NUOVISSIMA INTERVISTA AD Alan MCGee sul nuovo materiale di Courtney Love:
Alan McGee just checked in with Poptones.co.uk on the progress of the Dirty Pretty Things sessions with Carl Barat’s new band. ‘I just spent yesterday in the studio with the band and producer Dave Sardy ... who did Oasis and Jet. And I’ve got to say that the sessions are going incredibly well. ‘Bang Bang’ is a massive hit. And so is Deadwood. The album is turning into a classic already.’ ... Dirty Pretty Things and Dave Sardy are super pleased with how the sessions are going.’
‘After that ... Courtney Love wanted me to come over and be the first to hear her new demos just as her friend. The one’s that people are calling ‘The Rehab Demos’ ... I’ve just come back from spending four hours in the studio with Courtney and she is in excellent shape. Her state of mind and being is the best that I’ve seen her in five years. Her Buddhist techniques are keeping her strong mentally and physically. And the songs? The songs are classic. They are acoustic demos but they are the strongest songs that I’ve heard out of Courtney in ages. They are heavy blues numbers ... the one that they talked about in the Guardian, ‘How Dirty Girls Get Clean’, is a classic Courtney Love billowy number. And the others are like PJ Harvey, heavy rock blues on acoustic. I was just there as her mate and I’ve got to say that I’m really pleased that she’s got herself sorted. Three days after she left the rehab, she’s back in the studio and demo’ing the new songs. And they are incredible.
