The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
Some killer guitar textures on this thing, and he often uses dirty electric bass instead of more polished, programmable alternatives. The drums are pretty uninspired, but the album is from 2012, which places it fairly early in his career.

My buddy did some work on this one. Did not enjoy the dude at all. No idea if he got credit or what.

He was one of his regular engineers just as his star was riding. Honestly not sure if the stuff he worked on made the record. He was mostly tracking vocals. He was an intern at Just Blaze’s studio and met him through there I think, and he and I were working at another studio together later. He’d track his stuff after hours, which meant a discount rate.

I wrote a bit for a recording mag. Have shared a lot of opinions on RM but not a whole story per se.
In a nutshell, if I was a producer with any creative input, it was 100% with someone youve never heard of. If I was working with a big name, it was in a strictly bottom-of-the-totem pole position.
The best days were when I was making records for my friends and earning no money. The worst days were when I was working with pop songwriters on overnight sessions for good money.

I feel like with your expertise and the diversity of your tastes, you'd be one hell of a bandleader. Have you ever thought about giving it a hoon?
It’s what I focused on for a long time. I could never keep a band together for very long because I wanted to sing and I sucked at singing and had no real stage presence.
Once I got over that, and learned to be more supportive of others music, things started happening for me.
If I had a strength, it was my ability to get new bands with little experience into a pro studio, keep the energy really high, and keep the sessions rolling on a positive track.
Best way for me to do anything was relinquish all ego.
I was in one really cool band near the end, and we did a couple tours. We tracked an album but then split up before we finished. There’s some live stuff out there somewhere. It was basically Shellac meets Minutemen with a dose of Unsane.
