So I was hanging with Matt, Steve and Nick...

[Mike Flynn]

Dang Mike... I'm too jealous! that must have been sweet!

It was a lot of fun - and I thought we asll got on really well, I mean I know my music and I can play bass pretty well so I didn't feel out of my depth - and Matt is such a dude and very down to earth, and very, very funny - it takes the edge off the fact he's an incredible musician and bassist. Nick was very cool and sociable as well - I'm very lucky and I really appreciate that it was a cool experience indeed.

I've been thinkin', Squarepusher and Garrison coming together, that would be awesome! Actually, I'd like to see Tom Jenkinson in a "normal" band situation, he's fantastic.

 

[Mike Flynn]

Funny you should say that - Matt tried calling Tom and getting him down to the gigs but Tom is a little shy and I think sees Matt as a rival more than a collaborator - and on the subject of SP being in a band I really don't think he'd actually tolerate any one else's musical vision apart from his own - I may be wrong but I think the only person he's really collaborated with is Aphex Twin - and he's a pretty twisted chap too!

 

[Vorago]

hmm yes, too bad, I'd really like to see what SP could do in a band, I just know he has a lot more to offer then he is showing.

And do you know on what project Aphex Twin and SP worked together? I dig the both alot, and I'd love to hear it.

 

[Mike Flynn]

Not sure - but I think it was some remix thing - I'll let you know if I can find out

MG and SP would make for a sick album...

 

[Mike Flynn]

You know it J - Matt did ask SP to remix his stuff for him, but Tom Jenkinson, being the difficult SOB he is, declined the offer - that would have been some unbelievable sh*t right there....

That's too bad. Really would be cool... specially if a Brad Mehldau 'Largo'-esque organic sound could be incorporated as well. Well let Sq.Pusher know that it would sell like no tomorrow...

Brad, Matt and Squarepusher - holly-moley - that would be one f***ed up combo...I love Brad's work as well - haven't really heard anything since Largo as it goes - I kind of got side-tracked by E.S.T. - The Esbjorn Svenssen Trio - if you haven't heard them check them out -they're quite amazing - the album 'Seven Days Of Falling' is good place to start.

The Bad Plus has got some crazy sense of musical humour mixed with earnest chops! Their version of 'Iron Man' is pretty hip.


Thanks again!

For a small fee, you can hang out with me... that fee is pie.
