i LOVE to hear his non sped-up, regular, warm voice, and i know i'm not alone in this.

all songs on the soundtrack are Jon Brion production.

Well didn't say i do not like it. Though i do not like it .
It's weird but i LOVE his voice live, but when it comes to studio recordings, i think his voice is too..raw?..to really express all the..shades?..it needs to express on songs like, say, seeds we sow.
Or maybe (and that's probably it) i'm just too used to it.cause i used to complain too.

I don't remember anything about my family and Lindsey per se, but I had so many free copies of Under the Skin, because you got one with every ticket purchase. And I gave one to my boss, who was a guitarist, and he gave it back and said that he just couldn't get into the album because of Lindsey's vocal manipulations.

When Gift of Screws came out, I wasn't even working for him anymore, but we were still on the same floor and I had actually avoided the firm. I would never go to their corridor for any reason, but I wanted him to hear the new album so badly that I went down the hall and gave him a copy and told him Lindsey's vocals were not as manipulated on GoS and it was better than UTS. I don't think he agreed. I don't think I ever tried to turn him onto OOTC. Maybe I should have. Lindsey sometimes made it hard to proselytize on his behalf.

Of course, maybe my boss was just shallow. I remember giving him Live in Boston and he said it was good, but asked me why Stevie was wearing those Reebok boots. He said they were distracting. I would expect someone who considered himself a guitar afficionado to find other things to notice on the DVD.

Listening to #LindseyBuckingham's cool contributions to the great soundtrack to @JuddApatow's #ThisIs40, including a track w/ @NorahJones

[RockawayBlind]

Song samples of the "This is 40" soundtrack are now available on Amazon.com. Of the Lindsey tracks, I am digging "She Acts Like You" the most. It also sounds like Lindsey is doing background vocals on Norah Jones' "Always Judging." Also, the guitar might be Lindsey too. I think Norah is pretty dull, but this song sounds great.

agree about the guitar on Norah Jones song probably being LB.

we did actually discuss this here http://ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/showthread.php?t=50976

Me too!

I really liked all three. I was actually surprised when I listened to the snippets! It seems the songs are very much catered to the movie, in that they sound very light/pop/"indie-pretty" (I can't recall who said that earlier in the posts, but I like it ). I love that NEW music from LB is in this main stream movie - I think She Acts Like You is my favorite right now, but I actually really like Brother & Sister too.

I was really hoping for FM to record together, but now... Idk, I'm tired of the struggles lol. If it happens fine, but all I know is that LB better come out with some more solo stuff ASAP if Stevie doesn't want to record. These new songs have made me really excited about his future projects again! (Not that SWS wasn't fabulous)

Hello all---

A friend who's a newspaper music writer in a major US city told me about this release, and he received a copy of the soundtrack to review, so hopefully it will lead to a little more press for Lindsey.

I haven't heard the full songs yet, just the edits, but I'm enthusiastic about the fact that Lindsey worked with Jon Brion.

Jon is fantastically talented as a composer and musician---he's one of those prodigies who can literally play anything. But, unlike a lot of super-skilled musicians, he also has great restraint and fantastic pop sense. He knows a hook, not in the bubblegum sense of the word but in the classic pop sense. In other words, he's a student of The Beatles, The Kinks, Brian Wilson, and many other classic pop acts. Brion appears to be the musical director/producer for This is 40, and he has produced an unusual group of acts in the past: Aimee Mann, the Finn Brothers [ex Crowded House/Split Enz], Kanye West, Fiona Apple, Spoon, and more.

He also is also fiercely unpredictable. His regular shows at Largo in LA are legendary for their lack of a set list. I've not seen him personally, but I've heard recordings of them and read many reviews---you literally never know what you're going to hear at one of his shows. He does his own material [from his excellent album, Meaningless, and his soundtracks] as well as unreleased originals and cover tunes, and he often takes requests.

So, Jon and Lindsey have something in common---they are both outstanding musicians who are frustrated with parts of the music industry. But they differ in one important way---Brion enjoys playing without a net, while Lindsey clearly prefers to meticulously plan out his performances and recordings. Because of that important difference, I’m eager to hear more about how their collaboration took place.

Lindsey and the others mentioned that FM reunited recently for some recording sessions at Lindsey’s house, and I’m wondering now if perhaps Brion was involved in those sessions as well. I know things change, but a few years ago, didn’t Lindsey make a few comments about how, if the band did any more recording, they’d have to bring in an outside producer?

At the time, I hoped that they would work with Rick Rubin. I still think he’d be the best man for the job, and he has a knack for making established acts sound fresh and new again.

But if Rubin isn’t available or interested, Brion is a great back-up.

Regards,
matt

Lindsey did bring in an outside producer for those sessions, but it was not Jon Brion. It was Micthell Froom.

Well, isn't that interesting!

Froom is a very talented producer, though quite different from Rubin. You know, though...in some ways, he's not that different from Brion. They've also worked together in the past.

Froom has produced fantastic, career-defining records for artists like Los Lobos and Crowded House, and he's also worked with Bonnie Raitt, Sheryl Crow, Paul McCartney, Richard Thompson, Elvis Costello, Randy Newman, and many more.

Curiously, he's a remarkably talented keyboardist and arranger, so I wonder if he played keys on the sessions?

And didn't Mitch play keys on one song on OOTC? I don't have the liner notes in front of me...

Not that I don't trust you, but where did you hear this information?

Thanks,
matt

Lindsey's been yapping his head off about Froom in interviews, giving quotes that have been repeated in media outlets all across the nation. Last week we could barely breathe due to the inundation.

Guys,

Most of us don't want to buy the entire album, but do not ask for anyone to post MP3 links or to send you the MP3s. It's commercially available music.

Do not put up posts asking to exchange commercially available music. Lindsey has 3 songs on it. He seems to appear on Norah's too. That makes four tracks worth owning. The album is $9.99 on Itunes.

he does. i just received my hard copy, and he's credited on liner notes for guitar and backing vocals on Always Judging.

Well, thanks for setting me straight, Michele! Obviously, I haven't kept up as I should. I've read several interviews with Lindsey and Stevie, but this is the first I've heard of Froom's involvement.

Sometimes Itunes will provide a digital copy of the liner notes, but I didn't get one.

So, it looks like Lindsey is the sole composer for the three new songs.

With regard to the new FM songs, there's no listing for “Sad Angela” or “Miss Fantasy.” I still love “My Little Demon” and lament the fact that a proper studio version hasn’t been released. For that matter, I’d be completely okay with Christine returning for a one-off reunion on a band studio version of “Temporary One.”
