Sparklehorse

Hard to get.

Yeah

... for instance.

Every night is gone Got it all worked out Funny little girl Showing them what pain is all about Where did all the time go Every night is gone, gone, gone

There's the sound of Danger Mouse and Sparkle Horse.

with a song called Little Girl featuring Julian Casablancas of The Strokes.

Someone's texted in about how, you know, our conversation about people kissing on the dance floor, Rob.

You've worked with a lot of different people.

We mentioned Manic Street Preachers, but also Sparkle Horse, Danger Mouse.

What do you look for in a collaboration?

Well, obviously, I need to feel like the music is something that I like and that would work with my voice and so forth.

Actually, Adam in the band was like, hey, you want to produce us? I think we were at the PATH station.

And I produced another band, The Dancing Hoods, that had Bob Bortnick, who ended up being an A&R guy that signed Garbage, and Mark Linkus, who went on to Sparkle Horse.

So

I had that under my belt and Gene Holder produced the individual's records, but I was kind of in, you know, in the mix learning as well yeah they were just this kind of cool django rock band i was more i wasn't a great mixer so i did a lot of like help them with their arrangements and you know edit some of the songs that said play that lick there and that kind of stuff and kind of got the material where it was ready to go i must have recorded the basics and then somebody that john wicks kind of took over and mixed it.
