Everyone loves high-end stereos, right?
We have a pretty nice QA room in our plant. I’ve seen some sweet setups, but this is ridiculous. Il Piu’ Grande Subwoofer Del Mondo | Arkitip Intel.

Music Marketing Insight
First, as a disclaimer, we have nothing to do with the release of this record. Ian Rogers is one of those people who knows whats up. His company, Topspin Media does some pretty impressive work with direct to fan marketing and distribution. If you aren’t familiar with their work, you should be.
His latest endeavor is co-managing the Get Busy Committee. Anyway, he’s got a great series of posts over at FISTFULAYEN documenting their process of marketing the record.
A very interesting read. Especially if you like USB sticks in the shape of UZIs.

We had an amazing innaguration party this Saturday at the plant, pictures are coming in via email, I’ll be posting some good ones here and on the Facebook page. Here’s a short video clip of one pressing coming through the press. Enjoy!

Customer Highlight: Drummer
Gotta Groove just finished up pressing the 12″ LP for Drummer’s Feel Good Together. If you haven’t already picked up a copy of this fantastic new album, be sure to hit them up at www.audioeaglerecords.com to get it! Great classic-sounding feel-good rock.
