I didn’t have the bandwidth to make a fancy highlight reel or release collage this year so all you get is this dumb photo of me saying thanks to all the bands, artists, labels, and other miscellaneous clients that sent so many great mastering projects my way this year.

Bari Weiss sounds like a new flavor of Leinenkugel's and I'm sure they'd be happy to make that.

Steve Rules:

Somewhere under there is my mastering desk, but here's a sampling of some of the vinyl (and one CD) that has arrived in the last 6 months (since the last time I posted a photo like this) of projects that were mastered or remastered here at Mystery Room Mastering.

These cabinet meetings where they just kiss Trump’s ass are fucking insane and so cult-like it’s hard to even listen to them whether you agree or not. How do his followers not see through the bullshit?

Is anybody else experiencing insanely slow uploads to @dropbox.com as of yesterday and this morning? It's not my network and it's happening on all 3 Macs using the sync app and web-browser so all signs point to something on Dropbox's side but I haven't seen any other reports of this yet.

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.
