Hiding In Plain Site
Why the hatred of quality music and sound right now? Is it really the machines taking over?
Consumer audio suffers this weird delusion. It seems to be a digital blindness.
It started in the 80’s but was … Read the rest

Give It A Chance
Outstanding song from the late 70’s that stayed unreleased until the late 90’s.

Trapping Ignorance
I’m generally against tracking and monitoring of innocent people, and I support the 1st amendment (and the rest of the amendments, and the constitution) so I’ll probably argue with myself about this one, but….

Headphones or Speakers
One thing I think is lost during audio debate and discussion these days is whether we are discussing listening on speakers or headphones. I find them to be very different.
Music is very complex vibration. When it is made by … Read the rest
Hucka Please
Republican candidate Mike Huckabee tweeting during the Dem debate last night:
Racism exists because we have a sin problem in America, not a skin problem. #DemDebate

The Power of Rhythm
Stroke made it so that you can’t walk? Turn to music.
Not just music, but rhythm.
Rhythm helps the brain re-learn how to walk. It is proving to be much more successful than previous methods of physical therapy.
Social Media?
= listening to music with other humans.
= watching movies with other humans.
= watching television with other humans.
= discussing the news with other humans.
These are social exercises. Sorry internet, you really aren’t social. You are anti-social in … Read the rest
Preserving Our Art
The master copy. In production it’s paramount.
Who owns it? Who is securing it? Can it be lost or ruined? Can I purchase it?
