Daniel, I wouldn't make assumptions about what people do with their time, or how much of it they have. |

Enough of this worship of people 10 years+ older than me! The last ten years of popular music recordings have been absolutely horrible. What? Are you going to blame the record companies for not putting out good productions? You don't take ANY responsibility for how bad it's been in the last ten years??? It's time to change the guard, and the way I see it only the new crowd who have navigated a value system through the trenches of post-modernism are equipped to bring back substance to music recording. The 50+ generation is too alienated from this current cultural phenomenon to be able to contribute their PHENOMENAL talents to record productions, but they sure do design great gear. Nicholas |

I don't see any relation to Zappa. I certainly don't hear this band capable of a "Peaches En Regalia." |

I had nothing to do with that song that Nicolas posted. But I did make this one, on black faces ADATs, of all things, in a log cabin, of all places. Of all the recordings I've ever done, this is the one I would want to be remembered for. I took this picture, too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXkh77LaZns |

Despite the title of your thread, JJ was not seemingly pissed off......did this disappoint you? I had the impression that you, Nicholas were actually being regarded seriously in this thread and treated as such. My assumption is that you are picking up on this as well, and in order to maintain your stance within a paradigm that, to you is necessarily different to the likes of JJ and others you perceive as of the old guard, you have seen it necessary to re create the animosity that establishes for you a secure footing in your perception of post modern musical creativity. Assumptions are often false and mine may be......so may be yours. False assumptions pave the way for prejudice. Peace, angst or whatever works for you, there is not always a battle fought with the changing of the old guard to the new. |

50+? Does Nicolas even know how old I am? The shame is that Nicolas wants to have a confrontation with me, but is too chicken shit to take me off ignore. The problem is that even though he'd get his clock cleaned in any discussion, his myopia would allow him to consider himself the victor. As John Perry Barlow once penned: "You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know." |

And by the way, if you think I've been posting the way I do on this forum for 8 years and not care about what I'm talking about, WTF? This is the only thing I care about. Nicholas |

Carter, Fletcher took down Nicolas' post basically blaming the state of the industry on me, because I worked with Rod Stewart. Little does he know that most of my working with Rod Stewart consisted of watching YOU work with Rod Stewart. LOL. |

I know this is a bad thing, but I can't help but wonder if Nicholas is happier in his little fantasy world. Frankly, I don't know why he doesn't just start posting on Gearslutz "Where you're right - Even when you're wrong!". |

Don't believe the movies! They had their share of drama. Some of it reads like a Nashvillian Shakespeare play. Maybe over in WW I'll start a thread about it, or if one of you guys does, I'll tell some stories. Some interesting technical difficulties I had to overcome, with the black faced ADATs being the least of my problems. |
Fletcher wrote on Wed, 11 August 2010 19:29 |
I guess I'm fucked up, I thought it was interesting on a musical level... then again I like early "Mothers" stuff as well as Captain Beefheart. I thought the percussion stuff didn't fill as much space as I would have thought it could, but what after seemed like an edit to another session the room sound changed and I liked the recording a hell of a lot better during the latter phases... |
J.J. Blair wrote on Fri, 13 August 2010 14:48 |
It's technically not the best recording I've ever made, or technically the best mix, but it's the most emotional, and I'll always be proud that I captured THAT in the moment. |

So Dale... was he telling you jokes or poking ironic holes in statements you've made... or were you trying to type "writ" and failed miserably? Enquiring minds want to know [OK, this is degenerating to the point of no return... we either need to return this to the province of production concepts or I have to lock the thing or send it to the saloon]. Peace. |

Hi Bubba. It was not me, making that song post. breathe(r) is also named nicolas. Although I suspect that is the only thing we might have in common. Thoroughly confused, Nick Sevilla |

I would probably go as far to say that the last 25 years of popular music were questionable, but really we're talking about POP music and we're talking about the music, not the engineering right? Maybe I'm missing something... Last I checked big Nick, is that you're an up and coming engineer. Engineering (AFAIC) is about the CRAFT and the SCIENCE first. Your beef with most folks around here seems to be more about taste which to me is kinda missing the point... I let that kinda stuff get to me in my twenties (as a musician) and it prevented me from learning a shit-ton about music and life. I'm not going to talk shit about your record (i'm into shit far more out-there than that), but it sounds to me like you need to spend some time learning about the music making process (not just the engineering) in order for your production to grow. Once you have a firm grasp on the whole deal, maybe people will appreciate your angle (which I think isn't all that bad IMO). I'm all for opinions, and I think yours are totally fine, just make sure you can back it up! |

Bloody hell ... Look, I came in here for a good argument! So far, there's been a track from Nicholas that nobody really likes or dislikes, a half-arsed row about Rod Stewart which we can't even read, some tears and nice anecdotes about Johnny Cash and now everybody's friends again! Apparently, Nicholas has mellowed out because he's learned something and JJ's mellowed because he's over 40 and loves his missis. This is bullshit! |

You are not the first to bring this up!!! My exclamation points are kind of like Pat Metheney- at first it seems annoying and weird, but after a while you actually begin to like it, then eventually you begin to LOVE it!!! |

You're only 1/2 right. I've had 25 - 30 years to find Pat Metheney's music not "annoying"... hasn't happened quite yet. |

Still Life (talking) changed my life. Right around the time I stopped trying to be cool. After that big change in my life, it was only a matter of time before I starting digging The Royal Scam, then The Pixies, The Dead and Mingus...never looked back. btw -it's "Metheny". Next time - you can use that extra "e" to avoid misspelling "Zeppelin". I kid, I kid... -t |
