Extra's
casting with
Lori Eastside
down on the
Bowery. Our
core group
of club kids
are going
to be fabulous.
Larry Tee
(one of the
cowriters
of "Supermodel")
comes by with
his electroposse.
It's so gratifying
that the electro
thing is back;
we think the
first time
around it
got short
shrift from
a rock press
convinced
that anything
electronic
was inauthentic.
Only the previous
week Simon
Reynolds -
who once championed
this dim-witted
point of view
- wrote a
fawning New
York Times
piece hailing
the new trend.
After the
casting calls
we met up
with Mac and
Jimmy Harry
(another of
the co writers
of "Supermodel").
Jimmy is doing
the music
for the film
and an old
friend of
ours from
way back when.
We decided
to use an
old Pop Tart
song in the
film (Money,
Success, Fame,
Glamour) but
we need Mac
to re-record
the vocals.
We were all
crammed up
in a tiny
lower eastside
walk-up apartment.
Mac tossed
on the headphones
and got it
in a couple
of takes.
It reminded
us of our
youth, watching
Mac sing an
old Pop Tart
song.
