I spent the morning doing interviews with European fanzines and radio for the release of Weasel Mania. This stuff gets pretty boring pretty quick, what with the same stock questions and the same pat answers. It's like a daily encounter with the girl at the coffee shop; the conversation is more or less scripted in advance and to deviate from it shows bad form. But every once in a while somebody throws you for a loop. Like the question I was asked this morning by a writer for an Italian web zine:
"When you re-released the masterpiece My Brain Hurts, you re-mastered it. It was like you ripped my heart out of my body. Why did you do that?"
I mean, how do you answer that?
