They're called ears, and you got one on either side of your head.

Damn it! You beat me to it.

I'll just ask you outright where that search is. Unless that's a stupid question, in which case I'll shut up and take my licks.

search "firefox" author "russ".

Added. Titties. Thanks, Faiz.

There’s such a subjective quality to sound. What sounds good to one person doesn’t to another. I think most of us here like things that sound, for lack of a better term, un-fucked-with, a sound which Albini and other have championed with their work.

Go elsewhere, like, I don’t know, radioland or Mtv—wherever money is really—and you’ll probably get a different take on how a rock band should sound.

A book by somebody from the former camp wouldn’t be bad. I know the old Tape-Op book, which is just a compilation of interviews from the magazine’s first few years, served me really well—probably the best “book for a recording a rock band” I ever read.
