Music Shit / Great quotes from the Grizzly Bear press release.
« on: September 03, 2009, 08:36:09 AM »
Michael McDonald disses punk, Jay Z talks like he invented underground music. Sorry if this belongs in "pop punk."
Jay-Z praises Grizzly Bear
"Grizzly Bear is an incredible band. The thing I want to say to everyone-- I hope this happens because it will push rap, it will push hip-hop to go even further-- what the indie rock movement is doing right now is very inspiring. It felt like us in the beginning. These concerts, they're not on the radio, no one hears about them, and there's 12,000 people in attendance. And the music that they're making and the connection they're making to people is really inspiring."
Michael McDonald talks about his collaboration with Grizzly Bear
"I was really impressed with the show. Their songs were alluring and interesting. So when they mentioned to me about doing this, I said absolutely...When I was with the Doobies, the style of music was that we all went over the falls with chord progressions, trying to make things as complex and interconnected as possible. The punk movement swung towards being as primitive as possible, but now it's back to where these guys are good musicians. I never thought that would come back around, but it has."
