Curiously enough a friend of mine is going to the recording studio today to record a song; he's putting together a collection of five or so to release and try and get some interest in. He's mentioned that he might call me from the studio to show me virtually around since he's in Mallorca and I'm in Malta... but sadly all that useful information will only come after I've written to the prompt.

The recording studio
"This is where the magic happens," said the saleswoman, grinning like this was her entire reason for getting up every morning. "You sit in that chair there -- and some very famous people have sat in there before you -- and then the machines read every fold of your brain and record it to crystal and upload it into the AI matrix."
"What happens to you after you've been recorded?" Shirley's mom was much more skeptical of this process than Shirley.
"We take you out back and shoot you," said the saleswoman cheerily.

Greg - well that's almost perfect timing! Perhaps you'll be inspired to include something after you've been given the tour?

Wasn't expecting that exact final line, but something in the spirit of it. Did not, for the record, ruin the experience of reading this in the slightest :)
