Reggie Watts and James Murphy talking collaboration on a 7” single
“James and I might be doing a single sometime soon,” Watts, the anarchic, musically inclined stand-up comedian, explained. “It’s still 60 percent loose, but he seems down to do it and I think it would be fun to work with him. That would be great.” Yes it would! And when might this collaboration come to light? “I think it’s going to be a seven-inch single with a remix on the other side. I would be the vocals and we would probably be doing some kind of a cover. I’m going to guess sometime next year, early next year, or maybe — he’s a fast dude! Maybe he’ll turn one around.”
