They sort of did that with the rehearsal gigs back in 2011

Ken Scott was on a recent Rockonteurs and talks a bit about his work with Missing Persons and a tiny bit about his work with Duran.

nice catch and thread i don't remember seeing this one before, but who can keep track of all the threads? it would be really cool if "pop trash" gets some attention in a few years for the 25th/release/anniversary like "medazzaland" seems to be getting (with podcasts/chatter/etc etc etc). it would be great to hear ken's point of view and even better to hear what he was working on with mixes, etc.

Would love a track by track retrospective from those involved with the recordings. Would only take half an hour per album from each member and would easily equate to hour long episodes similar with AJR's podcast. Could do 2 - 3 albums a year to break it up.

Agree, would love this, but…JT had to ask which album came before Medazzaland at that recent Q&A 🤣😂… Hey, at least we had that Rob Sheffield interview, where they spent 30 minutes talking about the band’s early days. Because, we have barely heard anything about that era 🤣😂

Which would lead to endless threads on everyone wondering where the truth lies 😂 I feel like the band don't even remember what happened in the early days, they just have a rehearsed response down pat from the endless interviews.

Which would lead to endless threads on everyone wondering where the truth lies 😂 I feel like the band don't even remember what happened in the early days, they just have a rehearsed response down pat from the endless interviews. There is a famous SNL skit with William Shatner from the 80’s, in which he is playing himself at a Star Trek convention. A fan asks him a ridiculously detailed question (“what was the combination to your safe in episode 34” or something) and basically goes off…”it’s just a show! Just a gig I did for a few years…get a life!!! Have any of you even kissed a girl?! 🤣😂🤣… I often think of this when trying to cut the band some slack. For us, our memories of each album start when we buy it on release day. For DD, it’s the culmination of years of work and rework & song fragments turning into song parts & other ideas being jettisoned & production etc. We look at something like Future Past as a 15 song collection, but we don’t see the bits & pieces & sawdust strewn around the studio that the band created & sifted through to get to that finished product…so…their memories of projects are naturally going to be different & skewed vs ours as fans, loaded with contradictions like you said 😂…because, ultimately, DD’s music is never our job, but it is theirs. Anyway - yes, that kind of podcast would be amazing, contradictions & all. And heck, they should just send JT here to fill in the blanks on stuff like the chronology of DD’s discography 🤣😂🤣…
