Show Notes
Neil Diamond put Stones in Jacknife’s shoes Musicians with No Stations - Anyone can do Anything Jacknife loves The Cure and The Banshees and Drums (We’re off to a Good Start!) Artists willing to Alienate - to do what they want!
The Gender Change Box – Expanding the Arsenal! Documenting Discovery – Being a Band - Not a Brand The Cure’s 1st album was their live setlist On 17 Seconds they swapped instruments - No set formula Discussion is healthy but Discussion takes time!
Vocalists are Tricky! Musicians as Tightrope walkers – Without Safety nets Risks can be Creative but not for Careers! Good bands fight to Discover – Take something small and Enlarge! Robert Smith focussed everyone by saying, ‘this will be the Last Time.’
Fragility / Self-hatred / Being weird Pornography almost killed The Cure but reanimated them. Club Smith or Club Tolhurst, had Simon Gallup singing Kate Bush
Doing It Like the First Time! Our New album - Fresh and Exciting! Guest vocalists working Outside comfort Zones Bobby Gillespie and James Murphy at Home - Arrow in Topanga New bands are mostly missing the drummer’s personality (We’re off to a Good End!)
