| | In Minneapolis, on the last date of a tour with Tripping Daisy and UFOFU, we get the call that after only six months, Island is going to stop working our record. We'd gotten some spins at Q101 with Mayonnaise And Malaise, but not much else. The record is dead. The upside is that they want us to make another record (ahhh, the good old days of artist development!), so we go to Andy Gerber's home studio to record some demos. We don't have a lot, but what we have is pretty good: a song about assholes in the pit called High-Fiving Motherfucker, Nothing Special, Lovey Dovey, No Problem, Freeze Dried (F)lies (named after the hibernating flies in the windowsill of Scott's tiny Zion apartment) and a perky tune called Bound For The Floor. Built on a chord shape lifted from Andy Summers and featuring a word borrowed from Velocity Girl, this early version of Bound isn't quite there yet. It needs some tightening, and Joe Bosso, the consummate A&R man and an invaluable editor, will suggest losing the bridge. But the riff is there and the hook is hammered home like a sonofabitch. Can't say that we had any idea that it would be our meal ticket, though. |
