The U: 36 days until air
Friday, November 6, 2009 at 9:49PM Late night at Honor Roll Studios on Thursday, recording the opening title track for The U with Uncle Luke.
Luther called at 8pm and asked us to round up a crew to record the call-and-response chorus. We organized a Facebook/Twitter flash mob and everyone was well into their third or fourth round once Luke arrived around 11:30.
Billy showed Luke a few segments from the film and, after a few Bacardi Limons, he got on the mic and did what Luke does -- he nailed the new anthem for the Canes.
John and Arunima from ESPN came by, as did Mickey Munday, Peter Richardson, Carlos Miller and an assortment of other rakontur-associated troublemakers.
Read Fasse and Nick Scapa at Honor Roll are working on the edit and mix of the track now. We're thinking about cutting a video for the song with clips from the film and having it online around the first of December.
