Geoff Rickley (Thursday) has recently talked about his United Nations project with Daryl Palumbo (Glassjaw/Head Automatica) in an interview here. Here are the key parts in the interview.

So has everyone all finished their individual parts then?

Well I think they’ve all done them, but they haven’t all sent them to us yet. It’s so hard, collaboration’s so hard. I have a band with Daryl from Glassjaw and it’s just so hard, we just recorded seven songs that I think we’re going to scrap… Just because Thursday wants to use some of the parts for the new record, and also there’s a noise on the recording that we can’t get out - it’s just like kind of ruining it. So… it was hard enough getting me and Daryl to collaborate on anything in the first place as we both have such different schedules, but we’ll see how long it takes to get us back together again.

Going back to the United Nations project with Daryl, is that definitely still going ahead?

We’re trying, I mean I think it will be. The first section’s turned out cool, but like we definitely need to start over. I’m sure next time it’ll go way faster though because like I’ve already got all these songs written and the parts that are being taken for Thursday stuff won’t make that bigger a difference. What we do is we just like, we all have a bunch of ideas and then we put them together in the studio and as soon as we have it together we’re like hit record we’re doing it live right now before we forget it!
