Phoenix: the making of Wolfgang Amadeus…

October 15th, 2010

For the last 2 weeks, Phoenix have been posting these “making of…” videos on their blog, dissecting the genesis of the album that topped my Best Of 2009 list. The cool thing is that for every song you get 2 commentaries: one by the band and one by Zdar, who not only mixed the album but also served as sort of guru/co-producer. Of course Zdar also mixes Chromeo’s albums and I’ve written about him before.

The clips for the 9 songs are up on their site now, make sure you go check them out. Work on your French.

Did I prepare a special set for the summer? Can I charge my Sonicare toothbrush on European voltage? All those questions will be answered in this blog post. Read on, my friends.
