I'm not sure how the music biz will move forward without these industry titans. Begs the question: Who is Carl B. Wilson? One of Dennis' kids.

OK, come clean.....which one of you guys is responsible for the posts on the "Not Steve Hoffman" Facebook page? I just read the most recent post and nearly pissed my pants - hilarious. Jamie Tate (who, did you know, was banned from SH.tv) created the account and it went into sleep for six or seven years when he was sued by Morada Music, the company behind Audio Fidelity, for posting negative reviews over their products. Now that Audio Fidelity is kaput, either Tate isn't concerned anymore by the settlement he had to sign, or he has given the keys to the account to somebody else.

Can you really sue someone for a negative review ?

Paul should sue Rolling Stone for their negative review of Red Rose Speedway. He might have failed to make the Top 20 and lost his farmhouse.

Oh wow - he did mention getting sued on the FB page, but I thought it was satire - a joke. Wow - un-effing-real! His bad reviews may have been the reason the English Dan and John Ford Coley AF Gold CeeDee didn't sell well!

From what I remember, it was dubious that Marsha could win the trial, but, before that, the mere costs of litigation would have been high enough to convince Tate to take a deal and to stay away from the risk. It's a rather common tactic to frighten people. Remember the guy who had made an 8-bit version of "Kind of Blue" as an experiment. The photographer, who is an extremely wealthy piece of shit, sued over the pixelated version of his artwork, and reached a $32,500 settlement out of court. waxy.org/2011/06/kind_of_screwed/The heart of the matter for Morada Music was an Amazon review of some Simon and Garfunkel album that was, according to Tate, a mere re-EQ'd version of the first CD edition (the one from the eighties you can find at any second hand shop for a pitance), as both discs were perfectly in sync, which proved they were both sourced from the same digital transfer. Tate had to give Marsha access to the list of private groups he was a member of on Facebook, so he wouldn't badmouth Audio Fidelity behind their back. The toupee wearer even once featured his words of praise to promote some remaster, taken from one of these groups. Also, remember that the last straw to Pug, when he was a gort, was when Hoofy did a stealth edit of a message posted by Jamie Tate on SH.tv, by removing a few words here and there, so it would look insulting to him, and Hoofy would cry wolf over the personal attack. Which is also one of the reasons why STeVE always publicly "asks" a gort to clean a particular thread, to give the illusion he isn't himself an admin who uses (and abuses) his power.

A company whose headquarters was a mailbox hired an attorney? Imagine what type of greasy shitbag would accept that gig. Better Call Saul

Anyone register afblowout.com yet? Exactly. Where is that guy that did it when dcc bit the dust. Was it Craig Morer? Should I change my name? Mr Hot Stamper Tom Port.

Someone at Discogs has a sense of humour. If these aren't enough, the new Korea Summit medal is a great knockoff of his work, complete with Dymo lettering:
