Pheonix under the microscope at United Record Pressing.
Nic and I went to United Record Pressing today to pick up lacquers and stampers of The Chocolate Horse record Patience Works! and while we were waiting, were offered a personal tour. The place is incredible. A bunch of really friendly staff took us through the entire record making process. We got to see stampers being pulled off lacquers, being aligned and prepped for pressing; vinyl being pressed and finished records coming off the machines and stuffed; and the rooms where Motown producers listened to records and slept, since back in the day they couldn’t get a hotel room. If you ever get a chance to visit, I highly recommend the tour. And of course if you’re ever getting a record pressed, they’re pretty good at it.
Check the photos. Most are by Nic. I really wish I’d been prepared and had a real camera, but alas, these are all taken on our phones.

Nobody Does It Better video
Monday, August 24th, 2009I found one place where this is still knocking around: the Jimmy Kimmel show with me sitting on Ben’s piano playing the saw. Ben Folds and Inara George (of The Bird and the Bee) perform a cover of Carly Simon’s Bond theme, “Nobody Does It Better.”
