Here's Mitch Easter from the notes to the Every Dog reissue: "I thought the next record of my songs [after EDHHD] would come out right away. I wrote a bunch of stuff...but then I started getting the feeling that nobody wanted to hear it. The rock scene was nothing like it had been...when we started, so it was hard for me to tell what anything meant. I felt like I was forever going to be called pop fluff no matter what I did..." Substitute "intellectual, abstruse, post-Chiltonian power pop" or something for "pop fluff"... But hey, Easter's writing and releasing new stuff now, so maybe there's hope yet...maybe in 15 years...? np: v/a _Every Word: A Tribute to Let's Active_ - ------------------------------- ...Jeff J e f f r e y N o r m a n The Architectural Dance Society http://spanghew.blogspot.com/ :: Solipsism is its own reward :: :: --Crow T.
