I noticed John Goodmanson started talking about his mortgage payments when his craft became shit.

And what the hell does having to pay for a mortgage have to do with making real art, J.J.?

I've heard the recent Brian Wilson stuff, which sounds nice, but I don't think I own any of Carter's records.

Anyone notice how much easier it was to call people cynical sellouts when you didn't have to feed kids, make mortage and insurance payments, pay alimony, etc?  

Ever notice how many more of those responsibilities you have when you're 40 or over?

Oh, and I forgot something ... Carter is a Grammy

Egad.

OK.  The only person worthy of being called out in this thread is the originator.

Got it?

Sleater-Kinney's "Call The Doctor" is a GREAT fucking record.  John fucking rocked that shit.

Nicholas, if you are still in Santa Monica, there's a really talented psychopharmacologist there, to whom I've referred several friends.  They've all thanked me.  Let me know if you're interested.  

You might want to hit some AA meetings at 26th and Broadway, while you're at it.  Manic depression and chemical dependency are a lethal combination.

I'm letting the computer do its thing, which is going to take a while.

Everybody, the time for talking is done.

Nicholas, you said a mix off would be great, so I guess we can consider this thing on?

Like I said, you pick the material so I'd assume you'd pick something you're passionate about.

J.J. tried to spook you by teasing my some of my resume.  Don't let  him rattle you.

"You only as good as your latest project."  So, I'd consider this my latest project and you and I are on equal footing.

Let's do this.

Cheers,

I wish there was a similar feature to that of Facebook's "Like" link.  But since there isn't (that I know of).

I "like" this thread.

Can't wait to hear these mixes.

What's frustrating is how obvious things seem now.  Condescension is just a guilty pleasure, impressing this illusion of an ego onto the physical world.  I'm shocked that Steve Fisk even gives a fuck about what I say, but I'm coming up in the world.  I know what I like and I have the tools to realize my vision.  It just really disappoints me when my idols become jaded by sentimentality.  I would hate to think idealism was ever afforded by innocence.

Nicholas


And ego you seem to have...

Ambition will get you far.

Respect and humility will get you the rest of the way.

Remember.... we're making music here, along with countless others. Odds of changing the world?

Perspective.

Turn brain off.

Make music you like.

Be happy.

Not a competition........
