Anyone who dons a Thundercats shirt is alright by me.

Mark is a good friend & just a real great person. I hear he has remodeled the control room so it might be interesting to see what it looks like in the near future.

I need to get over and see the CR since some gear re-distribution.

Hey It's cool to be back on here, had some puter problems. Tony, let me know when you are coming over & we could go see Mark & have a couple of Barley Pops. My studio as it was is full of household goods as we are trying to sell our house. Did record some drum tracks right before moving half the stuff in our house out there that came out pretty cool.

A shout-out to Lippold Haken! I fell asleep in his class, *cough* I mean: studied DSP with him in college. Chad Dunn is a disgustingly good percussionist, and Tom Paynter - rocking the flute there in the stage scene - deserves to be playing for bigger audiences. Always nice to see good people getting good publicity.

I can't believe 'downward is heavenward' was 10 years ago.

I never really knew who Mark was until now. I mean, I know I love the way that record sounds, but it's nice to put a face to the sound.

This is a nice video!

I always assumed Matt Talbot did "Downward is Heavenward", which i love. Just found out that it was Rubel, who i don't know a lot about but after that video and the Hum record, maybe i should check him out.

I just spent 2 days recording at Talbot's Great Western Record Recorders studio in Tolono, IL (15 minutes south of Champaign, where Rubel is). Great space! Has anybody else been there?

Matt, and Great Western are super cool. Matt and I both bought some stuff from a post house that was scaling down. Matt was driving down so for some gas money he grabbed my then new 2" machine.

If you're in the C/U area you should get to know Mark as well. He is one of my favorite people on the planet.
