OSM: Used the A-T condenser handheld vocal last week. It is incredible, more stable than some of the others and sounds just as beautiful. It’s a version of the 40 series studio mics, which I have liked since they were introduced.

Gene S: Did the OSM start or finish the Pin 2/3 hot issue? What was it to you when they changed?

OSM: That is a sore subject with me and I know many others. What the hell is wrong with an industry that didn't lock down on one choice! They didn't learn, either. Look at the competing digital audio formats. Obey the black helicopters. One world. One currency. One hot pin. One music data file.

MarkA: Where do old Crown DC-300's go when they retire?

OSM: They run headphones and NS-10's in filthy little studios in the sticks, where the engineer's breath stinks like booze and his buddy offers you terrible white powders. Run! Run!

Chence W: What’s your choice of fast food after a late night gig?

OSM: There is this burger joint ... where you should not order anything EXCEPT the burgers.

Grampa Lee: And on the subject of consumables, what's your post show drink of choice?

OSM: For a chest cold, Jager. To build strength, Guinness. When I am pissed off, non-alcoholic Clausthaler, which is some good-tasting beer, people. I actually also drink it when I am really, really happy.

Joe Geek: Do you eat anything healthy?

OSM: Sure, man. I am in an area with a lot of farmers, you might say. Organic food is the best. I need to eat that in order to be a moron sometimes with pastrami or whatever. Ice cream and me go way back. Unfortunately.

Chence W: Who was the last band you toured with?

OSM: Hey, Chence? Go find someone who will jump into your traps. I thought I told the moderator to screen guys like you.

Moderator: His credentials were in order.

OSM: I guess I'm not a big celeb like Scovi. Or Scheirman. You played ball with them!
