Movie Soundtrack Next?
Gigwise
“We need to shake things up by doing something…I don’t know what it’ll be,” he said.
“Scoring a film. We’re always saying that and no one seems to pick up on it, but we’d fucking love to score a film.”
When asked about their reasons for wanting to write a soundtrack, Goodwin replied: “We just always have.
“Hopefully you can hear it in your music. Everything is very filmic and we’ve often sampled many of the TV cop films of old.
“We’ve been doing that since we were in [former band] Sub Sub.”

Go to the BBC iPlayer here (its available to anyone outside the UK too) then fast forward to 1.18 into the show, for the feature demo heaven. Check out the jingle also sung by Jimi! Listen to Jimi & Guy waffle on, before Guy plays the track around 1.24. Of course I never bootlegged this first time around, not sure how it got on my ipod! 🙂
ps: If you are in the US, Don’t forget Elbow are on Letterman tonight!

The Last Broadcast
I was surprised by how nice the venue was, especially for being so far on the West Side of Manhattan. They showed videos throughout the whole show on a big screen behind them, it was more entertaining than some shows that just shine bright lights or show swirlies on a screen the whole time. They came out for an encore after perhaps 3 minutes of clapping. I’d guess the audience was about 2,000 people maybe, give or take a thousand, kidding…probably 2,000.
Jimi Interviewed For Epilogue Magazine
Online culture magazine, Epilogue,
There’s so many great tidbits in this interview, such as: Jimi wanting to host “mix tapes” at Doves’ official site, but being unable to do so, due to copyright restrictions; and how touring the U.S. actually loses them money…
Do you think more bands will do the Radiohead, In Rainbows style of release?
I keep hearing that and that people will only put out singles from now on. A lot of bands get to a certain situation now, where the only time they can make any money is by touring. We come out to America, and we might even be paying out of our own pocket by 5-$10,000, just to come and play. You don’t get any tour support anymore. We obviously try to limit that to happening as least as possible because we have families and everything. There is a cutoff point where I am like, “We can not afford to do this.”But then, it is better when you are playing in England.
Yeah that’s the only place where we can get a little bit of a wage so to speak.

“The man was basically a philanthropist,” remembers bassist Jimi Goodwin. “He bankrolled us and gave us a second chance as Doves. Without him, I don’t know where we’d be.”
