“This is an album of greasy love songs & cretin simplicity. We made it because we* really like this kind of music (just a bunch of old men with rock & roll clothes on sitting around the studio mumbling about the good old days**). Ten years from now you'll be sitting around with your friends some place doing the same thing if there's anything left to sit on.”

*Royal / **Now / ***drums, piano, bass
