I was gonna write “The fucking phone”
I have had to throw 2 people out of my studio because they were being just assholes.
Turn it up. Higher. Make it louder. Louder. Louder. More bass. Do this. You don’t know what you’re doing.
YOU KNOW WHAT, MOTHERFUCKER, GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY STUDIO.
“You don’t want my money”
“I need your money, but I...

I know when I don't like it.
I just do.
It’s the main thing that makes me good a what I do. I don’t give credit for the effort. I don’t just like it because it’s out there, looks/sounds like _____, The singer is cute…
Same with sound and rollercoasters. I just know I don’t like it!
Maybe it’s the accumulation of data in my head that makes a triangulate calculation and goes...

RSVPs don't mean shit.
You invite people to your event on Facebook, by email and all those rsvp websites.
The rsvps are 500+
You change venues last minute because of “so many people coming”
100 people show up.
And this is just recently, at least in my life. I used to say yes to parties, and go.
Why is this happening? People just go “I’m attending” and then what? What do you (an...

Would you play without your singer?
You have a good band, with followers, sold out shows, etc.
People love your singer.
He is the image of the band, does a great show, sings very well, etc.
Your singer is gone now, and doesn’t want to sing anymore.
Would you play without him and embarrass whatever is left of the band?

Prolific mediocrity.
That’s right.
Good music is so hard to come by. I mean, music that shows work, hard work, imagination, effort, balance.
Lyrics that mean something. Or at least strike a chord inside you. Take you somewhere.
But, holy Jesus on a cracker there’s a lot of horseshit that gets 1.000.000. plays, downloads, plays everywhere, Kids know the “dance” and the lyrics are 3 words...

Song and Sound.
Recently got into old bands that were ignored when growing up. Found out that Coroner is a fucking awesome band!
However, listening to the catalog I found that the latest release sounds better than the others and was unable to listen to those early records.
The music is there, but the sound is not.
Any other artist you go and think “man, I would LOVE this if it didn’t sound how...

We are at music's service, not the opposite.
Music is not there to make us famous or rich.
Not even known, recognizable, influential, important.
Trendy, hot, viral, sexy, sexable (fuckable), awesome, great, grand, amazing. The best thing ever.
Best _____alive.
Music is there for us to make it rich. To be at music’s service means to be selfless and let music do whatever it is that she wants to do with us.
It’s NOT a...

That whole fucking "favorite" shit.
What do people get from asking “what’s your favorite ______?”
I don’t think you can, as much as you love Music, name ONE or FIVE favorite musicians. What are you gonna do with all the rest that you like as well?
Your guilty pleasures?
Your influences as an artist?
That one and only album by that one artist that you like that might have changed your life?
Whenever I...

A little self promotion. A lot.
I’ve been featured on Sonic Scoop!
I love to make my clients known. It’s sort of giving back to them for confiding in me and making me the last step between them and the public, whatever the public means.
