I remember when the dead played Vagas. The jimmied a slot machine on the sound stage to hit jack pots and relayed the sounds it made through synthisizers and wierd crap and twisted it all around durring space to creat some trippy Vegas space effects.
What if they did the same with the cicadas? would the little F#@&ers go ape s#!#?
As long as it's consentual between the cicadas and the artists I don't see any ethical dillemass. How one would go about getting a cicada's consent is beyond me.
That really does sound like a cool idea. I wonder if any of the bands had thought about it, but you're right, The Dead would be the one's to best pull it off.

By "jimmy" the cicada, I'm guessing you mean forcing it to sing, right? When I was a kid, we'd catch 'em and tie a string around one leg, then they'd take off and could only fly in a circle. Seems I remember they'd get pretty vocal at that point. Don't think they were giving consent, though.....

The Dead have in fact already done the bug thing on Blues for Allah and more recently WSP did something like that on a couple of their CDs.... I'm picturing more of a crunch, crunch thing like in that Indiana Jones movie...
