brothers on the side…the red room
February 19, 2008
Sean over at The Red Room is not just an excellent blogger, with a passion for music and a thirst for analogue, but he is also a focused musician.
His blog is often tipped as one the best authorities on 80s disco and Italo sounds and is a treasure chest of get-down-sounds. Looking forward to hearing more of his own productions as ‘08 rumbles along, word has it there is an album in the pipeline. Get over there…
BACK TO BASICS
BLOG NAME:
CONTRIBUTORS:
Just me
DATE OF FIRST POST?
8/22/07
HOW OFTEN DO YOU POST?
Whenever I find something that gets me excited.
Problem is I have a lot more I’d like to post than I can seem to find time for.
WHAT WOULD MAKE YOU STOP THE BLOG?
Legal prosecution or death
HYPE MACHINE OR EL.BOWS?
Don’t use either
BLOGS IN THE KEY OF LIFE
WHAT IS BEHIND YOUR BLOG NAME?
It’s named after my recording studio where I stash some records too.
THE BLOG IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN?
Doing the dishes
THE BLOG IS LESS IMPORTANT THAN?
Making music
A POST YOU ARE DAMN PROUD OF?
Any of the few where the artist or producer came out of the woodwork to say hello.
WHY MP3S, AND WHY NOW?
It’s a great way to expose people to new things though mp3s obviously don’t sound as good as the analog source. At the end of the day though, for me its not about the format but the music itself.
WHAT BAND OR PRODUCER IS REALLY DOING IT FOR YOU RIGHT NOW?
Matteo Bonsanto at the moment. Nigel Godrich, Brian Eno and late 60s Eddie Kramer will always be favorites.
OTHER THAN LIKING THEIR TRACK WHAT WOULD A BAND OR LABEL HAVE TO GIVE YOU TO MAKE YOU POST ON THEM?
Payola wouldn’t hurt.
IF YOU COULD GET ANY WRITER OR MUSIC EVENT EXCLUSIVE FOR YOUR BLOG, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
