This guitar player played some stuff we did for Jon Brion and JJP, without telling them I did it. What I gather is that they told him that I over compressed the bass, to which I responded, "Well, I don't think it's 'overcompressed', but if the bass player's dynamics weren't all over the place, it wouldnt have been an issue in the first place."

Ooo...cruel...I mean the part about not telling them...y'know. Kinda like the old thing about "Ask him how his mother's dancing lessons are going" to which he replies "My mother lost both of her legs".
Sort of reinforces an opinion I've had whereby if pressed, people will find something wrong with something. Anything...in sort of a Pythonesque way...
Waiter: How are the prawns?
Diner: Quite good.
Waiter: Are you quite sure? I mean, they're not overcooked?
Diner: No, all is fine.
...pause...just as waiter is about to leave...
Diner: Ahem, uh...now that you mention it...
Waiter: Yes?
Diner: They are a trifle spicy.
Waiter: Spicy? Is that all?
Diner: Yes...just a trifle...
...and on and on a'la Python until finally the Diner is complaining that the meal is the worst thing that he's ever eaten.
By the way...I see from your avatar, the line is, indeed "Your axe" (The Punk and the Godfather)...for some reason, I always thought Daltrey was singing "Your ass belongs to a dying nation."

LOL, Ted. I like 'your ass' better.
Well, the reason that he didn't tell them it was me was because I am such a critic of their's, he didn;t want to taint the opinion.

If you had overcompressed the bass in a 500 year old church in France converted into a neo-vintage studio and spent $50k more than the budget allowed while taking six weeks longer than you had anticipated, he would have loved it.
If I had friends who regularly discussed whether or not the bass was overcompressed while listening to music in a non-work setting, I would kill myself... or shave my head and move to Bali for a year to get things in perspective.
