Pete and Re-Pete were on a boat. Pete fell off. Who’s left?
In this episode of Conversely, we hopefully put to rest the entire Beats/Apple conversation, at least for the time being. We also jettison common sense and discuss the ridiculousness of piracy, another topic we hope to never talk about again. And this time, instead of our usual Here’s An Idea segment, we switch gears and talk about a couple of our deeply held unpopular opinions about the music world – and hopefully that’s the most original conversation in this episode.
Not to say this episode isn’t good, because it’s freaking awesome. There I said it.
Side note: we just got a bunch of new recording gear! So hopefully this is the last episode where you’ll have to hear the terrible sound quality of a Macbook Pro built-in microphone.
Side note #2: Mike apologizes for contradicting himself in this episode. If you don’t catch it, well then Mike is happier for that.
Side note #3: We changed our logo. Just because.
