My favorite thing about TANGO is how well Lindsey and Christine worked together on that record, so this is fascinating to me. Can you provide links to interviews or articles where she talked about writing those two songs?

I've never heard of this "limo conversation." Was it from a documentary? Regardless, I wish Stevie hadn't made such comments. They make her sound petty.

It's no secret that I'm more of a Lindsey fan, but I absolutely believe that the individual contributions from the different members are what make a band's magic work.
With SAY YOU WILL, I have to say that I enjoy "Thrown Down" and the title track as much as I like any of Lindsey's songs from that record. What was Stevie's issue with Lindsey's production on "Thrown Down?" I love that song, and I love Lindsey's production of it. Has Stevie's demo been released, so that we can compare the song before and after?
Ooops. I just realized I'm pushing us further away from the original subject. Sorry about that.
For the record, if having Christine play/sing on the EP would push its release back even more, then I respectfully hope that she's not involved. The band is getting some tour-based press coverage, and they need to get the new songs out there to capitalize on the news stories/reviews.
BUT...! If things go well and Christine ends up playing on new recordings, I'd have no problem with her being added to "Sad Angel" and the other EP songs if some of them are included in an eventual FM album.
