You Changed My Mind by Jerkatorium I thought that love at first sight was stupid Never been romantically inclined I never met nobody named Cupid but something gave me pause and made me hit rewind You changed my mind you feel just like I do, the stars must be aligned they say love is blind, i though...

Hey Chumpy, I have only the vaguest memory of writing that review and not which song it was for; but I'm sure that you deserved it that one time :) It wasn't our most cringe-worthy work, but perhaps among our most. Still, I'd be remiss if I didn't remind you that as of this writing we have 14x more...

Lichen Throat and I teamed up for this one! Ryan helped out with some hot guitar leads and warm organ playing too.

I think you have no idea how much I needed to hear that at least SOMEthing I put in my reviews was useful to someone. I've been feelings bad about them all week. I gotta figure this thing out. Thanks for writing reviews Jim, I personally really enjoyed reading your insights, even when they perhaps ...

I'm very confused... why did you say "somewhat?" Yeah, it's painful. I recently discovered there are multiple (depending on how much you want to spend) products from a company called Synchro Arts that automate my tedious manual process of aligning and tuning duplicate vocal tracks to a gu...

There is some good advice in this thread! Like Ken, I prefer to stereo pan separate takes of the same performance. To my ears it's always worth the extra effort and sounds better than the Haas effect. My somewhat labor intensive process for vocals is as follows: I record 10 takes of me singing a par...

In the early 90s I shared a house with a guy from Boston, and he made it a point to school us on his favorite music from Boston. He turned us on to both his "Treat Her Right" and "Mission of Burma" records, which was great. After that I picked up Morhpine's "Good" and h...

Chef John’s Creamy Cashew Chicken

ZOMG fluffy, that pasta looks fantastic! I was pretty excited initially about Cosmic Crisps, but sadly they're a bit too tart for my taste.

Oh yeah I did a Chef John recipe recently, his sausage and bean stew. The recipe so nice I've made it twice! After I saw this, I went and looked at the recipe, and thought "omg, that looks good, and I think I've got all the ingredients." I had navy beans instead of cannellini beans, but i...

UA Arrow - is it time to get back into the UA ecosystem? This would be the least expensive way back in. Thunderbolt 3 - Two in, two out, plus processing power to use awesome plug ins. Also, I hear their new DAW LUNA is cool. UA Twin - spend a bit more for more features? I wrote a bunch of stuff rec...

Initially, I was not sold on Universal Audio interfaces. I was angry about being potentially locked into their plugin ecosystem, and was highly dubious that their custom silicon DSP had any advantages over cheap general purpose commodity CPUs. I still feel this way, but UAD interfaces do have some s...

The algorithm handed me this excellent video on creativity from Adam Neely (who is a jazz bassist and has an excellent channel in general) this morning.

Thanks for posting Crumpart, I really enjoyed that. "The absence of limitations is the enemy of art." is a great quote.

We were ordering a pizza cutter recently and because of you and the Surrealists song, Chumpy, I put my foot down and insisted on buying the one shaped like a Motor Scooter. Toshiro was not convinced it would work well and, much to his delight, has been proven very, very wrong! Nice! Cute pizza cutt...

Yum! What makes it "prison-style," is it fermented in a sock? It uses quite a bit of filler in order to stretch the meat, like the did during the Great Depression, and also in institutions where you may want to cut costs. There are breadcrumbs soaked in milk (so they don't dry out the mea...

I've been on a Chef John kick recently. Here is his Prison-Style Meatloaf. Here is his Hungarian style Beef Goulash.
