(trilema) nubbins`: it's everyone they hire to do shit for them that they used to have to do themselves

(trilema) nubbins`: mike_c, our benevolent overlords see it fit that we should be entertained with fresh music

(trilema) nubbins`: BingoBoingo i don't think many bands here would be into a 2k minimum ;(

(trilema) nubbins`: they do direct-to-metal digital masters with this crazy machine
(trilema) nubbins`: almost every vinyl pressing house in canada outsources to this one factory in czech
(trilema) nubbins`: mp, that's its own craft
(trilema) nubbins`: i'd say at this point, more stuff is being released on cassette here than cd
(trilema) nubbins`: this particular job, only 200
(trilema) nubbins`: just looking for a fresh perspective, glad to see we're all in agreement 8)
(trilema) nubbins`: this is a silkscreen printing studio, not a cd dupe centre

(trilema) nubbins`: right, yeah, sounds familiar
(trilema) nubbins`: (isn't this roughly what an air exchanger does?)
