So just for tonight I decided to have some fun. I was thinking that it would be great to have a supergroup that would be led by Gary Louris of the Jayhawks and Nick Lowe of Nick Lowe. Nick could play bass, and Gary would be the lead guitarist. I must now figure out who would flesh out the rest of the group...

So we got Nick and Gary singing and playing their respective instruments, but who to get on drums?

Drums: Kent Coomer? Uriel Jones? I was actually thinking Georgia Hubley of Yo La Tengo, cause then you not only get a singing drummer, but you get a GIRL singing drummer.

Rythym Guitar: I she wasn't so huge, I'd say Chrissie Hynde, but Liz Phair is gone have to be my final choice.

Keyboards: You got to have a great keyboard player when you have a supergroup, that's just a fact, but who's it gonna be? Oh Yeah, no fucking question, Jay Mutherfucking Bennett...mutherfucker.

Wow, this is a really great band so far, and I havn't even chosen a horn section yet. I'm also not sure if the album should have guest artists, you know, friends of the band that play or sing on the best cuts. Nick Lowe could bring John Hiatt, who might play and write a song for the project, but not sing on it. Gary might run into Ryan Adams, convince him to play guitar, but ends up staying on as the uncredited sixth member. I'm also trying to figure out how to get the Memphis horns to show up, and maybe the funk brothers, but that's for another fantasy...
