got my 30 minutes with cook yesterday. cool guy.
riverhorse - in answer to your question on whether he has plans of putting "we're only honest when we're sleeping" on his next album:
I don’t know. My guitar player Neil actually helped produce the record for me before Idol. It was supposed to be my second record that I would put out. It never saw the light of day because of Idol, but we had a song in there called “Were Only Honest When We’re Sleeping” and we were putting a show together for this tour and we decided to kind of throw stuff in that maybe people hadn’t heard. We wanted to show that we had known each other for quite a while and this wasn’t necessarily a new thing. Yeah that song is a lot of fun to play. I would love to put it on the record. But first and foremost, my goal is always going to be to make a complete, cohesive record. And the songs have to fit.
sleepyinsomniac - in answer to your question on the 5 songs he would put on a "super special playlist" for a girl that he likes (took him a long time to come up with this list)
“Calling You” by Blue October. Uhmm…”Easy Lover” by Phil Collins…The wild card...I’ll throw “Even Flow” in there by Pearl Jam, just to make sure she likes the same kind of music. If she’s like, ‘Oh I don’t like that song,’ then you don’t like me, and that’s a problem. Uhmm…another song…uhmm…It’s tough. You gotta pick the right song. You can’t be too sappy. You can’t pick like “Endless Love.” We’ll go “Hello” by Lionel Richie. Why not?
(I asked: Your version?)
No, his version. Lastly, the coup de grace…trying to think back to all the records I’ve owned...like if I ever made a mixed tape for a girl…you know, my high school sweetheart and I, our song was actually “I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing” by Aerosmith. How odd that I had to sing that in the show…
Will post a link to the full article I'm writing on the interview. Hope you guys don't mind I'm crashing your "cookista" thread hehe...
