LOL, whatever. If I get my time machine working and go back and grab a few six-eye recording engineers from the 50's and 60's, yank them into today and show them the tech we have and the shit it's producing, who do you think they would blame? The Apple iPod has killed, dead, the part of the mass-market music industry that may have cared, just at little, about how the feces being recorded sounded to the end user who was not a half-deaf iPodder.You could blame digital in general if you wanted to, but I choose not to. Some of the Pablo CD jazz releases I bought in Japan in 1982 to compete in the Friday night barracks volume wars still sound better than the average shite being produced today. It's not the format or the technology, it's the "consumer" who has been conditioned to having shit pumped into their heads by Apple iPods, and in the name of money, they get what they want.
What do you do at Apple?
