for some reason the armand van helden mix of ‘new york new york’ wasn’t playing on the myspace player.
i have no idea why, but i took it down and replaced it with ‘make love, fuck war’, which is a song that i did with public enemy a few years ago.
i think that we did it for a compilation record, but it didn’t get a lot of attention because, well,
it’s an anti-war song with the word ‘fuck’ in the title.
somehow i’ve been able to work with most of my musical heroes.
not to be a shameless name-dropper, but here’s my shameless name-dropping musical colaboration list:
made ‘make love, fuck war’ with public enemy
played ‘me and bobby mcgee’ with kris kristofferson at an imnf fundraiser
played ‘walk on the wild side’ with lou reed at a naral fundraiser
played ‘why does my heart feel so bad?’ with elton john in l.a
toured with david bowie
played ‘heroes’ in my living room with david bowie
danced with joe strummer in a bar a few weeks before he died
played ‘new dawn fades’ with new order
played a lounge version of ‘sweet child o mine’ for axl rose
played ‘helpless’ with bono and michael stipe
traded guitar solo’s with slash while playing ‘whole lotta love’ at roseland
and so on.
i know, name dropping is shameless(or, well, shameful)but it’s amazing to me that i’ve had the opportunity to make music with so many people whom i idolized when i was growing up.
ok, thanks
