Awwwww!! Quote about JC

Rereading a transcript of the LA in-studio interview JC did in November of 2002 with Dallas Austin & Joey...

Dallas said the following wonderfully cute little quote about JC...

This dude is one of the most talented people, period! He plays guitar, he plays the piano, he writes like beautiful songs, walks around in flip-flops all day! Writes these beautiful songs like love poems falling out of the sky, man and you know.

BT on working with *NSYNC on 'Pop'

With this whole JC & BT & Force of Gravity thing, I decided I wanted to go looking for more information about this BT person.

I found a few articles, and in a couple of them, I found some new stuff I hadn't heard before (about making 'Pop', & how exactly BT ended up working with *NSYNC).

The following stuff comes from two different interviews/articles. I found both through message board links or archived news articles at the bt fansite here. One article is here, and the other article is here.

( Doing the vocal edits/treatments for 'Pop', Surprise at acceptance & success of 'Pop' )

( Bending The Boy Bands - In depth interview/article on making 'Pop' )

Favorite points/quotes

BT was surprised that 'Pop' was accepted, and even more surprised when it was picked as the first single.
His goal for the sound of 'Pop' was for it to sound like you had Michael Jackson in a headlock and were just shaking him.

Before I did this project I had the same preconceived notions that I think a lot of other people have about boy bands, he says. Then JC [Chasez] came to one of my live shows in Orlando, Florida, and my tour manager said, 'Hey man, a member of a boy band is here to see you.' I was like, 'What the fuck are you talking about?' There I was, playing this insane rave with a six-piece band, with everybody instrument-hopping, and now somebody from a boy band was here to see us?
(bolded emphasis is my own)

That first time I met JC he asked me to produce one of their tracks, and I said, 'But you're a boy band and I make these underground electronic records. I'm gonna piss off all three of my fans and you're gonna piss off your 20 million. We can't do that, man!'


JC? At a rave!?

::gets all sorts of mental images::
