This week, the studio has been packed. Full house. Monday was the only day without sessions, and that was on purpose. Tuesday through Saturday was full, and that's the way we like it here at Advanced Budget Studios.

The golden rule seems to have come out of this chapter.
The first thing that caught my attention in this chapter is the possible meaning of verses 4 and 5. the "mote in thy brother's eye" verses. Some people would interpret this as "live and let live", or "worry about yourself, not others". To...

So, I haven't written for awhile - mostly because I enjoy writing after a project has been completed. Well - right now Advanced Budget Studios has quite a few bands in the works, who are going after multi-track demos. My guess is - we'll be fishing them up around the same time, and let me tell you now - all of em' are going to be awesom...

The first six verses of this chapter talk about performing your "alms" without fanfare. I'm caught wondering why this is important. What's the concept behind the action?
Well, I think that's the very essense of it. - "Why are you giving?" "Why are you charitable?" Is it so you can appear to be...
