I hate Beck. I also cant stand Interpol. I think She wants Revenge really suck. I hate that guy who sings "youre beautiful" - I also hate that guy who covered mad world by tears for fears. And the Spiderman song guy. Ugh, grow a pair.

IMPORTANT NOTICE!! - The Yellow Door has closed it doors, for now, while I make the move to Los Angeles to make another Download record. Whether or not the studio re-opens in Vancouver is simply unknown at this point. Time will tell what happens.....perhaps a Yellow Door in California? Hmmmm....We shall see. I have left the equipment list/photos up for interested parties.
Phil Western, engineer, producer and operator of Yellow Door Studio - background in programming and writing music with Skinny Puppy and Download.

I just wanted to thank you for all the great music over the years. I read your latest blog... Some very wise and honest words. I'm excited to hear that you and Mr. Key have recorded more music together! Can't wait to have a listen!
