In light of the recent podcast, Murray and I have worked out our issues. A little communication goes along way.

The problem stems from my interest in things other than mere solo work. Murray is motivated by self-interest, it seems. Not all of the projects with which I'm involved warrant an artist's mannequin as a mascot.

Still, breaking into the studio, remixing "When I Was Five" without permission, and coppin' a major 'tude during the podcast seemed a bit gruff to me. Murray has a lot of nerve.

The latest podcast is available for download.

I'm glad that I've been able to keep this up. It doesn't take too long to put these things together, now that I've figured out how to run Garageband and the H4 Handy Recorder.

I had been doing a second stage of loudness maximizing up until this month. I liked what it did for the spoken word stuff, but the featured, mastered tracks ended up sounding a little too crunchy. I know the right way to think about podcasts is to think of it as a broadcast, but I want the quality to be as good as an mp3 can be. So, I'm not doing the super loud final versions anymore. This latest podcast sounds nice on my computer speakers and my stereo.
