mastering at work - production weighs a ton

nobody@vox.com(funkcartel) — Thu, 15 May 2008 11:24:53 +0100

demo adds are going to slow right down for a while because we are mixing and mastering all the funkcartel albums which is some pretty heavy work load to put it mildly - there are now 11 albums and we have to finalize the arrangements - we have to finish and finalize all the lead and backing vocals - we have to sort out all the detail that matters - demos are not such a big deal but when mastering is being done, it all gets really technical - frequencies - dynamics - volume levels for radio mixes - cd mixes - club mixes etc etc etc all influence the mix-down and takes a hell of a long time - so please don't think we've got lazy or given up at all - we are still doing it and we're still working hard to break as new artists - when all the albums have been finished we will start planning the UK club tour for 2009 - we shall also be working on videos and club visuals to make sure the live shows have some good entertainment value - sander kleinenberg need not worry that we will steal his thunder - but we will put in a few electrical storms to add fuel to his fire

2007/8 have all been about production and life in the studio - 2009 will be about the getdown on the dancefloor and beats in the bars

so funny - it hurts

last fm similar

the list shows similar artists at last.fm - last.fm calculate these results by comparing what people listen to on their platform - the results show that last.fm users who listen to the funkcartel recordings also listen to no-one else at all....... if you check our recent listeners from time to time you will see that they do in fact listen to other artists so the question is - why do those artist not get listed as similar - the answer is that last.fm just fix these results to suit their own desire just like the playcounts - we really dont like last.fm - you may have noticed that !!!!!!!!

we found www.streetsy.com this morning and wanted to let everyone know about it - jake has given us permission to use a few images taken from the site to tempt you into visiting streetsy.com - anyone who is into street art will love it without a doubt - there's so many images to view and this small selection should give a good idea of the quality of art available at www.streetsy.com

yet another message for last.fm - sigh - tut

nobody@vox.com(funkcartel) — Sun, 04 May 2008 12:00:09 +0100

we have sent you over 50 emails asking for evidence of the claims made by yourselves and by jukeen and ana gori - we have asked ana gori and jukeen probably as many times by email as well - all of you have failed to do so despite having had 6 months to respond to the basic request - when we telephoned last.fm and spoke to you, you suggested that we send an e-mail - when we pointed out that you just ignored 6 months of e-mails and asked what was the point of sending any more emails that you will just ignore you had no answer at all - so - we suggested that we may well come to your offices to sort things out - that is exactly what we are going to do - let's hope your staff have not been out at too many parties recently because apparently drug dogs can pick up on the scent of substances easily if anyone has used them in the preceding 2 or 3 weeks before contact and we will have one of those for company when we visit you. Perhaps you can contact ana and jukeen to get all the info required and copy the data from your servers that we need to start legal action so that you can provide them to us when we drop in to your offices next week.
