Are there any bands in the Chicago area that you were just like 'wow, I need to try to get these guys...'?

[/ QUOTE ]
Most bands in Chicago know how to get ahold of me, and if they're not interested in having me work on their records, I wouldn't want to put them on the spot by thrusting myself on them.
[ QUOTE ]
Also, do you work w/ any jam style bands and how do you do studio work w/ those bands?

[/ QUOTE ]
I have worked with Blues Traveler and a few other jam-type bands. Generally, they set up and play live, so they can improvise and free-ball it the way they do onstage. It's a familiar and comfortable way for me to work.

If you're asking if I 'shroom first, then no, I don't 'shroom first.

My question: Are you sick to death of people asking you about Big Black?

OP, I almost pm'd you a while ago to urge you to do this.
Honestly, this is a great idea.

You are very familiar to me via my infatuation with the Pixies, but have obviously heard a lot more of your work. I actually didn't know you had worked with PJ Harvey, but it felt very obvious once you mentioned Rid of Me. Of course!

On to the questions:

Do you think you helped make Gogol Bordello huge?

Do I remember you talking about "Bone Machine" from that Pixies DVD a coupl'a years back?

Great thread!

My question - what's the worst you have seen in regards to the band's experience? Have you ever seen a band fall apart in the studio?

Are there any other bands that you've worked with that you feel deserve to be heard that we may have overlooked?

[/ QUOTE ]
Great question. Off the top of my head:
Brickbat, Cordelia's Dad, Oxbow, the Cape May, Shannon Wright, Tar, Sloy, the Auteurs, Cheer Accident, Uzeda, Bokomolech, Ballydowse, Distortion Felix, Sonna, Desert Fathers... Jesus there's a bajillion of them.

what do you think of the iPhone?

I have made it this far in life without having to carry a phone everywhere, so only extra poker functionality would get me to join the cellphone team, and word is still out.

do you hate hippies and hippy music as much as everyone else?

[/ QUOTE ]
Hippies themselves are pretty harmless. Hippy music, I think I hate that even more than I hate everyone else.

Vinyl or Digital?

Neither. I go straight for the vagina. You find them on women.

Absolutely. Steve, please send your hired goons to whatever part of Chicago they live in and browbeat them into reforming.

Any chance you'll be in Vegas for the WSOP this year?

[/ QUOTE ]
I hope to make it out there some year, but it will not be this one. It would be great to meet some of the irrepressible bons-vivants that frequent this site, though I am wary of POB attempts.
