| { letters } We enjoy mail—who doesn't?—and appreciate your correspondence. Please send us letters. And photos, good golly photos. We will print them. Letters to The New Yinzer should be sent electronically to letters@newyinzer.com or physically through the USPS to: The New Yinzer, 315 Gross Street, Apartment Three, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15224. --- From: HomeGrown Records Greetings, The value of our studio lies in our ability to allow you the freedom to record your masterpiece, giving you adequate control over your sound, production, and the final mixdown. HomeGrown Records is sometimes compared to Sub Pop, since we do not follow the archaic "rules" of operations that most studios insist on keeping. Instead, we cater to the artist and his/her needs; we have great approval from our clientele, with many artists coming back for additional recording. With our expertise, you will be booked at bigger venues, and/or be signed (like many of our bands) to a lucrative record company. There is no reason to have a bad experience in a recording studio, anymore. We stand behind all of our work--100%; the project is not complete, until you are satisfied with your sound. Visit us and see and hear our studio. You can test us out (plug-in and jam), before you decide on us to produce your CD--no charge. Hear how 24-bit digital hard-disk recording, combined with 24-bit effects, matched with 24-bit powered speakers equals 24 kt. gold records. We also will record you live at your gig, giving you a polished, edited, compressed, mastered CD-with your guidance and input-of your performance for only $200. Please, tell us of your musical vision, and/or ask us any questions about our studio. We hope to hear from you soon. HomeGrown Records --- From: Jason Baron Today, I mourn the upcoming dissolution of the band "H@LO Angel Repair Shop." Though I have never actually listened to this band, it saddens me that I will never again receive SPAM from them. I don't remember having ever seen them, or signing up for their email list, but I will miss the bi-weekly updates telling me when their next show in the Philadelphia area would be, regardless of the fact that I live in Boston. I've missed so many of their shows, that I feel as though they are a small part of my life. I delighted in the occasional game of "How did I get on this list?" or "Do I know one of these guys?" And now, after many months of not catching this show at "John & Peter's" in New Hope, or that one at that place in Doylestown, it's all over. I've considered going to MP3.com and listening to the one tune they have posted, but then I think to myself "Best to cherish the mystery." Goodbye H@LO. Jason Baron --- From: Christopher R. Farrell Dear Yinz: My favorite piece in the issue, however, was Stephen Yeager's insightful commentary on quotational humor. I liked it so much, in fact, that I've become inspired to include some of my own favorite quotes—culled from right here in my office: - "It is currently 4:30 p.m. in Gambia." In case you couldn't tell, my office isn't very entertaining. That's why I read the New Yinzer. Keep up the good work! | |
