64. on an airplane, moments before it crashes and kills the entire band. their final moments would be captured in lo-fi glory on the black box recorder (it would helpful, but not mandatory, if the name of the band was "Black Box Recorder"), and the limited-edition release would be housed in a box designed to resemble the actual flight recorder.

Coldplay are recording an album in my colon right now. It's pretty damn uncomfortable, but I endure it knowing that one day this shit will come out.

God, that must have been a dream though. I can't google anything up about it.

barns are ideal studios because they're huge open spaces with high ceilings, they're far away from other neighbors, and it's presumably cheaper to be out of the city. you're not supposed to "smell the hay" ffs.

Between the embargo on old-tymey locations such as barns and converted churches, and inflections of wantrepreneurship in bobo locations such as bedrooms and dorms, you're not leaving a lot of places for people to get their recordings done.

flamboyant goon tie included, Sunday, 9 June 2013 17:06 (thirteen years ago)

Approved locations for album-making include funeral homes, soup kitchens, Eastern bloc recording studios, active army bases, outer space,

nine months pass...

Nowadays, the least conventional place for a totally meaningful indie band to record is a recording studio.
