I have been naively thinking Trump has to be cornered for nearly 10 years now. My hopes won’t be up until he’s dead or in jail.

I had a fun time chatting with Anthony Merchant on The Power Chord hour talking about the new ‘Let It Be’ Deluxe Edition from The Replacements out later this month and other mastering related things:

The iPod is nearly half as old as The Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald.

Don’t forget to treat your partner to a special wake up song tomorrow:

Can't wait to read @schumer.senate.gov's stern Tweet about how Republicans didn't keep their word about a health care vote in December before they go home for the holiday break until 2026.

80-song mastering montage for Soichi Terada’s Ape Escape 3 soundtrack on 4xLP looking rather colorful. Pre-Order now from Cartridge Thunder:

It's been a full year since deleting my Twitter account and I do not miss it. It was once awesome but Leon ruined it, and influencing the election in Trump's favor was the tipping point for me to get out of that garbage dump for good.

Coincidentally mastering both an EP and an album today from different artists that were both mixed by @beaunoise.bsky.social … Which is something you can do when you get such great mixes to start from so thanks to Beau for that.

Here’s a fun new podcast episode with Cat Popper & Tommy Stinson :::

Translation: no Democrat will ever be allowed, again, to gain control of the White House, House, or Senate.

“The best of everything The Replacements had to give - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️” The Replacements's 1984 LP Let It Be is reissued this week in multiple-disc deluxe editions. MOJO’s David Fricke revisits the Minneapolis hellraisers’ wayward masterpiece...

Trump has been shitting on the U.S. for the last decade, glad to see him finally admitting it.

The Brewers can still win this series if Mike Pence has the courage.

From the olden days:

The best one.

Mastered two albums and a single on World Mental Health Day AMA.

News footage from Portland shows a calm, tranquil city. But an AI video that Stephen Miller texted to Donald Trump shows the city as a burning hellhole. The truth may lie somewhere in between.

In the last 10 years, there have been a lot of "I can't believe that wasn't the end of it" moments but lately I've been thinking that I really can't believe the "grab 'em by the pussy" moment wasn't the end of it. Seems like a good time to revisit that one.

Julia Blair (of Dusk and Holy Sheboygan fame) just announced her new album “All Of My Important Things”. It comes out November 7th via Don Giovanni Records and was mastered here. You can preview one song and pre-order it here:

It’s impossibly cloudy to photograph the full moon tonight but here’s a (non-tripod) mediocre test shot of last night’s nearly full moon:

I’m mastering the singles. I’m mastering the albums. I’m mastering the combination singles/albums.

Bandcamp used to turn down the audio by 3dB on the website stream (no matter how loud the audio was mastered) and now they don't seem to do that so do with that information what you will.

BLOG UPDATE:

The only place we need military intervention right now is within The White House.

It's a tiny step, but not enough. Not even close.

I should have never smoked that shit, now I'm mastering 53 minutes of "Love Shack" variants. Honestly though, it was A LOT of fun to master these 3 newly packaged B-52s EPs featuring many rare remixes of Love Shack, Channel Z, and Deadbeat Club plus a few b-sides and live tracks.

The Green Bay Packers are beating the Green Bay Packers.

I’ve got a busy morning injecting disinfectants into my body to prepare for flu/COVID season but just putting this here so I remember to read it later:

Opinion | I'm a Republican Senator. If I don't let Donald Trump use the Department of Justice to frivolously prosecute his personal enemies, I'll be primaried by someone who will let Donald Trump use the Department of Justice to frivolously prosecute his personal enemies.

Without James Conway, I never would have been president. By attempting to prosecute him, I will make everyone forget that. by Donald Trump

Is the indictment of James Comey Biden’s Katrina?

The terrorist attack on Trump’s escalator was the worst terrorist act on American soil since 9/11.

About a year ago @lanwilbury.bsky.social and I tag-teamed the mix of this much bootlegged Replacements outtake from the "Let It Be" sessions, and it appears on the upcoming Deluxe Edition of Let It Be that was mastered here. Stream both takes on your streaming service of choice: themats.lnk.to/st12
