dust brothers again
well, it's as if someone was listening in on our recent discussion of the Dust
Brothers. there's a good-size article on the LA Dust Bros in BAM, a free Bay
Area music rag. there's a pic of them and their names are quite different from
those on the Boys Own records...
incidentally, there's a neat bit where they talk about the making of Paul's
Boutique - mostly done with very primitive gear. they'd make loops that ran the
whole length of the track and just layer them up until they'd filled the entire
tape, then they went and mixed it on very sophisticated automated consoles. and
here's my favorite quote:
"to get just the right sound we used a blue bong, high quality indica buds,
hash, hash oil, freebase, red wine, cigarettes, LSD, coffee, and whippits."
mmmm... music production: it's not just a job, it's an adventure.
