The Fray. Many songs, one annoying melody. Makes me want to rip my head off.

Ditto. Amazing job, Mr. Crane.

I have a 5 year-old daughter and was married, now divorced, so I've run the track. I was not going to have kids at all (vasectomy when my daughter was 2).

A Soundcraft Ghost can be had for well below $5K.

I love this shit. Still remember a few years back when someone kicked off the spam responses with "What's in your mic locker?". So funny.

I should start doing demos in exchange for artists buying me gear. That would be pretty cool. Save the big money for EP's and full-lengths in the studio.
