        Yeah. Photographer friend back in the 90s hired to promote. He wasn’t some hack hanger-on or anything. Back when photography was a hard job and the camera didn’t do everything for you. Band treated him like shit.

          Damn, that sucks to hear. I’m hoping they were having a bad day. If they have a history, that’s too bad.

    I’ll never forgive this band for the asshole who became a producer and ruined two Baroness albums by being a shit producer who doesn’t understand clipping.

    Edit: Alexfart corrected me…I hate Dave Feldman not the Flaming Lips, I thought he was part of the band.

      Holy crap who was that? I remember excitedly listening to a Baroness album when i learnt that Seb from Trans Am had joined on drums and thinking that the production was absolutely broken. Clipped to hell for sure. Baffling. I never looked into it. How could such a thing happen and I wonder if the mastering engineer had words or even just the studio / mix engineer(s) . Or the band for that matter.

      Are you talking about Dave Fridmann? He isn’t in the band but he produced a lot of flaming lips (and many other albums for other bands too) albums. Would be weird to hate spoon, ok go, mgmt, mogwai, tame impala for the same thing imo.
