Re: Ask a music scene micro celebrity
[ QUOTE ]
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?

Re: Ask a music scene micro celebrity
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? |

Re: Ask a music scene micro celebrity
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. [ QUOTE ] what do you think of the iPhone? [/ QUOTE ] 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? [/ QUOTE ] Neither. I go straight for the vagina. You find them on women. |

What do you think of this bio of you? [/ QUOTE ] Extraordinarily lame. I'm guessing school project. [ QUOTE ] Oh and he needs a custom title for sure. Any ideas? [/ QUOTE ] Something that makes me more terrifying please. |

[ QUOTE ]
What do you think of the state of rock music today? [/ QUOTE ] How do you play a pair of Eights? [ QUOTE ] Are there any bands around that you would like to work with? [/ QUOTE ] Any swinging dick whose checks won't bounce. [ QUOTE ] Are you married? [/ QUOTE ] You gay or something? [ QUOTE ] 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. |
