Blue Mixing

In the music industry, when the "sound guy" makes an opening band sound bad (by poorly mixing them) to make the headlining band sound better.

The practice is mentioned in Five Iron Frenzy's song "Blue Mix" from the album "Electric Boogaloo." Lead singer Reese Roper disclosed the song's meaning in the November/December 2001 issue of HM (Hard Music) Magazine.

blue sky mining

The practice of completely stripping a region bare of all natural resources without regard to sustainability, such as clearfelling a rainforest, intensive cultivation without fertilizing, or open-cast strip-mining a mountain range. This phrase was also used by 80s rock band Midnight Oil as the name of a popular song.
If we continue blue sky mining the Amazon rainforests, pretty soon we won't have any oxygen to breathe!
