There’s no such thing as “too much of a good thing,” and I am happy to report that one of the best bands in the history of mankind (whoa) is planning another record on the heels of 2009’s The Eternal. Lee Ranaldo hinted to NME that they will “most probably going back into the studio next year.” However, they are still touring the current record and are enjoying that.
“We’re still deeply ensconced in our new record, so we’re gonna play a lot of The Eternal,” Ranaldo told BBC 6 Music, “that’s what we’re having the most fun with.”
I just caught the band last month in Boston, and the experience reminded me that I was born at the wrong time. Oh well, there’s a solution for that, too. The planned DVD release will combine footage from the 2007/2008 Daydream Nation tour with footage of them jamming the album back in the day (1988).
Also in the works are plans to digitize over 30 years of the band’s recordings.
“We’re doing a big archival house clean right now,” he explained. “We’ve got a massive archive of audio and video that’s sitting in our studio in Hoboken. We’ve got somebody in there who’s noting every single thing down and making a massive database, and then we’re going to start digitising it because some of the tapes are 30 years old now.”
