There was a sad but interesting story on a thread called something like "How a label A&R guy ruined our record". Label guy insisted on some crazy stereoisation effect during mixing that a bunch of people warned him would cause phase alignment issues. Low and behold the record gets done and the label's mastering person tells A&R guy same thing. A&R guy asks for it to be remixed and mixing engineer tells him to fuck off.
I could have some of the details wrong but that was the gist of it. I would love to read it again if anyone has a link to the blog? If memory serves the story was hosted externally
wasn't this written by one of the guys from Sugar? not Bob Mould, but one of the other dudes.
Hello, boys.
Oh shit I missed this completely!!!! Thanks : )

10 years ago today, I recieved a PM from FMsteve saying that the band was held up in Seattle and wouldn't be able to stop by our house the night before my surgery.
Steve, Bob, Todd, the invite is still open to come by for a cuppa and sign my Deep Purple Records
Glad your still with us. I have always enjoyed your posts and look forward to more.

Hey, just in time for Halloweeen, guess which classic thread came out practically unscathed from that backup mishap?
That's right it's MTAR's haunted A-frame.
(It's interesting reading forum threads that are frozen in time. I am definitely in "yelling ineffectually at the characters onscreen mode" as I see no one following up on getting him to set up a video camera. Not passing judgment though—I know 10+ years ago we weren't yet living in convenient Ring camera panopticon hell.)

The years of PRF Secret Santa. So much ridiculous fun. Someone got a carbonized loaf of challah. Someone else was sent a Bread Cock, but the packing slip went astray, and when they received it, it had spawned life

Ahh yes! I remember receiving some awesome PRF BBQ posters from Col. Panic, and some wild shit From A. Villalobos..
I also introduced a couple of US based FM's to Bundaberg Rum.
Good times!

At some point I listed and rated the unique incidents of each time I was knocked unconscious, then rated them on a scale of one to five stars, along with nuances like "weird smell", "ringing in ears," and "time dilation."
I wish I'd saved that. It was one of the first times I wrote something and thought "I think this is funny."
