Burger Records does a pretty swift business in cassettes these days.. they're cheap to manufacture and fit in your pocket! I feel like the 'return of vinyl' has been oversold quite a bit.. so expensive to produce, and do folks actually listen to them all that much? It seems like a vanity thing almos...

You might find a cheap stereo electret condenser.. I have a Technics stereo mic that uses a single AA battery, has dual 1/4" output, and sounds halfway decent. And if I drop it into a waterfall, I won't shed any tears. The onboard preamps will do the job just fine. I was told by a service guy that t...

We used TWO mics on the drums, a tube condenser floating over the kick and a Heil mic inside the kick.. both bussed to one track. The kick is way too loud but nothing can be done about that now!! I'm happy to commit to 8 tracks while recording, but I do like the flexibility of mixing in the computer...

"2. write the review FOR the reviewer, they'll prefer to just paraphrase your one-sheet instead of actually LISTEN to the material...." This is unfortunately too true. Paraphrased press-releases are very common, so write a really good one sheet and they'll probably just lift the verbiage, "Imagine E...

STATION TO STATION
I think this album sounds amazing - while Bowie says it's his least 'sincere' record (aren't they all?), it's got the most emotional signing he's ever done, especially "Word on a Wing" and "Wild is the Wind." Maybe his finest vocal moments. Can anyone familiar with it speculate how they did that fla...

http://www.tache-off.co.uk/2006/tacheoff06/Lemmy%2520stort.jpg "WOT?!! WOT??!" I read some quote from Joe Strummer or somebody about there being a racial element to this fear - i.e. that nobody minds aging blues, soul, or jazz men of color, but somehow white guys need to stay in their 20's forever ...

Wow, the nyckelharpa is a lovely instrument - I have a cd by a swedish band called Vassen that use it extensively and it sounds awesome.
Scroll down to the "Keytar" keyboard sitar - I've never seen one in person but the audio sample is interesting:
