Search - Young Fresh Fellows :: Tiempo De Lujo

''We realize every couple months that after close to thirty years we are still and always will be a band. Still playing the 'live' shows, thinking of ridiculous song titles, and speaking our own language in front of other people who could never quite understand. Amusing each other, which is more important than any of the rest of it? So, sticking to the process that had worked for us all along, and lifted us to the lofty heights which we had scaled, we convened half-heartedly in Kurt's basement with no plan or idea of what, if anything, we hoped to accomplish in the 12 hours we'd made available to each other. Most importantly, we just wanted to hang out, and by hang out, I mean being in the same room together except for the times when personal lives decreed some of us must vacate the premises. As with our last record, the impossible-to-overrate I Think This Is, Kurt managed to record the damn thing and play lead guitar at the same time, without compromising his integrity or ability. We learned the songs on the spot, which we combined with finishing the actual writing of the compositions, played them a couple times, and moved on. No alcohol or drugs were involved with the making of this record. Really, we couldn't be bothered. We had stuff to do. And we did it.''
