Jerry Finn Report

Post by fergal41 »

So, here's the deal

I've been taxed with the responsibility of constructing a mini thesis (basically a massive 4000 word report) on any musical production technique, album, era, sound or whatever - it's pretty open ended. It's a part of my end of year hand ins for my final year of college.

I've been thinking seriously of focusing on Jerry Finn's production style and sound, but wouldn't know if there are enough resources or where to find them. I'll be doing some internet research on this later in the month and will look for some books/decent magazine interviews aswell.

In the mean time I was just wondering if any members of the board who are in any way clued in on this fellow would be able to give me any hints, point me in the right direction, facts, anything! I would be massively appreciative as I'd like to do this paper on something I'm genuinely interested in, even though it's not something I possess too much knowledge on!

I can describe Jerry Finns production in two words: overproduced and polished

I love his production. I think it's almost like extra instrumentation adding so much to the sound.

For over produced and over polished see Underclass Hero or American Idiot - piss poor production.

Little off-topic, but here's a little interview with blink's Mark Hoppus talking about Jerry.

I've just read it a half hour ago, B182's been always saying how much Jerry's work is admired !
This is Mark Allen Hoppus. He likes long walks on the beach. This, this is travis barker. He likes to be read poetry just before sunset. And me, I like to stick small pieces of furniture up my butt.

I spy on my dad while he is taking a shower just like everyone else
Mark: Sometimes when I talk in 3rd person i end up calling tom mark
Tom:Yea than he starts touching me and i think thats masturbation
Some people think were idiots or perverts dont argue were both.
