So what you're saying is you would have been lost at the headline of any article about mastering.

I'm about to send an album out for mastering. Is there like a Yelp for finding someone good or is it all word of mouth?

If your music is loud/heavy, I recommend James Plotkin.

wonder if even more of the old staff is going to start jumping ship...
― tylerw, Wednesday, 1 June 2016 17:41 (eight years ago) link
Why, is there a reason? Or do you mean since the redesign?
― Evan, Wednesday, 1 June 2016 17:54 (eight years ago) link
yeah, just since the conde nast buyout
― tylerw, Wednesday, 1 June 2016 17:55 (eight years ago) link
Are there any old staff left to jump off the proverbial ship? Seems like most are gone at this point.

― tylerw, Wednesday, 1 June 2016 18:02 (eight years ago) link
has mark richardson written much lately? feel like he just shows up to write marquee reviews every now and then
― flappy bird, Wednesday, 1 June 2016 18:03 (eight years ago) link
richardson seems in it for good, he's still editor-in-chief right?

Suspect they might be doing something along the lines of Bandcamp -- editorial/writing work tied in with projects.

You have hired several music journalists, notably former New York magazine columnist Nitsuh Abebe. What do they do at Kickstarter?I met Nitsuh 14 years ago on a message board, and he has always been one of my favorite writers. A year-and-a-half ago, I saw him on the street and I told him I was looking for a copywriter. He has done some great longform pieces here, too -- a recent one analyzes why slim wallets are such a big thing on Kickstarter. We also have Nick Sylvester and Sam Hockley-Smith. They’re highlighting things that are happening here. As far as bigger editorial ambitions, I can say they’re working on a variety of projects.

why is "a year and a half ago" hyphenated?

does kickstarter do live music stuff? suprised they don't do the branded musicfest thing or something. brandon is good at the festival thing.

I meant to share in this thread not Worst Music Writing.
Death Grips just tweeted a link to this art video http://ruinsmag.com/altered-states/the-caged-pillows/ which has snippets of old songs from Daft Punk, Death Grips, etc.
Pitchfork is F1RST with the news of nonexistent new track

Ugh, I just watched the two "explanation" videos contained within the Simpsonwave piece and I'm on irony overload. Do people actually live their lives like that? In that constant state of hyper-awareness and super smug jokiness?
