Brian, Mike, Bruce interviewed, with the writer's impressions of the new album. Brian says "Shelter" and "Bill And Sue" were the only songs written specifically for the new album, and stays mum about what will happen after the tour. Bruce makes his Tony Bennett joke.

The author of the article draws a somewhat unexpected comparison between Bruce and the Wondermints, and he thinks (or maybe is echoing Mike) that BWPS is "lackluster."  In some quarters that record don't get no respect....VDP has referred to it as "adequate" in interviews, and Nonesuch, if Amazon is any indication, has let it go out of print in the US. Me, I think BWPS is grrreaat.
