As much a I admire Flood, yes, indeed...

I'd recommend being careful with the use of big names. Weaker people tend to drop them, and there are few things as annoying as name dropping.

Metal Church - Metal Church

Stone Temple Pilots - Church on Tuesday

lol Gene wouldn't think highly of me. I really don't own much in terms of memorabilia and never did. Besides that mug, I have an Alive tin plate, a few t-shirts, a set of bobble heads, a few books and a few posters rolled up in a closet somewhere. The albums and a few DVDs, of course. Every time I see serious collectors showing their stuff, I feel kind of overwhelmed. Even guitars - 4 or 5 is more than enough for me. At some point, it seems I would feel like an employee in a museum, as if my stuff owned the place and I was only a guest, carefully tip toeing around. Maybe a defence mechanism, since we were kind of poor when I was a kid, so I couldn't have afforded it, anyway. I've yet to make it to his museum here in Vegas, but I saw videos showing only parts of the collection, and even that felt overwhelming. I did collect girlfriends named Melanie at some point, but that's a different story...

And what about those ads...

A long time ago it seems, I decided to no longer follow the news, as the only thing it accomplished was to make me miserable. What I do enjoy however is to dive into old 70’s magazines that I purchase on eBay and to read articles about then-current issues. I have just finished a fascinating little piece form July 1974 about the impact of the 1973-74 oil crisis on the record industry, and how it is affecting vinyl production, which in turn makes record companies cautious of releasing double albums, and how they are dropping artists who aren’t as commercially successful as their most mainstream acts, and hesitate to sign up new acts and give them adequate promotion. Unbelievable, right? Who would have thought? It also seems that the quality of the records is affected as manufacturers try to extend their supplies with all kinds of products - which has an audible effect of the end product. Meanwhile, even though the cost of production has only increased by 8 cents per record, the retail price has increased by ONE dollar! I'm thinking of sending them a heartfelt letter! Also - it would seem that a young fellow named Billy Joel may have quite the bright future ahead of him thanks to his latest record simply titled Piano Man. I have my doubts, but we'll see. At any rate, THAT is my kind of news. And how about that sweet, musty smell, uh?

Mr. Krantzberg is a long time Logic user. I remember picking up some tips from him on the old Logic Users Group - the oldest such group. I know he made some Sonar tutorials at one points but I doubt he ever actually switched to Sonar.

Black Sabbath - Die Young

Essless. Or if the plug-in doesn't do its job that well, essless-ish.

According to South Park, playing some Slayer also works.
