Recording?

[seanthompson]

So, is Christine in L.A.? Any recording? What's the latest?

Just seeing that word, "recording," on this board...it makes my heart beat double time! One thing I hope this trip accomplishes is sparking the desire in her to create again...solo, with the band, with *a* band, doesn't matter to me. Just want to hear more from her.

These are the comments in question:

Our moonwalking pony ad for Three mobile is now topping the global viral charts. Second Sync, which analyzes Twitter conversations, says that the video generated 14,000 tweets within five hours of its internet premiere on Friday.

But even more excitingly, we got a telephone call from Martin Wyatt, manager of Christine McVie of Fleetwood Mac, the writer and performer of the song 'Everywhere' that soundtracks the ad. He told us that Christine is "absolutely thrilled to bits" that we used ‘Everywhere’ and wanted to congratulate whoever made the decision to use it in the ad. She "absolutely loves" the ad and has been "glued to the TV all weekend" waiting for it to come back on. Our Three team is a bit starstruck and overwhelmed at this news.

I guess Chris hasn't heard of YouTube.

Um, wouldn't she (or someone on her behalf) have had to sign off on this?

No, it would be the publishing company who has the rights of refusal, not the songwriter.

Didn't Christine sell all her rights to her songs after the Dance?

I remember reading this somewhere as well. No wonder she doesn't need to tour. Her tunes are so heavily played. I hear her songs all the time in stores, airports, offices.. etc..

She earned every penny with those sweet, sad, soft, sincere, beautiful songs.

I don't think this statement meant that the decision to use it was a surprise to her, just that she wanted to congratulate them for having used her song and having it pay off go grandly.

I just wonder if she ever added any vocals to the 8 or so songs that have been recorded? We haven't heard anything about recording or meeting with any of the rest of the band in L.A. Did she really just come for vacation, or did she sing background, submit a song or two, or what? They have just about enough songs to make an entire 12-14 track album, right?
