..it's disturbing to hear how good some old Motown sh*t sounded with the limited equipment they had I recently read engineer Geoff Emerick's account of the time he spent working at EMI Abbey Road with The Beatles, "Here, There, and Everywhere". There's an interesting anecdote about The Beatles wanting their albums as loud as those
Motown albums. The loudness war is nothing new, I guess.
If I had points, I'd mod you up. After microphones(placement and choice), compressors are probably the most important tool in a recording studio. Using compression is a skill that's hard to master, it requires years of experience to do it well. If you aren't compressing in a session, you'd be "mixing on the fly" to get a good mix, and that's just another way to compress.
... as most Europeans, I find the American love for big cars a bit funny. If you think that's funny, you should see the advertising for the big cars, especially our truck ads. For example this http://youtube.com/watch?v=MFMTGd2ClG4&feature=related.
I'm hoping for the day when they decide to directly make the claim that girth of your penis will increase .
If only there was a way to harness the boomers' power of nostalgia and put it to good use. Like banks of boomers chasing after 12" GI Joes, or copies of "The Big Chill" on treadmills running generators.
I didn't say it would've worked if Rubin had been able to follow through. If he suggested it (and I believe he did), the rationale behind the suggestion was almost certainly to create a controversy around the band.
I'm sure the controvesry created by the burning crosses in the Madonna "Like a Prayer" video helped more than it hurt, though, as did Marilyn Mansons use of Nazi imagery.
If your kids don't have computers in their rooms how are they going to get their porn fix? The old fashioned way of course! By stumbling upon wet 1978 copies of Chic in the woods!

It's about controversy, plain and simple. Controversy sells albums.
It works on the same planet that Marilyn Manson, N.W.A, 50 cent, and Madonna sold millions of records.
