bond both connery favorite feels kinship movies sean seen shirley
I've seen all of the movies. I'm an old-school Bond fan. Sean Connery is our band's favorite Bond. Shirley feels a kinship with him because they're both from Scotland.
bond mini pain recording
much more of a pain in the ass than recording the song. It was like making a mini Bond film.
asking audience audiences kids left opening outside regular saw standing time tour
We were on tour so we couldn't make it. But we saw the movie in Tucson with a regular audience during its opening weekend. By the time we left the theater, there were like 500 kids standing outside and asking for autographs, so we had our own little mini-premiere.
tough
That's Shirley, tough and vulnerable. She's the real thing,
band bunch cool honor song theme
We're a bunch of geeks. We're not cool at all. We're the geekiest band out there, let me tell you, so it's an honor to do the theme song for such a cool international spy.
band bunch cool honor song theme
We're a bunch of geeks, ... We're not cool at all. We're the geekiest band out there, let me tell you, so it's an honor to do the theme song for such a cool international spy.
band intention
We had no intention of it being a full-time band or of even touring. We just thought, let's make a cool, interesting record,
carved felt ourselves record reinvent version
We didn't want to reinvent ourselves with the new album. We felt that we had carved our own turf on the first record and we wanted to take everything we did and make it better, ... Version 2.0.
audience audiences avoid coming everybody freedom heard individual moral people repression rights shooting song stuff throwing trying yelling
We didn't tell the audience that this was a setup, that we were shooting a video, ... It was weird; there was this huge, like, 'Ahhh.' I heard this groan and moan, and then everybody started going 'Booooo' and yelling 'Bull-shit!' and throwing stuff up on the stage. Most people thought that she had been arrested. The song is about trying to find your own freedom as an individual and to avoid the repression that's coming down on individual rights from the right-wing, so-called Moral Majority.
dynamic melody song sure sweeping trying
We were trying to make sure the arrangement was good, because the song has a very dynamic and sweeping melody line,
caught certain everybody kept people record saying song written
I think because the first record caught people off-guard, there were certain expectations that were set up for this record and everybody kept saying it's going to be huge, it's going to be massive. And we hadn't even written a song yet,
bond garbage pleased sounds turned
We're pretty pleased with how it turned out. To Garbage fans, it sounds like a Garbage song. And to Bond fans, it's a Bond song.
artist track evil
Compression is a necessary evil. The artists I know want to sound competitive. You don't want your track to sound quieter or wimpier by comparison. We've raised the bar and you can't really step back.
thinking impact sound
I think the Cosmic Psychos were a band that was highly influential on the Seattle so called grunge scene. I know that Kurt and Nirvana were fans, they played shows with Pearl Jam. Even thou the Cosmic Psychos never had the commercial impact or success that those bands had, they were still a major influence on them, and I think a lot of it had to do with the spirit and the sound of their music.
