Marie & the Atom

Pt 2 of my blog on Flying Nun multitrack tapes, analyzing two songs by the amazing MATA, recorded by Terry Moore for their second EP "Spit it out" in 1985. What does the tape tell us? Have a read & listen to samples of the original multitrack audio.

Go Birds! I don't own any Eagles kit, but I found a green shirt. Of course it is Kelly green (midnight green is ugly). #gobirds @philadelphiaeagles.bsky.social

Sun setting on 2024 (I know, a day late posting). It's been a crazy year. Would like to think 2025 will be a bit calmer, but... Happy New Year! #happynewyear

On this day, 14 years ago, I went to my first Art of Record Production Conference at Leeds Metropolitan University. Here I stepped into an amazing community of music production researchers where I gained colleagues, friends, and in truth, a new career. @lbu_lsa @smprmusic @arp_conferences

This is such a great exhibit. Don't forget to look up and read the quotes on the wall. Ties it all together.

OK, how about some lemongrass beef. Nothing fancy, but delicious. I know, I know, why am I posting food pics? Mainly because it brings me joy.

You should have seen all the ww on the train to work the day after the election in Philly. They all broke out their pussy hats but also their facial expressions of shame.
