Members UstadKhanAli Posted August 17, 2011 Members Share Posted August 17, 2011 Manley Labs, makers of super nice high end pro audio gear, was having a contest. It seems that recording star Yanni uses their microphones extensively, and if we wrote about what Yanni meant to us personally, we'd win something! Here's what I wrote: "Yanni came up as the sun in my bitter night. My heart rose up, dancing, twirling me around, filling me with light. I'll hold forever dear the moonlight dancing on his flowing locks, sparkling on his Manley Gold Mic. O happy song, o rapturous delight, Yanni, you are my song, my wings, my life." Naturally, I won. But what, you wonder? Was it a the Manley Reference Gold Microphone? Was it a Massive Passive? A SLAM? No. It was a Yanni CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMS Author MikeRivers Posted August 18, 2011 CMS Author Share Posted August 18, 2011 "Yanni came up as the sun in my bitter night.

O happy song, o rapturous delight, Yanni, you are my song, my wings, my life." What a pile of horse manure! Nice imagery, though. Very poetic. Reminds me of a story. Pet Milk held a contest to pick a new slogan for their canned evaporated milk. Ma came up with an entry, sent it in, and told Pa about the contest and the slogan she entered. "Pet Milk, comes in a can. Good for every woman and man." So Pa also sent in an entry, and his was chosen as the winner. When she asked what his entry was and where he got the inspiration, he explained: It was easy. I just took what you entered and finished it off." "Pet Milk, comes in a canGood for every woman and manNo tits to pull, no hay to pitchJust punch a hole in the son of a bitch" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just about the worst thing I ever read. If there was an ounce of justice in this world, you wouldn't win a prize, you'd be punished in some horrible way. Something truly painful. For example, they'd send you a Yanni CD and you'd be forced to listen to it.. wait... Oh. I see. never mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Lee Knight Posted August 18, 2011 Moderators Share Posted August 18, 2011 O happy song, o rapturous delight, Yanni, you are my song, my wings, my life." I think it's pretty obvious you stole that poem from Linda Evans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Zooey Posted August 18, 2011 Members Share Posted August 18, 2011 Naturally, I won. But what, you wonder? Was it a the Manley Reference Gold Microphone? Was it a Massive Passive? A SLAM?No. It was a Yanni CD. Second Prize: Two Yanni CDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members daklander Posted August 18, 2011 Members Share Posted August 18, 2011 .... It was a Yanni CD. Which you will be stuck with forever. You won't be able to give it away, it will not stay thrown away and, like a bad penny, or that cat, it will keep coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members UstadKhanAli Posted August 18, 2011 Author Members Share Posted August 18, 2011 The CD arrived today, less than 24 hours later, along with two stickers that say TUBES RULE. The CD was opened already. What kind of fly-by-night operation is Manley Labs anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members UstadKhanAli Posted August 18, 2011 Author Members Share Posted August 18, 2011 Do you think Yanni is a thermionic emissions devotee? Should he be prominently featured, flowing locks and all, pimpin' fer Manley Labs? Do you think he'll see this thread and think I'm fun and want to record at Blueberry Buddha Recording Studios? If so, should I let him? If I were to record him, should I run everything through distortion and a bevy of patchbay synths and make him sound like Nine Inch Nails? Could I do any of this in all good conscience knowing that I don't own any Manley gear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
