I talked to James via phone yesterday, so these are all original quotes. Bands like to line up all their interviews on the same day. And they tend to repeat themselves.
They announced "Kissing The Beehive" as the album title, then found out there was a book with the same name, which potentially meant all sorts of legal problems.
He'll admit that other albums he's done are good or at least "better," but he said there's no point to that. He just makes stuff, and likes making stuff. It doesn't affect him if you (or he) thinks it's bad, and it doesn't affect him if you (or he) thinks it's good. Part of why I like talking to bands while they're recording is to hear how they relate to their recent past work, or how they're working now. Krug's in his own universe.
I agree. I think she's worried about it looking too much like the cover to Hearts & Unicorns, but I like the continuity. And the ridiculously long hair.
