Dear Mike and Mike: My goal in life has changed from “being the man” on stage to helping other people succeed at fulfilling their creative music vision in the recording studio.

Dear Mik and Mike: My boyfriend won’t get a job. He’s very capable, but I guess also a bit lazy. I didn’t notice at first because he treats me really well and he’s very good at the romantic part. He’s been living with me for a year now and is less motivated than ever. I [...] The Moon Is Up Uranus
