Indie – Dan Shike @ Tone and Volume Mastering

I really just put “Tots favs” in a post. I might need to be punched in the neck, but it just cracks me up. Hate me if ya wanna.

Anywho-

Do ya know Dwan Hill ? He’s maybe a genius. I think so. Dude is inventive beyond twice his years. I can’t fathom what he’ll be doing in 20. I do REALLY hope I’m still the dude mastering them then, ’cause I think the guy is an out of control monster of creativity and quirk with knowledge and mastery of many genres. His album will tour you through Motown, vaudville and James Taylor’s living room. Love the dude. You will too if you know what’s good for ya.

Here’s a link to his Facebook page. It’s got lots of interesting stuff in it.

Here’s the video for “He” – ya’d think it was done when Starsky & Hutch were on after CHiPS.

Well how much fun has this turned out to be?

The last couple days have been such an unexpected good time. An acoustic folk band called Robinson that barely even exists yet, but they’ve got three really killer tunes that sounded amazing, and they really made me feel good. How often does work make you feel good? All real, and very cleanly recorded with some pretty delicious low end. Also a happy producer to go with them. Right now I’m working on an EP for a band called 3 Car Pile up. Indie rock with some dirt smeared on it. A little fuzzy here and there. Mixed by a drummer, so you know it’s hittin’ proper style. Kinda reminds me of Silversun Pickups a little bit. Nice one Paul. Earlier today I had a Christmas tune for Dara Maclean, which sounds awesome, a rocker for Undeserving, which was full of vibe, dynamics and thump and a Christmas single for Brigitte Donoho. I don’t even have lights up yet. Whoops. Through all that I’ve been getting the system for verifying Mastered for iTunes stuff rockin’ for Monday. Of course, I need to go buy some more wires. Awesome.

Also. Football has started. Go Steelers.
