Five Things Bands Should Do While Living in a Bubble

4/24/07, 4:56 pm EST

Keith Richards is cooler than Cartel, and is trapped in a bubbleThe following statement is true: Atlanta-based pop-punkers Cartel will be recording their second album inside a giant transparent bubble on the tranquil banks of the Hudson river at Pier 54 in New York City. The experience will be filmed for a reality show and will involve chest-high shower webcams among other low-brow reality TV staple features.

The whole thing got us thinking about things we’d like to see other bands do in a giant bubble. Here’s our list. Add stuff.

  • Talk lots of shit about outsiders and enjoy complete protection from any physical reprisal.
  • Entertain passers-by every day with a new one of those gymnastic, multi-human-body-requiring shadow puppets they had at the Academy Awards.
  • Tell themselves that the Stones had to record Exile on Main Street in a bubble too.
  • Learn Chinese (it’s as good a time as any).
  • Rediscover childhood love of doodling on walls.

Yeah as Disneycal states below, already dopne by Regurgitator. But that happened outside of the USA, so we couldn’t expect RS to actually have any knowledge of it, could we?

Who cares? Anyone? Anyone?

recording in bubble = kinda cool, even if Cartel blows

making a reality tv show out of it = kinda real stupid, especially because Cartel blows

at the most, recording the recording could maybe be used for a bonus DVD extra on the album, but a tv series? Craaaaap.

marflord, I was tring to put 2 completely opposite signers in a bubble, not tring to be classy, just creepy…

This is lame. I hope somebody pushes the bubble over into the Hudson

This happened once before, Band in a Bubble maybe 2003 (?? not sure of exact date) Channel V on Foxtel followed a band record their album from inside the bubble which was placed in a shopping mall. Made for some terrible television…

maybe we should forget the bubble and shoot Axl in the face….. fuk chinese democracy.

Mili | 4/25/2007, 1:12 am EST

Yeah,you’re right,axl.They also should put Axl and Slash in a bubble and let them talk to each other (at last!)May be Chinese Democracy will get finnished then!…Who knows!?…

axl | 4/25/2007, 12:19 am EST

They should put the new guns n’ roses in a bubble and have them finish the long delayed album chinese democracy.

. . . I gues not enough peope know of Cartel, huh?

I think I’d want to hear this album, just to hear what an album in a bubble sounds like.

“When Charlotte was still cute”

What, like when she was 12? Real classy.

Band in a bubble: Find a big hill.

You yanks just ripped off an australian idea. As has been mentioned regurgiatator did this 3 years ago. Bloody get with the times!!!

mystico | 4/24/2007, 8:45 pm EST

Yeah the ‘Gurg did indeed do the same thing. I’d personally like to put all the idol winners, contestants in a giant airless bubble and see what happens. It would make for short but enjoyable viewing!

poopnagle | 4/24/2007, 8:34 pm EST

Why not put The Flaming Lips in ‘their’ bubble inside the new bubble..?

Jeff | 4/24/2007, 8:29 pm EST

amazing…simply amazing

DisneyCal | 4/24/2007, 8:26 pm EST

An Australian band called Regurgitator pretty much did eactly the same thing when they made their 2004 album Mish Mash… So hardly a WOW news story

meglovesrs | 4/24/2007, 8:23 pm EST

uumm… whoever did the photoshop job on Keith’s head…2 words: you’re fired.

charliemapleton | 4/24/2007, 7:00 pm EST

Connect the stars when night falls.

Live Free or Die | 4/24/2007, 6:41 pm EST

I’d like to see a duet of Charlotte Church and GG Allin naked in side this bubble, but only if GG were still alive and if Charlotte was still cute.

Sir Nigel Thornwait (deceased) | 4/24/2007, 6:16 pm EST

How about we put Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger and their little pig of a child in a bubble so we can all have a good laugh at this fractured-but-funny famous family?!

Carly | 4/24/2007, 5:58 pm EST

Furhter proof that reality TV is pathetic….
