When You Get A Groove Going, Time

I'm Starting To Get Older, And Began To Think About Mortality A Little More. My Mother Died In 2003 And That Was A Big Shock. When Your Parents Start To Die Off, That's Going To Be A Revelation. So For Me, This Album - Although It Might Sound Quite Cheery - Is Really Talking About Death.

We Don't Think Of Ourselves As Being Perfectionists, Really. To Us It's More About Desperately Trying To Have It Sound More Or Less Ok.

It's Great To Know That Our Old Stuff Still Sounds Good To Our Fans, Just As It's Wonderful To Think That We've Turned A Few People On To Jazz Over The Years.

I Tried To Grow Up. Honest. Didn’t Quite Happen. I Guess I’m Someone For Whom Youth Still Seems More Real Than The Present, Or The Half Century In Between. And Why Not? I'm Deeply Underwhelmed By Most Contemporary Art, Literature, Music, Films, Tv, The Heinous Little Phones, Money Talk, Real Estate Talk, All That Stuff. The Internet, Which At First Seemed So Fascinating, Appears To Be Evolving Into Something Even Worse Than Tv, But We'll See.

Anthemic Rock Music Is Inherently Fascist - Anything Intended To Move Huge Masses Of People Is Politically Offensive To Me.
