I don't think that has anything to do with what he wants for FM or for himself.

As for the EP, I think he was trying to write something that would appeal to Stevie and make her want to sing it. I don't know that that's what he would have chosen for himself at all -- especially not with Christine back to fill the pop void that some may have felt FM had. I like Miss Fantasy and Sad Angel just fine and wouldn't be ashamed to have other songs like that from Lindsey, but certainly no more than 1 or 2.

Lindsey doesn't even like his own shallow stuff (i.e. Did You Miss Me). I hardly think that's what he is aiming for for FM.

yes to this. LB didn't produce This is 40, as quick google search would tell anyone who may have been clueless.

i can't stand Did You Miss Me. i would hate it if he made more songs like that, while i loved listening to Sad Angel and Miss Fantasy - miles more interesting songs.

production on WY has nothing in common with SA and MF. i think SA and MF are Froom-Buckingham co-productions (i should do that quick google search myself, i guess ). and ITT was obviously thrown on that EP in haste, while still half-finished.
