ANOTHER SOUND OF THE CITY CHAT ROOM EXCLUSIVE! We have no idea how these dudes do this, but iVoice correspondent Brandon Stroud hacked into an IM conversation between Nellie MacKay and her producer and sent us a screenshot! OMMFG! FIIIRST LOOK!
 |
McKayver: For my next release I have narrowed down the song choices from 100,000 to an even 240. |
|
|
McKayver: If we put ten songs on each disc we can release it in two boxed set volumes of 12 discs each. |
|
|
McKayver: The cover of volume 1 is me giving you the finger with the title “Norah Jones Can Eat Shit.” |
 |
RecordProducer: we can’t do that |
|
|
McKayver: We can market it toward young people who like jazz music but think it needs more cursing. |
|
|
RecordProducer: we’re making one album with a super thin cardboard cover and you only get ten songs |
|
|
RecordProducer: let’s have them, your ten best |
|
|
McKayver: all right, track one is a ragtime composition where I stop in the middle to battle rap Frank French |
|
|
McKayver: track two is called BEER ME O LORD and I play the Flamenco Guitar with my elbows and it kinda sounds like shit, but that’s what I’m going for |
|
|
McKayver: then for track three we change gears completely with chamber music~! |
|
|
McKayver: then some light instrumental jazz where I sign in portuguese |
|
|
McKayver: are you liking this
the back of the album is going to be a candid photo of me hugging a pigeon
|
|
|
RecordProducer: sigh
what’s the last song on the album
|
|
|
McKayver: it’s a really straight-forward, beautifully performed, catchy song where my influences shine and I really come into my own. |
|
|
RecordProducer: whoa, really? sweet |
|
|
McKayver: and in the chorus we have, say, babies screaming |
|
|
RecordProducer: no |
|
|
McKayver: gunshots, old people screaming, blood splatter |
|
|
RecordProducer: no |
|
|
McKayver: chainsaws, howling dogs |
|
|
RecordProducer: no |
|
|
McKayver: zombie noises |
|
|
RecordProducer: no
sigh, okay, zombie noises
|
|
|
McKayver: excellent! a really straight-forward, beautifully performed, catchy song with zombie noises! |
|
|
McKayver: /plays piano like psychopath
/does not blink
|
|
|
RecordProducer: we’re going to be poor and weird forever |
|
|
McKayver: but you love me right |
|
|
RecordProducer: more than anything in the world |
