War Child
New issue of EW arrived in the mail today (Harry Potter on the cover)
Page 76, in the music section, is a small "My Resume" sidebar (looks like a recurring profile piece on a various musician or producer. This week it's Daniel Lanois. He talks about a few people, Neil Young, Brandon Flowers, etc...
regarding U2:
"We certainly have enough leftovers [from 2009's No Line on the Horizon] to make another very beautiful record. I remember doing this pedal-steel number in Morocco - it was very, very touching, but it wasn't a hit single"
cool quote.
Are they beginning to remind you of that guy you knew in college who had "written a bunch of screenplays" that no one will ever see. What's with the hoarding of recordings. I know for years Prince recorded and recorded and just vaulted everything for himself. Feels like U2 is in a strange place at the moment.
It's interesting that they continue to publicly discuss all the music we'll never hear / hear if we're lucky. Not sure how i feel about the idea of not releasing something that is "very, very touching" simply because it's not a hit single. Isn't that what albums are for? Collections of songs that might not be hit singles, peppered with a couple tracks to sell the album?
I dunno. Figured it was a good quote to add to the discussion, but it looks like there is no open "quasi baselss speculation" thread anymroe, so apologies in advance for starting a new thread without a home. Mods, file this where you like.
