   Found this interesting about a front man doing back-up vocals. Yes, Adam came to mind.

   Oh man, that is so much easier! Instead of me writing it all out here is an easy video I found you can watch and you can download anything to your iPad. Best yet, it is free and fast.

   Oh, and download the dropbox app and then if you get another computer and download dropbox on your computer they will sync and you will have anything you download on your iPad automatically on your computer then you can drag it into iTunes if you want or just watch it from dropbox. You can also make certain files public in dropbox so you can share with others.

   That’s a fascinating article, ulti. I’ve always thought Adam singing all of the back-up vocals on his albums was remarkable. He is also a one man band. I don’t think there is much that he can’t do with that voice of his. LHSM!

   aelythat’s great. I’ll give it a go. I don’t know what I’d do w/out my Glamily. I don’t think we’ve met, though perhaps we’ve been to some of the same concerts? TY for your help.

   Regarding Niles interview, I think it was all great PR for Adam, with the exclusion of the AI references. It’s almost romantic(can’t get the image of hungover Adam crawling out of bed…). Ahem. Then, because Niles will have none but the best, hungover or not, Adam pulls himself together, moseys on down, and nails the vocals, ‘singing the paint off the walls’. Just like Niles knew he would. Sigh. Doesn’t get much better, especially with Niles loudly declaring it a hit before its even released. Lets all cross our fingers and toes, put out those vibes, say our prayers, and preorder!

   One last cent worth re facial hair. To me, he is more stunning w/out it, because it just covers up his perfect features. With the hair, he is still an extremely good looking man, but more ordinary. What I really don’t like regarding Glee is that it makes him look older, and that show targets a younger audience.

   OK. Sorry to be so gabby. Lola out

    I think Nile told that story of calling Adam late at night, Adam’s got a hangover, gets on the treadmill to clear his head and body, comes into the studio in the middle of the night, and slays the vocals (singing the paint off the walls!) to convey the spur-of-the moment nature of the song. That’s how some of the best songs are created – organic, in the moment, not over-thought – and increases the “cool factor” of the song – it feels kind of like, “that’s how we did it back in the day.”

    ITA cwm. Nile’s is showing his hippie roots. Just jazzing, riffing, improvising, tossing something off.

    http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887323977304578654183441413280.html

    THE VOICE: My Morning Jacket’s Jim James is an in-demand backup singer.

    Jim James’s expansive voice helped make My Morning Jacket one of the most popular rock bands on the summer festival circuit. But when producer Tucker Martine calls upon the group’s frontman to sing on one of the records he’s working on…

    If the direct link does not work, google “THE VOICE: My Morning Jacket’s Jim James is an in-demand backup singer” and then follow the link from there. For some reason I was able to view the actual article by doing it that way.
