$5 Cover: New MTV Series on Local Music – Craig Brewer Interview (BB Video)
This episode of Boing Boing Video is brought to you by http://www.wepc.com/.
Director Craig Brewer (Hustle and Flow , Black Snake Moan ) talks to us about his latest project — the MTV online series $5 Cover, which chronicles the internet-age lives and dreams of struggling musicians in Memphis, Tennessee.
$5 Cover is described as “a rough-and-tumble show set in the clubs, bars, and all-night cafes of present-day Memphis,” and follows “young musicians as they fight for love, inspiration, and money to pay the rent.”
These are real people, but this is not reality schlock.
When I first saw clips of the series in production during a visit to the MTV offices, I knew it was going to be great. I grew up on MTV as a teen, but am not generally a fan of MTV’s current on-air programming. I’ve felt for some time like the network no longer produced stuff I’d find interesting.
But this is different. Maybe part of what allowed something this authentic and engaging to incubate at MTV is the fact that this is primarily an online series.
And then there’s the fact that Brewer is at the helm. I’m a big fan of his big-screen work, and he clearly loves the stories at the heart of $5 Cover — the lives and art of musicians who are his own community, in Memphis.
Boing Boing asked Brewer how the internet is changing what it means to be an independent artist, and how technology is changing the nature of what “local music” means. He talks to us about why he created the show, how this is different than directing for film or television, and why all of this matters so much to him.
When MTV sent us a DVD of the completed episodes, Boing Boing Video’s editor and I watched them all, back to back, and then vowed to buy some of the music online. I’m not kidding, it’s that great. We went particularly nuts about Amy Lavere, an artist featured in the first part of the Boing Boing Video episode. She’s from Memphis, by way of TX and Louisiana. Al Kapone was another personal fave.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. Will this be on iTunes?
–No, not the iTunes store, but it can be in your iTunes for free. Download it from my website, djearworm.com. You don’t need to pay the iTunes store to put free mp3s in your iTunes software, you just download the mp3 and then double-click on it (or drag it into your iTunes if that doesn’t work).
2. Why is that artist I hate in your list, and why isn’t that artist I love in your list?
–This is based on the Top 25 songs of Billboard’s 2009 year-end list. I didn’t choose the songs. The complete list is here: http://www.billboard.com/charts-year-end#/charts-year-end/hot-100-songs?year=2009
3. Why is that song from last year in the list? Why isn’t that song which was so popular toward the end of the year on the list?
–Billboard’s cutoff date is Dec 1st, to give them time to calculate the results and publish them well before New Years Day, which is good for me, since I need a little time to put this together and release it before the end of the year!
4. How long did this take you?
–If you add it up, about a month. About two weeks earlier in the year using educated guesswork, and then two weeks between when Billboard released the list and when I put it out.
5. What software did you use?
–Ableton Live for arranging the music. It’s AWESOME, and it’s what I use to DJ live with as well. Final Cut Pro for the video. For acapella extraction, see the next question.
6. How did you get the vocals without the instruments?
–if you search for “acapella” with the name of your song, you might find an isolated vocal. In some cases, I use a bit of Adobe Audition (the Center Channel Extractor effect) for vocal isolation. This removes instruments that are to the left or right in your stereo, and leaves only the sound that’s in the center. You can also use this effect to take an instrumental and a full track to create an acapella. Check out my book “Audio Mashup Construction Kit” for more details on this technique, there’s a whole chapter on it. In a few instances I used Melodyne Studio for vocal isolation.
7. What are the lyrics? Who sang that one part? I didn’t hear that one artist!
–I’ve posted the complete lyrics here, as well as a guide to where each of the lyrics and instruments came from:
http://djearworm.com/united-state-of-pop-2009-blame-it-on-the-pop-lyrics.htm
8. I want to make mashups, do you have any tips?
–Learn as much music theory as possible! Get ACID or Ableton Live, and learn it well. Make sure you understand key and tempo, so you can sync everything and get the parts to harmonize correctly. If you’re of a technical mindset, my book “Audio Mashup Construction Kit” covers my techniques in great detail.
9. Can I repost this video?
–please, no, and thanks for asking! Use the music however you want, but don’t simply repost the video in its entirety on your channel. I lots of people are doing it, but I wish they wouldn’t!
10. Doesn’t this prove how much pop music sucks nowadays and is basically interchangeable?
–Not at all. If you alter the tempo and pitch of any music enough, you could get anything to fit together, whether it’s Bach or the Black Eyed Peas. What it does prove is how far technology has come to make these alterations sound convincing. I’ve manipulated some of these vocals HEAVILY.
