on Danger Mouse's production

[No spoken words]

Yes, and now two threads can focus on this nonsense.

 

[The Slow Loris]

So really it is a a quote from a guy claiming he met up with Lillywhite instead if an actual quote from Lillywhite himself.

That is correct, David. I don't see why it wouldn't be true though.

 

[Gonna Run 2 U]

I still think Danger Mouses work has been traditionally boring as shit. Unless there's heavy hip hop influences like U2 bullshitted about with Rza in the 90s I'm not excited

Add this to your Beatles post today and you had a bad day on the internets.

Wanting to hear a record by a band he likes is bad?

Do you purposefully choose the most obtuse interpretation of other people's statements?

Wanting to hear a record by a (bird) shitty band is.

Judging by today's news, we may never get to hear DM's work with U2.

The sessions were very invigorating and productive

Oh, hello again troll!

 

[Vlad n U 2]

This is pretty harmless trolling if it even is trolling.

Thankfully, we have strict rules that disagree. We've been down this path before.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I also don't know what's going on.

 

[gvox]

It's either Larry ....or one or our resident trolls feels ignored and has finally decided on an exit strategy

 

[mama cass]

It's either Larry

quick, someone tell Alan Cross!

Seems I nailed it. It was the liking a band thingy.

Not obtuse. Laser sharp.

"Gonna Run 2 U" should know better. Liking a band some person doesn't like, disliking a producer some person really likes.

The stones on him/her. How dare they.

 

[LemonMelon]

I think Laz should be banned for making fun of someone. That's a mean thing to do.

"Here, I come to save the day!" oops. Wrong mouse.

This is to me the song by U2 that comes most close to Danger mouse's sound:
U2 - Happiness Is A Warm Gun (The Gun Mix) - YouTube

new BB song and Danger Mouse interview..

I really want to hear U2 through the Danger Mouse filter!

food for thought on the new Danger Mouse album, from the "Danger Mouse, That Dude" blog

I just took a closer look at the track times for “After the Disco” as they’re listed on iTunes…

It’s a long album! Just a hair over 45 minutes. That’s a change for DM - he’s been quoted in the past as saying his ideal album length is between 33 and 36 minutes.

I cant imagine a 35 minute U2 album.. wouldn't allow for any 5 minute mid-tempo songs! their bread and butter.

 

[JamietheEdgefan]

That's an interesting thought. I think the person behind that blog also posted on atu2 with some predictions on what a Danger Mouse-produced u2 album would be like, and one of their points was that DM prefers shorter, to the point songs.

With u2's apparent aim to have 'lots of hits' or whatever, the band could go along with that idea (most radio hits are pretty short, not like the 7-minute long MOS), and we could well get an album much shorter than NLOTH.

 

[jeevey]

I guess maybe it's a sign of my age that even a 45 minute record seems a little short. Seems like most of my faves are right up around 60.

Young age then. 60 plus minutes records are typical of the digital age.
