Wasn't Rederick Fred Flintstones posh alter ego? I thought it was a Patti Smith song.

Who coined the terms Smiley face EQ and Midrange suck-out? Were these Night-goofisms as well? They were terms beloved of British hi-fi magazines. Possibly still are. Does the infantile descriptor "minty" also predate Hooferville?

And when he gets tough, from The Untouchables, pal. When he pulls a knife, you steal a Buddy Holly tape. He puts one of yours in the hospital, you steal a Ray Charles tape. That's the Hoofman way.

And when he gets tough, from The Untouchables, pal. I got "buddied" by former gort John Carsehole when I was suspended. It was one of the last things I posted on the old Stereo Central, when I found a text file of the messages on a memory stick. Fucked if I can find the stick right now, so I'll have to paraphrase. Steve had mouthed off about "Laughter In The Rain" by Neil Sedaka, an album I unashamedly love. Steve said it had been recorded by bouncing 3-track tapes in a crummy jingle studio. A cursory listen to it disproves the 3-track part, but I thought I'd see if I could get an answer from Robert Appere, the original engineer. I looked him up, sent him a polite email, and expected nothing back. Mr. Appere replied straight away, with chapter and verse about how the album was recorded (8-8, apart from one track which was live to stereo.) He said he remembered it fondly, because it was the start of a long and successful relationship with Sedaka, and he said the extra business garnered from the success of that album allowed them to upgrade to 16 track within a year. He was offended by Hoffman's assertion that Clover Recording was a "crummy jingle studio." He gave me permission to quote him, but declined an offer to join the forum. Next thing I knew, I was suspended. When I asked why, Carsehole suddenly imagined himself to be Joe Pesci, because he told me I was "disrespecting Steve, buddy." Some genius on the old Stereo Central found a group photograph with him in it. Little man syndrome. Fucking prick.

...he told me I was "disrespecting Steve, buddy." In other words, you were treating Their Host in the same way as anyone who is/was genuinely working in the music industry. P.S. Funny he didn't call you "Bucko".

Jack, 4/1/2008: 2 others that belong in this thread, but I can't find the original poats (quite possibly deleted): "With meds she should be just the perfect wife you desire" is a classic M*****l-ism. And who was it who called Raquel Welch "too ethnic" to be attractive?

Good find. I didn’t realise that rock n roll boys was actually a thing. Hilarious.

The “too ethnic” thing came from some douche that called himself BenCasey.

This was a in a thread where I was enlightening them about STeVE's thieving, lying assholery. They wiped all off my posts, a real rarity in that forum where pinheads like Uncle Bob can be as obnoxious as they like without being censored or censured.

I'm guessing this topic won't be very well discussed at a certain other forum.

I just looked into the M*****l/meds thing, trying to find the original quote. And while it’s a beaut on its own, it actually looks like he was referencing the OP (a guy who’s wife had been recently diagnosed as bipolar and started on medication for it). Anyway, here’s the entire thing (both the OP and M*****l’s reply are from July 29, 2008): Possible divorce - what and what not to doMy wife dropped a bombshell on me yesterday evening and has decided that after 14 years of marriage she wants out. We have 3 kids, all girls, 2, 8 and 10 years old. During the conversation last night things got heated and she went into my music room/home theater and started throwing cds, records and movies around. I asked her to calm down and she started walking across what she had thrown on the floor. At this time I went back into the main house and called the police on her. My two oldest daughters are in FL visiting their grandparents for the summer and my baby was asleep. When the police arrived they got both sides of the story and said because there were no signs of domestic abuse they couldn't do anything because we own the house together. They told her that if I found anything broken or missing after that point she would be arrested. She refused to leave so therefore the police asked if I minded staying in a different room, which I was already planning on doing. I told them I would leave but I wanted to take my daughter with me and they said that I could not do that. Today, my wife called and was upset and wanted to try to work things out. I've been through this type of behavior so many times in the past I'm numb. I never called the law before because I didn't want my kids to see their parents in that situation, so I just dealt with it. I told her that she needed to get help and I couldn't make any guarantees, but was afraid what she may do because she just never seems happy. Today she went to see a doctor and they diagnosed her as bi-polar and started her on medication. I went by the house to check on our daughter and get some things so I can continue somewhat of a life out of a suitcase. I asked her to please let me take the baby with me so she can have some time to herself and also try to adjust the medication and make sure there are no adverse reactions and she refused. I don't know what to do at this point. I feel bad for her, but I can't stay with her because I feel bad for her. Her behavior over the years has alienated her from her familiy and some of our closest friends. All I want is to be able to get my girls and raise them where they won't have to worry about hearing arguments or being fussed at for no reason. My parents have been married for 35 years and all of my friends are married and have never gone through divorce or separation. I know I sound like a kid, but I just don't know where to start or what to do. :cry: VOWS...for better or worse through sickness and health... love her...as hard as it may be now. With meds she should be just the perfect wife you desire. The whole thread is a typically obnoxious amalgamation of useless SHite “advice”, but in fairness to M*****l, I believe he was mainly just trying to tell the guy to stick things out due to his marriage vows, and that her bipolar medication would help (albeit in a totally ham-fisted way). Out of context, the meds quote is bad, but in light of the OP, it takes on a less sinister feeling.
