One Life to Live OLTL: The Prospect Park Era (old production thread)

[Vee]

I think only Niki and Tommy hit the clubs.

[Darn]

I was mocking...a few people here actually and most everyone on FB. GOSH.

[Vee]

Die, heathen.

(I was kidding)

[~bl~]

As long as the guest star isn't another missing Buchanan. There are enough of those running around the universe.

Nervo are well known in Australia. When they did the decent album track for Kylie's last album, Put Your Hands Up, it was huge news down there that they were co-writing and co-producing anything with her. I blieve they've done a lot of (sigh) Kesha as well--but their own stuff is less known here obviously.

[EricMontreal22]

I doubt it will be used for most of their scenes

[EricMontreal22]

Why? Isn't that how the soap press saw the last few years of OLTL?

ANyway not to start that. I admit, I don't like Jessie and the ToyBoys and I thought her career died after one club only hit--but I'm welcome to see what they do with her (I assume it'll be a small role at most.) I find it kinda funny KDP tweeted her--she prob thinks they should do a duet

[Vee]

One of my Australian friends is apparently too hipster for Nervo, dismissing them as "part of the Tommy Trash bizarro universe" he has never heard of. I have no idea what that means because I don't speak kanga, though his and my musical tastes usually intersect. But I like them!

[EricMontreal22]

I suppose they're a bit on the commercial/pop end of current dance music, but I like most of what I've heard as well.

[AlexElizabeth]

I have never heard of any of these music people. Is it just me?

[Vee]

Well, he likes all the same crap I like so he can hardly talk.

[Scotty]

No it's not just you....I haven't heard of them either. Which made it fun trying to write articles about them. lol

[EricMontreal22]

So far I at least know the names--like I said the Nervo sisters have produced for the likes of Kesha and Kylie (OK, I know a lot of N Americans don't hear Kylie) so I'm sure you've heard something they were involved with. Or maybe not.

I do like that they seem to be promoting interesting artists (OK, like I said Jessie and the Boy Toys isn't a fave of mine, but still)--not just big acts like One Life did a few times a year before. As long as it's not too intrusive, it seems a good way to feature them in the occasional club scene and probably not a bad deal for the companies involved--up-and-coming artists usually gain more from exposure on tv shows than established ones, anyway, even if those might bring in more viewers.

[Ryan Chamberlain]

I hate newer music. Ugh.

I hate music on soaps period. I really hope they don't try to go for edge over good storylines and dialogue.

[EricMontreal22]

I heard they are doing just that. Maybe you should decide not to watch (again)...

So they should only feature in club scenes music from.... pre 1990? 1980? That'll really get a buzzy online audience. (And hey, I love me some disco, 80s synth pop and 60s Brit Pop so it's not like I mind out of taste.) I do agree that obviously they can't devote big chunks of episode to any fo these acts--at least not often, but if they're the music in the club and we cut to conversation, etc, I have no prob.
