Na papiru, činilo mi se da je ideja baš jednostavna. Želeo sam da “na jednom mestu” okupim sve muzičare (ili bar većinu), koji su tokom poslednjih desetak godina, od prvog koncert POP Depresije (Nina Nastasia, 23. septembar 2002, Dom omladine) do danas, svirali u Beogradu i da tako još jednom podsetim i sebe i druge na značajan period života. Nije bilo mnogo teško ni u praksi – brojni PD prijatelji koji su tokom godina bili gosti/domaćini na našim koncertima – Kodagain, Nežni Dalibor, Ilija Ludvig, Autopark, ŽeneKese, The Mothership Orchestra, On Tour, Ventolin, Wooden Ambulance, Ika, Lula Mae, Stray Dogg – izabrali su da obrade pesmu bendova/solista koji su tokom ovog perioda svirali u Beogradu. Baukova Soba, Studio Underground NBGD i svi učesnici ove “akcije” omogućili su da se sve na najbolji mogući način izvede i tako ovu ideju pretvorili u pravi muzički vremeplov. Svima se zahvaljujem i jedva čekam da ponovo nešto radimo zajedno. ivan/PD
SONGS UNDER COVER POP DEPRESSION: THE CONCERT YEARS – On paper, it seemed like a pretty simple idea. I wanted to gather round all (or most) of the musicians who played in Belgrade for the past decade under the Pop Depression organization, ever since the first gig (Nina Nastasia, September 23rd 2002, Dom Omladine). I needed to mark that very important period of my and our lives. It hasn’t been very difficult to do – many of PD friends who were guests/hosts in our concerts – Kodagain, Nežni Dalibor, Ilija Ludvig, Autopark, ŽeneKese, The Mothership Orchestra, On Tour, Ventolin, Wooden Ambulance, Ika, Lula Mae, Stray Dogg – selected to cover one song by foreign artist/band who played in Belgrade during the aforementioned period. Bauk’s Room, Studio Underground NBGD and all the other participants of this particular ‘event’ made sure that everything went smoothly and turned this idea into one true music time machine. Thank you to each and every one, I can hardly wait to work with you again.
