Was listening to Steve Lamaq on radio one for a change. They were talking about the current guitar band scene and discussing how it's an interesting time for guitar bands. Kinda like the late 80's cause all the labels (major and minor)A&R people are sitting in the front two rows at all these small gigs. Basically trying to find the next "Strokes" or "White Strips".

Apparently major labels are going back to the old school. Basically, trying to find bands and nuture them into the next "U2" or "REM". There's this band in Denmark (can't remember the name) and they were totally unknown out of their country. Even in their country they only played gigs and didn't ever record/release anything. Anyway, word spread and they've just been signed for a 7 figure sum.

The circle turns and now the labels are heavily into signing guitar bands. Its cool watching bands (I'm not a regular guitar gig attender) like Ash and The White Stripes though, cos there is always this strange kinda sexual tension going on between the male lead singers and the female guitarist/drummer. Its like go and rent a bloody room!

after her single populariased that clipped-edit guitar riff (where you edit off the last bit of the phrase to leave a gap) thing, it's appearing on lots of tracks.

you know now that you mention it k, I don't know if you listen to commercial hiphop nowadays, but they've gone back to that one-shot sample sound, playing it on a scale (not really paying attention to time stretching, ol skool style). Which is kinda how that Madonna track sounded with its stutter style. I remember a couple of my hiphoppin' buddies being excited about that track and I didn't really get why they liked Madonna all of a sudden. Seems her influence may have spread even there... the timing's about right.

That shit's all over the place now (boy, boy, boy, boy, oh-oh-oh-oh- boy! Hate that shit actually, really annoying. Kinda like Fatboy slim   )

ah, that was that other guy... whats his name... mirwais! thats it!

i read an interview with him once regarding that track. allegedly, his engineer likes to fuck around with strings of sysex and make samplers do weird things. then of course they chuck it into protools (as if you couldnt guess  )

yeah but i dont think that's how they did it with her track, i think they just edited a guitar track with butt cuts - i like that one shot style tho it's nice, like the old mirage days etc heh heh.

It's good for a couple measures if you change it up then, but it's the entire basis of too many tracks on the radio nowadays. Ick.
