Interference Random Music Talk: Rick Rubin produces the XX

[corianderstem]

Gotcha.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

As long as Edge is around

What if I kidnap Edge, chain him up, and force him to cook me healthy meals all day, every day?

What would you do then, yuppie?

 

[u2popmofo]

I wouldn't offer possible kidnap scenarios to someone who's made of iron, Gafster. That has super human trouble written all over it.

I would say that you are behaving erratically because you had been posting in EYKIW again.

 

[corianderstem]

I just saw that Annie Lennox has a holiday CD coming out. Yay!

 

[lazarus]

I heard it's called Here Comes the Rein(deer) Again.

[Jive Turkey]

booooooooo

 

[martha]

I never realized he produced the single version of Walk On, but when I found that out, that was my first thought. He could actually do really well as their producer.

This is the first I've heard of this as well. The single version kicks all kinds of ass.

 

[No spoken words]

Probably related to my skepticism about all things related toU2 "news" but I am just not all that excited at the moment. I'd like to be, trust me. I guess if things go from quotes to solid release dates, I'll perk up.

I want a few interlanders to record an album produced by Shouter. I'd like to hear a cover of The Pretender's "Message of Love" as done by a band comprised of GAF, PFan, Ashley, Laz, The Deputy and Iron Yuppie.

 

[If you shout...]

I have worked with a band or two, in my day. But I have no formal musical education of any kind, and the bands were friends, rather than...co-workers, I guess you'd say? Whatever. Either way, shit rarely worked. The idea of sampling golf balls for a rhythm track to a pop-punk song didn't go over so well. Nor did many of the others. If nothing else, a suburban punk band used to perform (though never recorded) a frantic, hilarious song called "My Bass Player's Gay," which I wrote.

I taught it to the drummer and the guitarist/vocalist, and they later taught the bass player the chord changes. He didn't find out what the song was about until they played it at a gig. Good times. Tellingly, the only "albums" I've ever produced/performed/written/released were comedy shit.

 

[No spoken words]

I don't fucking care, you're producing this album. In my head, at least.

 

[PhilsFan]

I write music, play guitar and bass, sing, and intend to learn the piano this winter.

I've only played in a full band setting once, and it consisted solely of 90s punk covers. I played the shit out of "My Own Worst Enemy."

And I can't currently play the guitar, so at our hypothetical shouter-produced gigs, I'd pull a Bono and get random crowd people to play it.

 

[martha]

I thought the term was "pull a Boner," but I may be wrong.

When you're healed, the band will start to lay some tracks down. Not before.

Cori is in this band, too, by the way, almost forgot.

Scumbo will be booking venues.

The musket is a tremendous negotiating tool.

 

[iron yuppie]

I can play some piano. My current repertoire is heavy on Radiohead and Elton John, so I'm not sure how easily I could interpret The Pretenders.

 

[the tourist]

I suddenly miss playing shows with my bands. Silly show-hiatus.

Videotape is currently the only song I can play on the piano.

 

[PhilsFan]

I had so much fun. I wish I was in a band, even if we just played covers. I've grown very bored of plucking an acoustic guitar in my room.

You read my mind.

I can play some piano. My current repertoire is heavy on Radiohead and Elton John, so I'm not sure how easily I could interpret The Pretenders.

You could play electric tambourine for this particular tune.

Get one of your bands back together and tour with this band.

 

[bono_212]

As long as I get to play synth or drums, I'm cool with this.

In my head, you were playing the drums.

Yeah, playing by yourself can get boring for sure. That's why I rarely do it anymore. I used to do it all the time. Now I pretty only much play when I'm with friends who play and/or my bands.

Get one of your bands back together and tour with this band.

Heh, they're both together--just not playing shows at the moment. Writing material.

 

[iron yuppie]

Videotape is currently the only song I can play on the piano.

That was one of the first ones that I learnt as well. Radiohead is actually a great band for learning piano, as Thom follows the same basic patterns for most all of the songs (or at least the ones that I have been playing).

Where's Laz? I can't do it.

 

[No spoken words]

I, too, refuse to do it. It's actually sort of done already, really.

 

[corianderstem]

Thank you for remembering me. Am I on tambourine? Assign me a role.

 

[the tourist]

Where's Laz? I can't do it.
