Daniel Robert Epstein: Ric Ocasek

DANIEL ROBERT EPSTEIN: Ric Ocasek

The Cars came together at the end of the 1970’s just as rock and synthesizers were becoming common, due to the growing popularity of New Wave. The Cars’ songs were a staple of the radio and their videos garnered numerous awards from MTV. Though the original members of the band broke up in 1988, Ric Ocasek has never stopped creating and producing music. He produced such seminal bands like Weezer and Bad Brains. But his latest project is the DVD, The Cars Unlocked: The Live Performances. This new DVD...

Ocasek was such a killer songwriter and producer with The Cars that it's cool to hear of this project coming out.

(FYI, I'm sure it was just a typo, but the thing that mastering engineers do to an album is EQ it, not "queing" - which is no doubt what Ric said. The lifelong audio geek / retired engineer in me had to say this. )

Nice work yet again, DRE!
