And Heeeeeeeeeres Jonny about Big Ears ..... From the interview: NC: Had you heard of Big Ears before they asked you to play? JG: Never. I hadn’t heard of Knoxville. NC: That’s fair. JG: No, it’s not fair at all. It’s been nice. It’s kind of interesting, this festival. I assumed it would be out in a field, under a tent. That’s my idea of a festival. But it’s nice how it’s in every venue in the city. I was in the art gallery watching Wordless Orchestra play Shaker Loops, and it’s great bouncing around from venue to bar to restaurant. It’s a nice mix of music and fun. Yay, Jonny! Also: JG: I think a lot of judgments are made on recordings nowadays, which is a shame. When you’re in a room with a bunch of musicians who are sweating and concentrating their way through this kind of big animal and keeping it alive and keeping it going, you get a sense of that effort. It can transform how you think about music. I don’t know, I’m getting more and more obsessed with music as a performance and not really trusting recordings anymore. Thats pretty much how I think and why I like live music. You have to see/hear a band to find out what theyre really like; the recordings should just be a clue as to what you MIGHT see/hear. And, theres something wrong if a band cant reasonably produce on stage what it has recorded. Ive seen plenty of those bands. nashvillescene/nashvillecream/archives/2014/03/31/jonny-greenwood-the-cream-interview
