Listening to Low Fi on Hi Fi
"You learn greatness from greatness.

Simply put, the best thing I've seen written on what's wrong with the music business these days.

Army Navy Gear Stolen - Time to Call in the Air Force Marines
Our friend Army Navy came through Portland on tour and played Lola's Room this last Thursday. We were fortunate enough to get to open for them. They are amazing talented and a killer band.
Just last night, in Seattle, they had their gear pilfered by miscreants bent on the destruction of the very fabric of our society. Or they were just methheads looking to score. Either way, there are some villainous thieves out there in need of being brought to justice, along with a swift kick to the head.
Below is a description of the gear that was taken. As well as a picture of what they should have in their hot little hands were it not for a pack of asshats. - Michael
Please repost this list on My Space, facebook, wherever and if you see someone trying to sell this stuff..... you know what to do.
It was stolen near seattle. jerkholes.

Quote of the day
Mike Chapman producer and songwriter.
"There's loads of hits, it's a great album, but who gives a fuck. It's easy, you see. When we go into the studio, we go in and make hit records, and it just happens. We don't think about it. If you're going to be in the music business, you gotta make hit records. If you can't make hit records, you should fuck off and go chop meat somewhere"

Stonehenge
Peter Dean of Fast Computers and I went to scout for future photo and video locations. It turned into a day of a lot of druid jokes and druid wine tasting.
