Y'all must have missed their recent little interview
in XLR8R - they talk about just having fun and making
music and playing around with all the people who try
to find meaning in stuff.
but MOST IMPORTANTLY: (damn, did I just use allcaps?)
They say that they are A) not talented and B) Not for
Threes, Rest Proof Clockwork, and Double Figure formed
as far as they are concerned a trilogy of albums in
that they all were playing on the same type of music.
It's almost like they're saying, yeah, we know they're
each similar in sound, that's what we do.
They also say that whatever they do next will be
radically different. Whether that's true or not, I
don't know or care.
