Sean Slade

The final flashback episode (A Pop Diary) from the '00s, this time featuring Sean Slade. From Wikipedia: Sean Slade is an American record producer, engineer, and mixer. In 1985, Slade and Kolderie co-founded Boston's Fort Apache Studios, along with Jim Fitting and Joe Harvard. The studio originated in Roxbury, but later relocated to Cambridge, Massachusetts. "We were all a part of that DIY kind of culture," said Slade. "The whole idea of getting someone in to design [the studio] wasn’t part of the plan. The plan was, 'Get a control room, get a playing room, get the wiring right, get a console, and then just start recording'.”  Slade and Kolderie co-produced Radiohead's debut album, Pablo Honey, which was released 1993. Slade has produced and/or mixed recordings by such artists as Hole, Warren Zevon, Pixies, The Lemonheads, Juliana Hatfield, Morphine, Big Dipper, Dinosaur Jr., and Uncle Tupelo. He co-produced (with Kolderie) Hole's Live Through This, which went multi-platinum within a year of its release and spawned four singles. Slade is currently a faculty member at the Berklee College of Music.
