I didn’t know #2. (Seems I was reading the list backwards). Honestly, I never listen to anything like Public Enemy so not really a surprise.

Are they the pixies that live under your horse drawn caravan Rob?

Certainly Gary. It’s immediately before Classic by Adrian Gurvitz.

One day back on site and I’ve got gaffer tape on the soles of my shoes.

One job I worked on had a quote from, I think, Gillette which said that every time they release a new razor (extra blade etc) they take the opportunity to raise the price by 15%, just because it’s new. I really w […]

I can see you with a clown and a blackboard on the test card.

For day to day stuff, get something that only has black and colour cartridges. Our Canon 7100 has six cartridges of various hues which always seem to run low and the whole thing is a pain in the arse. Check if […]

I’ve only got a couple of albums, Swordfishtrombones being one. In The Neighbourhood was the first Waits song I heard and I still love it.

I don’t think you can change the refresh rate on the internal screen. You can on an external monitor by pressing the Options key when selecting “scaled” in the display menu. It used to be much easier than that […]

I had a quick look on line and this seems to be about the size of the email. One of the replies suggested using the zoom out function in View but it’s not a problem I’ve had.
FWIW, I use Mac Mail on my laptop and […]

Shawn Colvin covered (Looking For) The Heart of Saturday Night on the Cover Girl album.

I went to the top of the WTC in ‘81. IIRC, there was a glass floor inside part of the viewing area. The lifts were, at the time, astonishingly fast. Ungrateful 17 year old me was disappointed my American friend h […]

I’m surprised you got to IBC as a number of crew I knew got stranded overseas.
I was working in Bournemouth and between conference sessions the second plane hit and I commented that it was no accident. By the t […]

My son has a Focusrite and is very happy with it.
People are snobby about Behringer but they do manufacture to a price and items like sound desks can get a lot of heavy use, as well as being bounced on and off […]

That was Grot Shirley?

I “know someone” who says that Collins has had some very expensive divorces and doesn’t have anything like as much cash as you would think.

I have the Zwan CD, along with, I think, some stickers. It only really had one good track on it TBH. I think I bought it on the one occasion I did a job in NYC.

Actually, the down time for both “the talent” and the crew is when the problems start. No schedule, rig times, rehearsals and sound checks means no structure to life and no reason to be sober at 5pm.

They were on Today this morning. Collins sounded terrible, by which I mean very unwell.

Several ideas here

Sal is right though, it’s hard work.
