Annual Thanksgiving Alice's Restaurant Playing
It's that time of year again. Thanksgiving wouldn't be complete without the annual playing of Arlo Guthrie's Alice's Restaurant Massacre ... the entire song ... All 18+ minutes of it. If you want to join in the celebration, here's the link for the call: Nick Allegro is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting. Topic: Annual Thanksgiving at Alice's Restaurant Time: Nov 27, 2025 12:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada) Join Zoom Meeting https://us06web.zoom.us/j/81181345931

@Nick Allegro This was very cool! Thank you for organizing it! I had heard bits and pieces of this song but never the whole thing…and wasn’t aware (or MISSED) radio stations playing it. Further…you and others shared so many good insights on radio, airplay and the music industry that jogged up memories of radio! People showing up from around the world was great. For me it was remembering certain long songs that ONLY got played on Thanksgiving or Xmas…the soundtrack of holiday cooking! It isn’t done any more—too many commercials! Also…to an extent…people don’t cook any more…
Sync Licensing Question
Hey guys, I got an email saying it is from Spirit Music Group and a song of mine has been selected for a Netflix feature film. I first felt it was a scam however I submitted a brief questionaire which didn't ask any questions I felt could be used to scam me. Tonight I received a contract which looks legit however under one section titled "Administration Fee" it states "to secure and facilitate the guaranteed placement the artist agrees to pay a one-time, upfront, fully refundable administration fee". Is this a common practice? Unfortunately the Spirit Music Group website has no contact submission or I would ask them directly. Thanks in advance for any thoughts on this.

@David Moore RE: Spirit Music Group is already aware of this scam and is working to get it closed down...if it hasn't been already Oh good! This is why I’m glad I didn’t rush to judge the company per se…glad everyone involved is doing due diligence. It is SO TERRIBLE when scammers prey on peoples’ dreams and legit hard work—no doubt they either have been successful or expect success…otherwise, why try it? SHAME!

@Garry Simmons RE: I'd bet there is another Mastering Intensive looming and this webinar will be a feeder into that... Yes…this has me wondering if it’s the same or similar to the other mastering event several months ago…Eh @Rob Mayzes ?
How are you managing the connection of your USB and TB gear?
With everything now being TB or USB how are you all managing the connection for all of this equipment? I want to clean up and streamline my connections but not sure how I will go about it just yet. I have USB for 4 keyboards/sound module, for 8 hard drives, flash drives,, MPC, webcam, charging for my phone, ect. I have Thunderbolt for my UA Apollo, DAC, UA satellite, ect. Point is that I have so many connections that I have to wonder how are other people managing.

@Paul Jones One answer is: color coding, where and to the extent possible. Not everything has to be black! Just saying…

@Paul Jones The short answer is: YES The long answer is: That is among MANY ways to color code. For example, I recently watched a vid where someone mentioned she bought (audio) cables in all sorts of colors to organize AND make them more favorable on-camera. She uses a certain company—I forget which—probably a brand sponsorship deal for her. But before then, it would not have occurred to me to think to order cables in anything other than black.
Headphones and glasses? Advice needed...
Hi guys, it's a simple question but until now I found no good solution. For editing I need both, but thatt's pinching, and therefore distracting. These headphones are non negotiable (fat, heavy and over-the-ears); I'd modify at least the glasses. Any experience, good idea, advice how to deal with it ... would be helpful. Thanks in advance! 🌼

I wish I could adequately weigh in on this but any suggestion I have would probably affect how you hear too much, such as the padding athletes wear around the stems of the glasses…that material is probably too absorbent.
