Daptone Gear Stolen
When Gabe Roth writes that recently stolen items from his studio include "A whole bunch of condensor and dynamic microphones (I still need to figure out exactly what's missing)," that's potentially a huge loss. Roth is one of the masterminds behind Daptone Records, and their recording philosophy includes a reliance on older gear. Even if it didn't cost that much, it can't be easy to find and replace some of the more unique items. A complete list of the stolen gear can be found here, among other places. Here's hoping they get their gear back soon. And if this doesn't serve as a cautionary tale to get insurance and security, I don't know what does.

http://savedaptone.com/ — we’re trying to raise money for Daptone Records in the wake of their current hardships by asking for $4 (or one drink) at time … spread the word if you like.
Daptone’s done a great deal for the community, time for the community to so a little something for Daptone, right?
