Huge rock: Collider and Tommy Ramone
Today I ventured to Loho Studios in NYC with Collider (the masters of genre-smashing rock and roll cold-fusion fronted by the one and only Jed Davis ) with T. Erdelyi handling production duties. You may know Mr. Erdelyi better as the legendary Tommy Ramone, who just happened to have kicked the shit out of the drums on the Ramones first three albums. Yes, those Ramones (Tommy is seated in the picture above cuz he's cool like that). So what the hell did I do in the presence of such greatness? Well, basically I tried not to screw up a Six / Jennifer -esque flow on the MF of a tune "Mock Cheer" for Collider's forthcoming and as yet unnamed EP. Start to finish all six tracks for the EP were cut in just three days and the sound is HUGE. I've listened to the rough mixes about 1,000 times since getting on the train back to Albany early Monday morning. Props to genius Jed and the Collider crew for having me. An honor and a pleasure. Keep it pointed to collider.com for updates on the giant new music.
