The-Shins - Port Of Morrow
Shins Frontman James Mercer Commuted Every Week From His Home City Of Portland To Producer Greg Kurstin's Los Angeles Studio To Record Port Of Morrow. "That Sounds Arduous But It Wasn't Too Bad " Mercer Told Q Magazine. "I Would Nap Read. In Fact One Of The Songs 'No Way Down ' Came About On A Flight. I Was Reading This Article About The American Trade Deficit And The Lyrics Just Came Out Of Me - Which Was Cool As That Song Was Causing A Lot Of Trouble." Despite The Song's Pointed Pro-Occupy Wall Street Protest Sensibility It Actually Predates The Whole Movement. "It's Funny Because That Song Was Written Well Before Any Of That Stuff Started To Happen " Mercer Explained To Spinner. "I Had Read An Article About How There's Been This Long Relationship Between Corporate Business And Labour And Union Power And This Article Was About This Sort Of Crazy Move That Happened Where Basically The Business World Altered That Relationship They Created Legislation Lobbied It Into Existence That Allowed Them To Go Overseas And Do -- What I Consider And I'm Not Super Knowledgeable -- But Working With A Country That Has No Respect For Civil Rights Or Worker Rights Or Anything Like That. You Basically Get To Have Slave Labour Without Being A Slave Owner And You Basically Kill The Relationships You Have With The Labour Force You Have Here. I Don't Know. I Don't Have A Solution For It. But It's A Fascinating Thing To Think About And It Was Good Fodder For That Song.And I Was Reading How Back In The 1800s If Somebody Owned Something " Mercer Continued "and I Don't Know When Corporate Law Changed -- But There Was A Time When If You Were A Business Owner You Were Completely Held Accountable To Everything That Happened. You Didn't Have That Separation. And You Had To Give A S--- Because Your Ass Was On The Line When You Sold Things And You Made Your Millions And How You Made Them And How It Affected Other People. And That Just Doesn't Happen Anymore."

Shins frontman James Mercer commuted every week from his home city of Portland to producer Greg Kurstin's Los Angeles studio to record Port of Morrow. "That sounds arduous but it wasn't too bad," Mercer told Q magazine. "I would nap, read. In fact one of the songs, 'No Way Down,' came about on a flight. I was reading this article about the American trade deficit and the lyrics just came out of me - which was cool as that song was causing a lot of trouble."
Despite the song's pointed pro-Occupy Wall Street protest sensibility, it actually predates the whole movement. "It's funny because that song was written well before any of that stuff started to happen," Mercer explained to Spinner. "I had read an article about how there's been this long relationship between corporate business and labour and union power, and this article was about this sort of crazy move that happened where basically, the business world altered that relationship, they created legislation, lobbied it into existence that allowed them to go overseas, and do -- what I consider, and I'm not super knowledgeable -- but working with a country that has no respect for civil rights or worker rights or anything like that. You basically get to have slave labour without being a slave owner, and you basically kill the relationships you have with the labour force you have here. I don't know. I don't have a solution for it. But it's a fascinating thing to think about and it was good fodder for that song.And I was reading how back in the 1800s if somebody owned something," Mercer continued, "and I don't know when corporate law changed -- but there was a time when if you were a business owner you were completely held accountable to everything that happened. You didn't have that separation. And you had to give a s--- because your ass was on the line when you sold things and you made your millions, and how you made them, and how it affected other people. And that just doesn't happen anymore." Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
