How do the rekkids sound? Are they noticeably more or less groovy sounding?

I don't think anyone has touched on it yet, how was the Mummies set? Does anyone think they recorded it for a future release? I think that is one band that definitely deserves a live release

Both the Oblivians and Mummies were great! The Oblivians were recorded for sure. They had video cameras all around the place and the lights next to the stage were on to indicate they were recording to tape as well as cutting to vinyl.

The lights were not on for the Mummies set and I didn't see as many cameras. The set was good, but it was a lot of noise and a lot of feedback while they threw their instruments around. I mean, I know it's more than that but I'm not sure the intensity of the set would translate well to a live record. Maybe they figured the same and didn't figure a live LP would work. They were lots of fun though. They played a little more than an hour and probably half was them talking and fucking around haha.

Listening to the WS records is on my list of things to do this week.

Another "bad" to add to the list....poster rolling. Just had a chance to unroll mine and it's got several creases and some edge damage. I fully understand the circumstances, just a bit disappointed since it was a $50 item.

A little bit on the poster. First, it has "Poster by Rob Jones" printed on the bottom of it, first time I've seen that. Also "Printed by D+L Printing". Also it has "Resurget Cineribus" in the center bottom. That's Latin for "It Will Rise From The Ashes" in reference to the 1805 fire that destroyed all but 1 building in Detroit. It's also one of two mottos on the Michigan State Flag, both mottos written by Gabriel Richard. For those not familiar with old timey stuff, the Detroit buildings make up the body of a record reproducer used to play old shellac 78s with a hand crank record player.

That is cool, I'd like to see the Oblivians set released as well! Did they play Bad Man? I think thats my favorite song by them... and yeah, I think the mummies are best when you see the full spectacle! I'll keep my fingers crossed

Meaningful detail, as always.

Any damage done?
Haha, Yeah, I was up in the photo pit during the first 2/3rds of their set. I knew the microphones could take a beating, but I also knew they were asked not to knock them into anything on purpose. I assume there'd be some drops and a lot of swinging. I checked out the microphones on sunday and there's not even a scratch on any of them. They go through rigorous drop testing during the prototype stage.

But thanks for asking.

It was awesome to have my mics used throughout the whole weekend (except Danny Brown because I didn't think to bring a wireless capsule). But the mics (especially the chrome one that was usually in the center of the stage) looked awesome and sounded even better. The only time there were feedback issues is when a certain band required having the mic run through a blown guitar amp pointed right back at the mic.

Your mics sounded great from where I was!

Just started listening to my stash of TMP-pressed records, and very impressed with the sound quality so far. Very crisp, no surface noise. The inner sleeves of the Stooges albums had the cutout (over the label) slightly off-center, though, so I was concerned at first that there was an issue with the records. But no, just the sleeves.

They sure did, and then some--

Glad to hear. I cringed a few times when they took a good hit. All I could think about was how much you must be worried. Haha.

How was Danny Brown? I would have LOVED to seen him

He was a blast. When I was told he was playing, I literally didn't believe it until he walked out on stage. It was so rad.


Also....

this is awesome....
