Arrangement Spotlight

Spit Loud
You’ll have to accept our sincerest apologies for never having profiled the mega-genius beatbox pioneer Andrew Chaikin, aka Kid Beyond, on the show before.
This Is Not An Instrument
Christopher loves the Bobs take on Gershwin’s classic masterpiece “Rhapsody In Blue”.
Album Review
Christopher thinks the Cornell Touchtones‘ Fire My Imagination is a pleasant album, but isn’t very fiery or imaginative.
Album Review
Dave praises the high quality of Berklee Pitch Slapped‘s eponymous debut EP, and hopes for more groundbreaking creativity and identity on their next release.
gosh, why are you mentioning us so much? seriously, this was all pitch slapped’s doing, to the point that we basically didn’t need to do anything to some of their raw tracks. gotta give credit where credit is due – Derek Jayson tracked 99% of the album himself in his apartment, and we only recorded two solos and a couple of bass licks.
and also “www.plaidproductions.com” is totally not us. i think they do lawn care. [we’re http://www.plaidacappella.com
You guys don’t do lawn care? You should consider adding that to your list of services.
Major kudos to Derek, and also to the fellas who mixed it.
