Dusty Chalk

I can't completely agree with Nate, as I've indirectly had some bad experiences with contractors, but if your friend finds a good one -- and there are good ones, look at studios -- you can still learn as much as you can and monitor what sort of job they're doing. That said, that's still what I'd do -- go with a contractor. I'd just probably micro-manage them to death...or at least to the point of hating me. I'll post some tidbits later.

Doesn't it already have a queen or two?

Yeah, they were tonight, I don't know how long Colin's going to be here for, but Jeff lives here now, as do I, and Justin hasn't moved away yet...

'Millwad' would make a great porn name.

OMG, I'm a muppet. Woka-woka! Sent frum mah phone-blet using Tapatalk.

What's left of Jeff's meal (...and no I'm not eating it) Sent frum mah phone-blet using Tapatalk.

Seriously. I've said it before and I'll say it again, geezin' sucks.

There's a story that I don't know. Happy Birthday, Colin! (party favour noise)

A Place to Bury Strangers, Worship and Exploding Head -- binging, basically. The reverb is so wet they sound like they recorded in Luray Caverns, but other than that, I dig.

Yeah, but how many sound designers besides him would know what to do with it? That said, I haven't read the article yet, so...(wanders off to read article)

I might have to, otherwise I might be zombie bait!

Happy Birthday, Steve! (party favour noise)

ZOMG, this cat just discovered where French Fries come from: I think we all know this feeling:

Pieter Nooten, Surround Us -- if you were a synesthete, and wanted to know what melancholia sounded like, it'd be this album. If you had to make up music that qualified as "Dusty Chalk approved", all ambient and sad but accessible, not completely off the rails experimental, it would be this.

Damn, I might have to go to the Baltimore date Just got out of Hilary Hahn She was superb, as always Sent frum mah phone-blet using Tapatalk.

Yeah he is. He's usually on at midnight EST, but he's been on earlier several times now. It's 'fluid'

Confident of his math skills.

Happy Birthday, Ed! (party favour noise)

Yeah, that was superb, I might just have to buy Future Loops. What was the Michael McDonald one? I actually enjoyed all the yacht rock (and era) remixes.

What was the beatboxing one before Tosca? Sent frum mah phone-blet using Tapatalk.

The Heavy, The Glorious Dead Organic, groovy, laid-back, bluesy poprock -- the song, "Be Mine" has already convinced me (due to misheard lyrics) that the name of my first album should be, "Get Off My Mind" (such a great pun) I call this universal music, because just about anyone in the universe would like this.
