| For the first time we've put together
an album of songs that took shape on the road. This doesn't mean they are flat like
sail-bunnies or white boogie. These are fat round songs. Some are clumsey, like they have
magnets buried inside off-center; some have lots of little spikes sticking out all over,
but these might be bluffing. The best songs are shaped sort of like boobs. "The
Floe" has a pentatonic mammarian structure. "Whirling Dervish"
started as a musical dickaround with a '30's song which Daffy Duck sings in old cartoons.
The words came out from under a bridge in Cincinnati. "Diesel Man" was
a bum in Denver, "The Floe" is a frozen lake in Sweden, and "5" is a sack full of Christmas joy
from Moscow. "Yoo Doo Right" and "The Napkin Song"
we played live before we knew how. "The Ghost" popped out of a bottle
of vermouth in Groenigen. "Americana" could be anywhere. "Hidden
Lands" is from getting home again. We included the usual number of mistakes to
let out the evil spirits. Enjoy.
