Hopefully he won’t mind, but I found his e-mail re: NPR’s All Songs Considered podcast (which includes a clip of the new Mouse song) hilarious:
Thanks for sending that - that's a great podcast. Here's my stream of comments on that podcast. The new Clap your Hands sounds great. Holy crap - Marr really is part of the band/songwriting. I could probably only be this discombobulated if Danny White started quarterbacking/punting for the horned frogs. I'm on a mailing list of The Mother Truckers which just moved from San Raphael to Austin. The recent one had a picture with Lucinda Williams who looked like she was dressed up as Courtney Love for Halloween. She sounds a little like that too. That song also sounds like she writes her songs like I write my emails.
