Probably not.

Mr Albini surely must have worked with plenty of fuck-crap? He is a jobbing recorder of sound is he not?

Although I wonder about Mr Albini's expertise in all things auto-tune/melodyne/whatever the current shit-polisher favoured by big-wigs is...

I admire Avril Lavignes balls. That first song she did (about things being complicated) had about 3 guitarists in the video, yet all you could hear was keyboards.

I might do a grindcore song but make a video where we're all just playing flutes.

Not that I'm an Avril expert or anything, but I don't think I've ever heard a keyboard in that song.

That's because it was set to "guitar."

i like avril just fine. i also like kelly clarkson just fine. i think they are both talented singers. like, they were born to be singers, and they do it well.

as far as avril recording with steve? wow. hrm. i think it would be cool, provided the artist/management were looking at it is "we're getting more edgy, so it makes sense to record with someone who's not so pop-oriented" or something like that. if they were expecting steve to do a big hollywood-type production, i don't know, that sounds like maybe a bad idea. if they want it to sound like real, natural music, they *should* do it with steve. but if they want it to sound more manufactured and "over-produced"...

i like avril. i think if you put me in her position when i was her age, i wouldn't be able to do anywhere near as good as she does. not because she's got an edge, being a young grrrl. just because she's got really good command of her voice and everything.

let's not talk about lyrics. although again, when i was her age, my lyrics were *awful*.

while we're talking about unlikely combinations...

i've read here that steve doesn't like the strokes.

most people think they are overhyped, overlauded etc., and those who think that are probably right.

i liked "is this it," but i wasn't too hot on "room on fire."

all that aside...

i think their music would go really well with steve's recording aesthetic. anyone else agree? i would like to hear it. it won't happen, but i would like to hear it.

I'd like to record the Strokes. Instead of microphones, I will use stainless steel forks and knives. I think this technique would help the band reach its full potential.

Somebody had these Avril quotes in their sig on another board. The last one is hilarious.

"(Gasp) Britney Spears fully clothed?"
I created punk for this day and age. Do you see Britney walking around
wearing ties and singing punk? Hell no. Thats what I do. I'm like a Sid
Vicious for a new generation. People look up to me and want to be me. And
thats fine, just don't try to copy the shit I do!"

"Christina Agu...who? I thought that whore died!"

"People like Shakira shouldn't have record contracts. She cant even speak English."
