Chris Brown

In The Blues Brothers in the diner when Dan Akroyd orders dry white toast, it was because he had a colonoscopy scheduled for the next day.

FWIW, I am working directly with artists now and have recommended and will contine to recommend you.

I think I know what plant you mean. It would have been a big blow to the industry if they had frigged you up. Much respect. I was mostly dealing with finished goods in my old job, but you pressed the project I was most heavily involved in.

Maybe it would have worked if they gave your place money to expand and trusted your people to run things.

I was the "vinyl guy" at a local music/movie/games/bookstore chain that got into Funkopops kind of early.

I am curious what plant you were working for.

I remember that period and thinking they were never going to pull that off. I didn't know they were talking to experienced people. That makes it seem less crazy. It seemed they were having a hard time keeping up with their own growth.

If I was going to open a recording studio, I would name it The Stu-Stu-Studio and we would be the kings of gated reverb.

Quick reminder that the CEO of the Trump Org cheated on his wife too, and not with a willing adult.

Only thing I could do is make fraudulent returns.

I'm advising a young band with tons of potential. My first assignment for them is to study Peter Gabriel's "Melt."

Through a series of events that included three refrigerator boxes, I recently found myself at a poetry slam in Utica, NY.

I came here to make a joke post, but damn, who can joke about anything right now?

On the Record: Music entrepreneur Chris Brown is targeting clients ‘with artistic and career momentum’ After three decades with Bull Moose, Chris Brown left the music and entertainment retailer to start a music consulting business called Chris Brown 33.

I explain why @dominiclavoie.bsky.social is a perfect client.

Good advice:
"Let’s talk to a graphic designer before you name your band Edgar Throckmorton’s Exploding Cocktail Factory and Electric Magazine Emporium. But if you do, please put me on the guest list."

Nice to see that you haven't changed!

I thought he already had one.

I want to see a solo singer-songwriter do a full set playing a Mellotron.

Thanks for noticing that. That playlist mostly contains singles released in the last few weeks. It's a lot of work to keep up with everyone is up to, especially those who are brand new.

Human Moods (mature, grown-up modern/hard rock)

I have mostly been listening to local artists to get a better idea who is on the move. My personal favorites so far are Dominic Lavoie (classic rock influenced indie rock,) Louisa Stancioff (like Mazzy Star,) Vices, Inc. (alt rock/punk pop w female singer,) Thomas Charles Clukey (country/folk.)

I see that 107th Street Stickball Team is on Everland. Great label! I can't find Chicha Libre, but that's something I would listen to.

The John & Yoko record? They only pressed 3K, which is a very small amount for a Lennon RSD piece. Unfortunately, it's excellent. Fortunately, it's associated with a film, so one imagines that there will be a release of the full concert. I hope so, anyway.

Anything interesting cross your ear holes recently?

It's nice to hear that was at Bull Moose. The only RSD title I bought was the John & Yoko live EP, which is fantastic. Otherwise, I bought some local CDs.

You make a good point there. I wonder if that's because of the personalities involved. It seems like Robert Wyatt pulled things in a looser, sometimes abstract, direction while Richard Sinclair was more tuneful.

Playlists / Tip Sheets As a “professional music fan,” I listen. I absorb. I pay attention to what is happening. I share songs that other people will love. Join me, won’t you? Tip Sheet: Maine Music Toda…

That's so cool! Were you able to find it locally? What do you think of it so far? Any other winners?

Last week I started compiling a playlist of prog rock "current events." Its a mix of pre-orders, new releases, and reissues. Apple Music and Spotify links are here.

Happy Record Store Day, everybody. Make sure to shop local.

Wow! Awesome.

That's great news. I wonder if they did a fade or if they found some other way to handle it.

I had hoped that was a misprint t and that it's really 2LP. I wonder if that will be a record if it's only 1. Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman, and Howe originally was 1 LP, but I think it was closer to 60 minutes.

Tomorrow I will line up for @recordstoreday.bsky.social for the first time. I'm finally going to experience what it is all about.
