*PLEASE TRY TO SEQUENCE AND OMIT SONGS AS NECESSARY” “At your Best“ Rick to follow up with Jonny Greenwood about string arrangements Rick to have some background singers or a sample to the bridge

“Ivy” Missing the audio (Scream) to be sent from London from Frank Vocoder only in “o thought that i was dreaming” section? feel free to arrange vocoder

“Pretty Sweet” Good raw sound in Vs1 (very angular punk rock sound) Pick out which final line to use for V1 “kill me” vs “fuck me” Make guitar in first part sound different or possibly replace

“Pink and White” Record real strings from mockup intro Make sound overall less bright and synthetic

“Solo” Waiting for 3000 Vs Open to new samples / elements throughout Try other BGVs to add layers to second Cs “Skyline II” Percussion or something harsh with less decay layered in w/kick in middle section (or less decay on the kick itself), Find good texture (analog / sp1200) for first drum loop

“Carreras” Guitar is loopy and gets boring (maybe more single note melodic bits to break it up or other instruments/samples) Check out the fugazi loop in outro (may find a better element to put in its place).

“Nikes” Ride low vocal or mute in places where its trampling on the high vocal Try using the actual audio files not voice memo files for the first half of the song, Take Kohh off the end of the song (feels too long) Start a fast fade on the “you can hangover” line so that by the time the ‘oohs’ come in they’re really quiet almost not there. A couple sections in the outro feel thin Look for samples (maybe in outro) / harmonic elements (Frank will send samples from London)

“Mona Lisa” Make as raw and warm as possible/feel-good Ask Kate to try some things (topic is coveting things)

“White Ferrari” More elements or a hook in the body of the song? Someone else to write it? Please help There are 2 versions OG POP “White Ferrari” Make the “whale sounds” sound less like a whale Frank sending intro and outro vocals Try background singers on the Ooooh’s

“California” First half needs music, looking for something lush, Jason to check out intro bass? Outro could be helped also

“Siegfried” Ask Ommas to tune lead vocal? (if necessary)

“Godspeed”

Make lead vocal less bright and aggressive James has alternate outro w/choir that we need multitrack

“Futura Free” Reference mix of “Anthrax” by Gang of Four (“i like the buried vocal sound but would like it to cut through”) On the “Yemen to the Rhythm” section bring down pitched low vocal Unsure about piano in the second half Use the effect from the Eventide plugin (“Mona Lisa” lyric) put on the names of Jay , Yeezy, Drake, Weezy (its a blur out effect, setting called “Rap Bass Hype)

What’s with all this noise about frank dropping Friday. Usually Reddit loves they theories, but like Twitter talking about it too..

The theory is that because channel orange dropped 7/10, and blonde dropped 8/20, so by all laws of nature it must release in 9/30.

This should serve as a master class to all music makers on how to meditate on a song and make it better
