From up the thread (page 17, to be exact). My very favorite rfreeman “video”. That makes me laugh every time. I can watch it for a surprisingly long time too.

Way to go, dude on the left, soulfully leaning into the groove on your acoustic bass there. It's just like James Jamerson would've wanted

Fuck me. Nice to see Tony Levin is still working. I just realized his band name is really The Beagles, isn't it? Fuck me, Diana. It's not a joke. I mean, it's totally a joke, but I'm not in on the joke, and I'm okay with that... Reading these last 2 pages made me feel better about myself for never spending $12k on making a record no one cares about. Is that actually how much he spent?

You can get 100 CDs pressed with covers for like $150. But being the most shambolic band in the history of recorded music, he probably spent thousands in studio time doing takes.

Hey, famed Ringo maracas player Lon Chaney isn’t producing albums and getting paid in digestive biscuits.

Rfreeman seems to be the “expert” on producer Lon Chaney now. How much time do you think was wasted with Rfreeman asking, “Tell that story of you wiping up RInGo after a night of drunken shananigans again”? At one point wasn’t lawyer boy saying there was some difficulty and “artistic differences” between the two of them?

I have a feeling Lon took the job just to see Morticia’s boobies.

I'm stumped by this $12K figure. I've spent the best part of two years making an album; recording and mixing in studios that have a client list that SHiTEs would jizz their pants over, and mastering by the same studio that's been used by XTC, Tindersticks and a fuckton of Mojo favourites, plus an industry-regular vinyl manufacturer. The budget has amounted to less than half of the cost that the Blues Lawyer's racked up, and we'll recoup within a year, no question.
Could it be that Lon Von Bondie has pulled the fastest of fast ones on our favourite lawyer and magicked a wildly exaggerated production fee out of thin air that the sucker's paid? Or that he's been paying out of his own pocket for every rehearsal/ vocal lesson/ rehearsal room snack and miscellaneous expense racked up by Morticia and co? Or has he egotistically pressed up so many CDs that they'll be used as cheap landfill in some future New Jersey highway? The mind boggles.
Also: how much alimony was he paying if he can suddenly stump up that much money to burn on one shitty album?

He may have been enough of a mark to have spent that much, but he may also be rounding up to impress the dipshits' over there with how serious he is. These are the people who spend a lot of money on outlet covers to improve the sound. $12,000 sounds like serious music making to consumerist fuckwads.

Well, your group probably went through the process in a competent manner and were prepared. Freemans' bunch need music stands to limp through musty pop chestnuts. Ol' LonVon just let the clock run, baby.
