    I wonder what would come out of a Pearl Jam/Lanois session?

    You'd have to bring back Jack Irons for that. I think it would be similar to some of the songs on No Code. A lot of laid back songs with a real groove to them.

    Yeah... Airy with alot of slide guitar :)
    Hmmm we would have to bring in Neil Young too. He has worked with Lanois on the Le Noise album. He could help make the session go smooth :)

    Have your people contact Daniel and Neil, and let's see if we can get this project started.

    Awesome! I saw him in Victoria in 2007.
    His new album is out there.

    His new album is incredible in my eyes - and the way it translates to live is out of this world. The guy's attention to detail is uncanny.
