Left on the Cutting Room Floor.
This year the Professors of Pleasure were asked to record a version of "Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow" for Tulane's holiday e-card. The session itself was a breeze (we tacked in on to the end of the first of two days of recording for the new CD) , if I recall correctly we did two takes, the second just for insurance, since take one sounded fine and ultimately that's the one we used. The "video shoot" a couple of months later was another matter. I'm starting to develop sympathy for Britney Spears and the rest of the MTV set who suffer from "lipsync malfunctions." It's harder than it looks to fake playing to a pre-recorded track, especially if you're trying to hook up finger motions to a solo you recorded two months before. Basically, we looked so lame that Tulane decided to cut us out of the visuals altogether. Here's the final version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NhC-JqlbSA We get the same bread either way, so that kind of takes the sting out of it. |
