ah, the ideas!
anybody that knows me really well knows that i have far more ideas than i know what to do with or have the time to ever actually accomplish.
it's really tough for me to objectively watch a band that i really love because i'm always thinking about how i can evangelize for them and - in turn - make a living off of it if i'm lucky. this is especially true with my instrumental friends.
i always get such vivid images of interview footage and scenery when i watch a really good instrumental band.
i just came from a high in one eye show at the circle bar.
all i could think of while i was watching them is how much i wish that i could record them, video tape them playing in a MASSIVE warehouse and somehow get some angles that show the vastly expansive lonely space that the warehouse creates around them...
then splice in interview footage of a who's who of great minds in the new orleans instrumental scene.
and all of the interview footage would be of these great personalities in the scene talking trash about high in one eye.
"yeah, those high in one eye kids are pretty misunderstood... know who else was misunderstood? hitler."
"those kids are a trip. this one time, i brought them over to my grandmother's house out of the kindness of my heart. they hadn't eaten for days, neither of 'em. they were cold and dirty and down on their luck. it was awful, but my grandmother took 'em in and fed them. know how they thanked her? they called her a whore!"
to have these interviews with cory from hat talk, marshall from a living soundtrack, and rad mike from i, octopus layered over footage of the two of them standing in footie pajamas in the middle of rush hour traffic looking supermodel-bored with no regard for any of the hustle and bustle going on around them. all the while, one of their finest songs like cocaine & jalapenos is trudging underneath the interviews that fade back to the two of them in this huge warehouse....
god... i wish i had the time to make that video. it would be so god damn funny.
i wish... i wish...
i really wish that instrumental would just catch on like wildfire and that every band that i come into contact with could be the kings upon my blessing
