was Corey trying to have *fun* with you. Here is what the website says about the name, and some nice history.
The name, inspired by the eclectic fashions of friend and poet Michael McClure, was initially The Different Fur Trading Company.

Through his tenacious efforts Gleeson began working with Herbie Hancock on the album ‘Sunlight’. Fred Catero also engineered Herbie’s albums, ‘Crossings’, Sextant’, and ‘Headhunters’ at Different Fur. In the 1970’s the studio underwent many fabulous changes. With the help of John Storyk it was completely redesigned. After this Different Fur quickly brought in a wide array of well known musicians which included, Neil Young, Van Morrison, Stevie Wonder, Confunkshun, and Devo, amongst others. The studio was revamped again in the 80’s but maintained Storyk’s original acoustic design. This is when the second floor was initially remodeled. Consequently the studio welcomed such artists as Brian Eno, Phil Collins, Kronos Quartet, Jonathan Richman, Pablo Cruise, and many others.

btw, second picture is from “Different Fun” studios. Great pictures, I walk around this block daily
Very funny, that was my mistake, not the photographers. I have walked by the studio for years and always thought Fur….Okay, will fix now. Best, Lydia
Very interesting photos of a very interesting city. It is a long way from rural Deep East Texas. WD Strinden MD
