So many thoughtful analyses. I don't know how to thank you... or whether to thank you. Wing, you have much better gear than I, so don't expect any UPS deliveries anytime soon. If you get to Boston, though, I'll show you my SK-1. I suppose I should have expected a ton of responses leaning toward sexu...

It's the Letterman show, and Paul and the band are there, playing the theme for a segment Dave has just finished (but I didn't catch). You know how the "Letters" song goes for Viewer Mail? -- "Letters, we get letters, we get stacks and stacks of letters...LEETTTTTEEERRRRSS!!!" Well, this song is the...

What'd you think of Skybar? It's close to my apt. Sorry I missed you, didn't see the post until just now.

goddamn, I never thought I'd find the thread that went too far.

And to answer the poll question, none of your beezwax.

Spot on Walter! Keep the anecdotes rolling...lol I say this because the guys who are good enough to work at this full-time have gotten there because they have developed the chops. Amen to that. Anybody who has been around as long and has put as much thought and time into the recording of sound as S...

I heard something about this...did he go somewhere?

Well, I know nothing about your band -- experience, fan base, relationships with clubs, etc., but it sounds as though if you are doing a lot of merch, you likely are doing pretty well. If you've never had to have amanager before, I'd suggest a couple of things: -- A "pro" manager may not be what you...

The rant is dead on. Unfortunately, it also only scratches the surface. I've got a meat locker full of beefs with the current administration. The issues you touch on are big and gross and disgusting (re: the draft, inverse, you make total sense -- too bad it took a sucky war to get me to think about...

i happen to know the WB people who work w the lips (and REM) and i have to say they are a breath of fresh air in major label world. they're A) very young (21-ish?) and B) very smart and have great taste in music, and C) fearless ..so far this is an exception to the rule from my 9 years of being ass...

We will not recognize the music industry (as we have become accustomed to it) in 5 years.

Any unknown band who signs to a major nowadays is completely insane. This is my mantra.

He's got chops I guess, but I don't dig the music. However, I agree re: his persona. Funny and pretty down-to-earth dude. I guess success could happen to a worse fella.

He did a "Blind Song Review" feature in some mag, I think SPIN, not long ago with David Cross that was hilarious.

only if the big labels had people behind them backing up great music/artists as such like the old days in the 60s/70s- the world would be a better place. if i could ever get into an a&r type position at one of those labels i'd be be making a lot of changes and seeking out stuff like this all the ti...

Not my auction, don't know the seller. I was just cruising and saw it.

I can't be sure but I think I saw Roger Miller last night at Bukowski in Inman Square, Cambridge. Swoon. I got into MoB in Tucson, before moving here. Me and a bass playin' friend listened to them a ton. Then I moved here and one of the first things I saw was a flyer advertising Roger Miller giving ...
