Lindsey's Mindset
I was just wondering about LB’s touring ‘rhythm’…Now would usually be the time – after a big succe$$ful FM tour, for LB to be free to go more into solo, underground mode and enjoy the creative freedom he experiences during that time…but with the return of CM, he’s right back into the Mac with new CM songs and a new tour. Esp given his recent recognition/collabs with more cutting-edge artists (more like-minded ‘left side of the palette’ I guess you could say), I wonder if he’s working on Mac stuff enthusiastically, or with more of a sense of legacy/last tour, and just doing the work?? I mean, I guess he’s able to juggle both, as he has for years, but I was pondering his real mindset around now. Have any of his public comments alluded to his feelings about going back to the studio and tour w reunited FM?

To be in his head now must be pretty bouncy. |
I recall an interview where he specifically said that what he wanted to do now was to go into the studio and record an album with FM, but that it would depend on getting everyone else on the same page for them to actually do it... Or something along those lines. It was before the news about CM came about. I'll try to find it.

since practically the beginning of 2009 Unleashed tour he was giving out signals that he wanted to record an FM album really bad... and i think that colored what he was doing throughout a lot of the last 5 years:
but than there was Hesitation Marks. and OMS. and recent Grammy performance. and a few other things. and these all happened in 2012 or after. each one of these i would have to think whetted his appetite for something different, again. somewhere where he always wanted to go. left side of the palette. as primarily his fan (as opposed to primarily FM or fan of one of the other macsters), i think that's where he should go. unequivocally. he already made his mark and legacy with FM. it's time for him to finally explore that left side some more and make some of his marks there, that he's obviously very capable of doing. now what's in his mindset regarding all that... no idea. he's been however working with a pretty breakneck speed in the last few years. so maybe he can do all of it. what he will want to put more effort into, where he'll push more, is a question. |

regarding his public statements, he really gave just that one radio interview about Christine maybe coming back (before it was official and they were all skirting around it). he said something like her potentially coming back opens up a whole spectrum of possibilities that make him happy but he doesn't want to say anything more because he doesn't want to jinx it. |
I do want him to work with other people, like the NIN collab that I (and others ;)) love so much. But I want MORE, not just a little guitar part on a couple of tracks. I guess I want a solo album, sounding more like "real" Lindsey singing (She Acts Like You) and less whispery, with awesome people on HIS songs. Like a LB song with bonus Trent Reznor, or Dave Grohl, or whoever.
As far as an FM album, I think it could be good if everyone steps up and brings their "A" game. Stevie needs to be a team player this time around. I thought the EP was good. I liked Sad Angel a lot, especially live. I've been wondering though, with all the talk about producers, why hasn't anyone suggested who was used for the Sound City album? As far as I could tell, Chiffonheads liked You Can't Fix This. Stevie obviously loved her experience with the players/docu in general. The album in its entirety won a Grammy for Best Compliation Soundtrack for Visual Media, and Cut Me Some Slack won Best Rock Song. One of the mixers has already worked with Stevie, too. Not sure how that went though. Eh. What do I know. :shrug: |

i like the idea of his solo album with interesting collaborations a lot - although that's been done so much by everyone who wants to attract different audiences to their work. but depending on who collaborators would be and what they would contribute it could be very interesting and different from what all others are doing. but i still also like the idea of him collaborating and adding his embellishments to other people's projects, like with HM/NIN, just more.

Butch Vig. i think he was the producer for most of the Sound City tracks. |
Eh probably just because it was "Sirvana." I didn't care for it either, but I think it's cool who was in that little group. And yeah, they should use that guy! :laugh:

would LOVE to see him open up his solo albums a little more. we've gotten plenty of the "genius alone in the basement" recordings, and they've been great, but after multiple albums of this, it's time for something different. Maybe that's part of why I've always loved OOTC so much... he worked with Richard on it and it has a different feel to it. I would love for him to bring some new talent into his solo work-- not as glossy, publicity-generating stuff but real playing with others and feeding off their ideas. |
