Shonen Knife - an alternative rock/pop punk band that’s been around since the early 80s. They have a somewhat rough, garage band sound but nothing close to noise rock like Melt Bannana.

I love the names of some of their songs like:

“Tortoise Brand pot Cleaner Theme (Green Tortoise)"

“Flying Jelly Attack”

“Buttercup (im A Supergirl)”

Otis Rush, Buckwheat Zydeco and Sonic Youth.

Lady Sovereign - Public Warning

She's the biggest midget in the game! Yes, I'm enjoying it.

Listening to Deep Purple various tracks. I forgot how much I liked them it’s been so long since I’ve listened.

The 25th Anniversary re-release of Machine Head is reference / demo quality!

(stalkng mode "ON")...Deep Purple is an underrated band imo, seems everyone knows "Smoke on the Water" but they have so many other good songs too. They were known as one of the 'loudest' live bands of all time.

They were known as one of the 'loudest' live bands of all time.

I remember hearing Ian Gillain telling his sound engineers, "Turn it up so that everything is louder than everything else."

Older.... you ain't wiser!

That was Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull. It was recorded on the "Live, Bursting Out" album. I have it printed and framed on the wall of my edit suite! I always thought it was very clever, and I use it to help remind my clients that mixing doesn't work that way!

Client: "Ummm...Can we raise the music bed a little? Cool. Ummm, now can we raise the voiceover a litte? There, now I can hear it better."

Me: "So.... I really only needed to raise the monitoring level because you couldn't hear it over your cell phone conversation?"

I already have a photo of Ian Anderson loaded up from this past years' concert season:

Holy Crap. I'm wrong. I blew it. Big Time.

I Googled it, and it WAS Deep Purple...side 3 of "Made in Japan". My sign has been wrong for 15 years!!!!

I haven't heard it in a long, long time, and thought it had been edited from my CD version of the Tull album as they removed a few songs from the double LP. Not so. I DID have the Deep Purple Made in Japan double-live album, but never got it on CD.... explaining why I never hear it on any CD I might still listen to.

Wow, I was SO positive!!!

Will an apology, an admission that you ARE indeed wiser, and 20 bucks help you in not mentioning to my wife that I can be SO VERY WRONG ON SOMETHING???

Ahoy, Matey! Check yer mail.
