In the non-celebrity animation voice biz, video games are by FAR where it's at.  Even for tentpole anime titles, for example, the actors slog it out and budgets are a race to the bottom.  They have to pay their own expenses, etc.  But video games are a total boon.  Video games will fly the talent from the US to Hong…

Ultimately that's the thing that irritated me about their last record.  They included a freaking piece of the analog tape in the cd cases and slapped big stickers on the cover.  Then you listen to the thing and it sounds like every other major label loudness war casualty.  I'll be honest, I don't particularly care…

Well, that's a function of the ability of digital, not a forced requirement. They could just as easily have a technician delete any sub-par takes and force themselves to get it right, and you'd be creating the analog demand you describe.  I get what you're saying, like that awful scene in 'Some Kind of Monster' where…

does she like, cuss a lot and stuff?  I'm always looking for good stuff for road trips that isn't going to worry the wife about what the kids are going to repeat.  This is a genuine concern.

Saw this band a couple of times, opening for RATM supporting their first record, and with…Offspring, maybe?

"has become?"  We are still talking about the show with a first season episode wherein a guy dies while having sex and his body is carried around at night, seen by someone who shouldn't have seen it, secrets kept, etc, right?
