-DZ: We've been doing all sorts of crazy things. We started recording the new record and it's sort of blossomed into the next five records. We don't know the title yet for sure because we've recorded mostly only the music and we haven't done most of the vocals, so we don't know which song has taken control over our life so much. Lately the phrase that's in control is 'Put the phantasm ball up yer ass'. I don't know why. It's been very inspiring for us. We recorded about twenty-nine songs and then I went to Japan for three months and toured with this Japanese guy who's like the equivalent of the Japanese Mick Jagger meets [[wikipedia:Michael Jackson|Michael Jackson]]. His name is Eikichi Yazawa. He's the most popular Japanese entertainer, has been for twenty years, and he is so funny and cool. His music is sort of like the [[wikipedia:Rolling Stones|Rolling Stones]] a little, but he does weird sort of pseudo-jazz things where you envision him sitting on stage at a little cafe with a Cinzano; he just sits there and wears a suit. He's famous for having beach towels.
