Hi Guys. Summer is here in Spain, it’s official, just been on our terrace putting up the sun sails… and I came in for a peak at my phone… and Wow!

Hi Guys. Summer is here in Spain, it’s official, just been on our terrace putting up the sun sails… and I came in for a peak at my phone… and Wow! Firstly, thank you, Brad, as ever for all the support and encouragement. And guys, thank you for commenting. I don’t remember exactly which post of Brad’s it was, but in the comments a few of us had a debate about categories — and I agree, it matters not, one man’s category is another man’s… well I don’t know what, can’t quite finish that analogy 🤷♂️ A good song is always a good song, end of story. "Silver Machine" and "Ace Of Spades" are exceptional. I guess in my twenty-two year old post-punk head I was just being a bit territorial, although I also loved Black Sabbath and Rainbow.
About loud… I say ABOUT LOUD, yep we can talk about that, but you may need to speak up, ‘coz my hearing (especially the high frequencies) is shot!
I don’t want to get into some standoff about the loudest gigs… I just want to say (and ask anybody else who worked in studios in the 80s and 90s to corroborate this) if you never sat in the sweet spot in front full-size reference monitors, next to a producer who just had a line and says to you ‘just nudge up the main fader a tad more during this playback” well, you don’t know what loud is…
Maybe one exception to that could be standing in front of a late 70s PA stack with your head in a tweeter or bass-bin… so maybe I need to rethink and concede that assertion... 🤔
