Life’s full of unexpected and largely unexplained collaborations be it Andre Agassi dumping Brooke Shields for Steffi Graf or Michael Jackson turning up at Exeter City football club. Some musical one’s make even less sense (I’m thinking George Michael and Mary J Bilge…yeah, I know I’ve spelt it wrong). Then we come to the curious case of the Arctic Monkeys journeying to California to have their latest album produced by Rock God Josh Homme. This latest collaboration got me thinking - which musical acts should collaborate for their and, for that matter, our musical enjoyment.
The first thing that sprung to my mind was the merging of Tenacious D and Blink 182. Obviously one producing the other would probably be quite boring (Except for them making it. But where’s the fun for us?) So they almost certainly need to perform a joint live show. Just imagine those two live acts combined. I haven’t the words to describe it, but I’m guessing it would be the funniest, rudest most bizarre thing you would ever witness. Ever.
I’d also make Oasis work at gunpoint with a producer or artist who would push their boundaries. If they refused, it wouldn’t be like we’d be missing out on anything new creative-wise. I’m think of either Jay-Z (obviously), Calvin Harris or Dizzee Rascal. Come to think of it the Ting Tings would be hilarious. But I’d settle for a Franz Ferdinand.
Jamie Cullum and Slipknot anyone? I wouldn’t want to hear the result but, y’know, it might be the last work they produced. Hopefully.
I’d also give Muse a proper make over. Imagine the sound they’d make with Arcade Fire providing every instrument they could possibly use times a thousand. They could probably perform on the top of Everest and the whole world would hear.
Got any ideas? Write them below…
