Interviews

Makes more sense now. I, like you do wish they had an option to get the demos on vinyl though. I hope they at least make the hi res files available for purchase at bare minimum.

It is hard for me to get excited about digital sourced vinyl, but if he was correct about Bernie mastering it, it might be worth having as a consistently good mastering of all these tracks in one place. So I would assume the same mastering would be used for the CD. I just realized I don’t have Wind On The Water in my hard drive.
So when you say Micheal, that it would be crazy expensive to copy tracks to tape from various reels, what do you really mean ?
A few days, a few weeks of man hours ? Or is it more that it’s just unusual these days and perceived as an unnecessary cost and more of a hassle than it actually is, because a compilation can be assembled at almost no expense, digitally.
I think it highlights a real disconnect between the artist, Nash and his apparent fantasy of what he would like, or maybe only what he thinks you want to hear and the reality of the business, which he delegates. Whatever !

There is a new remastering of Daylight again on vinyl but I’m not considering going for it until credit can be found. Still looking for a quiet original. Why didn’t they just send the tape over to Bernie’s there is nothing hard about that !
I could imagine Trump in some not too altered reality starting an exclusive record label of anti-environmental artists pressing analog on to vinyl produced from rendered whale fat. That might help to further divide the all important audiophile base.

I am glad you stood up for those of us that share how you feel. For those that don't. Sorry, this isn't a time for moral equivalence. One "side" is governing with hate and support in that hate is complicity in that hate.

I've been a fan of your website for years, it has taught me a lot about the music I love. This response finally inspired me to create an account in order to thank you! Keep up the great work.

I gather the original post has been cast out but one can get the gist.

This is no time to roll over and stay asleep. Seriously bad things are being done in our names that are harming massive numbers of people. Art is not about escaping into some sanitised PC version of reality, and it's often about questioning it in the here and now. Michael, you're telling the truth here-- not the blue truth, not the red truth, THE goddamn truth. It needs to be said, you said it well, and I am glad you said it. Thank you.

I noticed that some of the members the Analog Planet community took some time off from having a good cry over the Hollies maudlin ‘You Are The Air That I Breathe’ and breathlessly waiting for the ‘Peter Noone Retrospective…Special Edition’ to get their infantile hate on for Trump in an oleaginous display of risible sanctimony. What a vapid simpering display of dysnomia….silly things….it’s nothing a soy latte and a nice soothing strawberry douche can’t remedy. It seems as though the proximate cause for these unhinged histrionics originated from the deranged fulminations of a broken down drug addled epigone and his fetid unctuous handmaiden using devious misdirection to obfuscate his decades long criminal association with the unspeakably vile pederast John Phillips who pimped out his own underage daughter to his friends in the ‘70s….way to go dude. ’Ne plus ultra’. Apparently this is a salutary moral pinnacle for this execrable crowd of preening fops from which to pass judgment on the demon Trump…but, ‘De gustabus’… In a way though, it’s a pretty good strategy for weak minded lugubrious poltroons recoiling in fright from the apotheosis of an alpha male. … Oh well, maybe Hillary can rise from the tomb like Maila Nurmi in ‘Plan Nine From Outer Space’ and make it all better.

Namaste, sweetie pies.

Oh, yeah…Bill Clinton is a rapist.

We have completely different definitions of the word hateful.

To keep this post largely about music, I have to say that Nash's Songs for Beginners is both a brilliant collection of songs and one of my fave LPs to show off my (or any )stereo. His voice and the guitar sound beautiful to me on this record.
