This statement really got me. "It makes me sad to think that many of the people who made the soundtracks to our lives are on the exit ramp of theirs." If I can help with the SPOT project in any way (design) please reach out.

Lovely, thank you. I hear a lot of complaints about SPOT's production, especially on albums like "New Day Rising," and I've never understood it. Maybe it's because I was all of a year-and-a-half old when it came out so I didn't hear it in context, but I couldn't imagine it or the others he produced sounding any other way. It sounds like how 1985 must have felt in the American underground - raw, forceful and not at all pretty.

I completely agree. I challenge anyone to produce records on that equipment of that quality under those time constraints while working for free.

A friend of mine tweeted that Spot was "one of the keys to a notorious time in music revolution," and I don't think I could say it any better than that.
