thanks to all of you who wrote in so quickly (in a matter of hours!) with thoughtful and articulate suggestions on which song(s) we ought to cover on saturday. A few of the suggestions were creepily accurate to what we were already chatting about in the privacy of our own burgundy van. To you people we say "mind your own business". For everybody else though we do say thanks and a few of the suggestions (you know who you are) will probably work their way into a live show here and there soon, even if we can't do them all saturday.
(Talking emails) Often we get folks writing and asking “how/where did you write this or that song, what were you listening to (or not listening to), while writing it, etc.” As our record release is coming up, and we’re playing the entire album (a couple of smoking tracks at a time) on our myspace page, we’re going to try and tell the circumstances under which some of our songs were written via this blog.
For starters: as a general rule, all songs were written with all of us wearing berets, non-stop, just like all French people do. Apart from that, the stories get more individual. Keep a look out, and we'll post these things as we can remember them. Happy Easter, by the way, to all the people. And last things last - that song "Back 4 Good" by Take That. Delicious.
