Quotetimbernardis Quotejbwelda I don't know if anyone noticed this or cares, but the annual Burning Man glamping thing out in the Nevada desert this weekend was officially cancelled. But, instead, there is a "renegade" thing going on in its place, and apparently the BLM or someone said, no festival, but there are 3000 camping places out there so have at it, and that they are doing.

There is a funny story about cassettes I read somewhere. Most (USA, federal or state I am not sure) prisons will not let just any merchandise get to prisoners. CDs are outlawed for some reason and there are all these rules about something being sealed and its exact dimensions and stuff like that. Bottom line is that in most, or at least many, prisons, cassette tapes from the manufacturer (no h

Is that the way the "second single" is going to be "released" too? Fine with me I guess, one less piece of detritus to purchase. And sure ain't gonna pay to download something like that.

actually, i think an old style New Orleans funeral procession by someone if not the Stones themselves would be totally appropriate. One needs to celebrate the movement into the next level to appreciate life. And I think Charlie would agree with that sentiment, although obviously I never asked him myself. A traditional New Orleans funeral procession is the ultimate in dignity even if at times it m

Also the BBC studio near Teddington Locks, The Beatles filmed part of Hard Days Night there on the river and I think the Stones recorded there at one time though I am not sure of that part, maybe for a BBC broadcast. When I went there the man watching the parking lot got me in for a tour and told me he had been there since the early days of the Brit Invasion. Everyone I spoke to held the guy in r

Been a bunch of Grateful Dead from their first visit to England posted on youtube lately. Rough footage for a proposed film that never came to be. Lots of footage of Sam Cutler trying to road manage them.

You do not use EQ to "have more hi-hat in the record". You are modifying a range of frequency using EQ, so you could raise the frequency the hi-hat, or part of it, resides in that range of frequencies, along with everything else in those frequencies, relative to the rest of the mix, but unless you are working from the master multi tracks you are never going to isolate the hi-hat to modi
