TLASILA Album Flood: An Interview with the Mitchell Brothers
Oh my, another moldy chestnut from our first decade... Chuck your crap-ass share rips, devour these fetid morsels, and cough up a blood-flecked essay on this topic:
"Why Doesn't Trevor Wishart Ever Have Anything Good to Say About Winger?"
Say, 2,000 words?

As some of you may be aware, we dashed out Mitchell Brothers in a day on a dare from Ned Hayden, the erstwhile Action Swinger and Audible Hiss (the short-lived, Caroline-distributed imprint) COO. Hayden thought our recordings a trifle mediated, so he threw down an ill-fitting, provocatively rust-dappled gauntlet:
"Write, record, mix, and master an album in an afternoon, and I'll release it."
Oops... Wish we hadn't taken the bait. Not dire, but five-sixteenths malodorous. (It was a little rushed.)
Our forthcoming Savage Land release - Les Tricoteuses - provides an opposing perspective.

Syd Garon's design for the Mitchell Brothers digipak featured a cover inset photo of the titular siblings, and stills derived from the films referenced in the album's song titles. Caroline's lawyers flipped when they saw the artwork, and demanded we make changes. A compromise design was assembled and accepted; Syd's original version (from an old, low-res scan) can be seen below. Apologies for the poor quality of the image.

Next up? Tonal Harmony.

And not to complain, but rapidshare kind of sucks, with their "you have to wait an hour between downloads, unless you want to pay for free music" policy. I think rapidshare.com or easy-share.com are much nicer, you get a few ads, but they are faster, and there aren't any delays.
(I'll look into Easy-Share.)
