well, sy wanted to change their name to 'washing machine' around that time, allegedly to 'cleanse' themselves or the music scene or blah blah. i don't actually remember how much of that was serious and how much was silly rock joke ha ha.
i wonder if pavement's late '94 'wowee zowee' sessions @ easley made SY consider it for washing machine. could be?
definitely a twisted blues feel to some tunes, lee's licks on 'no queen' and the title track are pretty fierce.
in general i doubt there was a universal theme to the record...becuz is "about a girl i saw once" (kim saw a girl holding her boyfriend's hand and wanted to write a song that would empower her). junkie's promise is fairly straightforward. saucer-like seems like some type of new york thing but i don't know...washing machine is anyone's guess, i've heard kim introduce it many different ways at various shows..unwind...trouble girl...panty lies...i think they're all very different themes......
i'd always heard lee was the inspiration for 'diamond sea' lyrics, but could be waaaay off on that (ie: he wrote em, or contributed to em)
GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT RECORD.
