In hindsight, we needed more. “19th Street Murder” or such would’ve been more attention getting. Our “look” was low-rent pop. To fit the reputation we needed to be edgier. I was edging toward this by 2004 or so with one of my own small projects,. No longer completely “pop,” but requiring more edge. I think about this often. Posted by Karl Wenclas.
