"People talk about ‘honest’ music a lot these days. Well this album is honest. It’s honest without being soppy, it’s witty without being whiney, it’s about girls without being (too) girly. (Bit girly is alright, sometimes). If Herman Hesse ever wrote a song it would have been Talk On Indolence, a perfect combination of dense heady narcissism and light clumsy joviality (with the refrain I’m a little nervous about what you’ll think, when you see me in my swimming trunks). I could replace each name in Pretty Girl From Feltre and have a perfect description of something that happened to me. Distraction 74 could probably describe every event of my life between the ages of 16 and 21… I’m already getting quite sentimental about this album so i might steer away from telling you why each song is so important to me lest this blog turns into a teenage girl’s diary (no offense to any teenage girls who keep diaries out there, I think you are very brave)."

Well this just made my day. I always knew there was a reason Winnie was my favorite.
