Just kidding, I know Come was recorded long after 1998.

She loved Not That Funny in concert. She could do a quarter gram and half bottle of tequila backstage before heading back

Her answers are so nonsensical that she could say her fave Lindsey song is the one that says Packing up, shacking up is all you want to do...

It fits beautifully on side 2 where it is. Great track.

Chris's organ through the song is mind blowing.

It’s the only Christine track I can think of offhand with an acoustic piano, a B3, and an electric part (played I think on a moog). It was quite an inspired but strange idea to use the acoustic piano just for one note, placed for texture and emphasis, like the tolling of a bell.

I guess YMLF also has three prominent keyboard parts: a hammond, a rhodes, and a clavinet. But most of her songs only have one or two prominent instruments.

Stevie: Um. Christine. My favorite song of Christine's is a song called "Oh Daddy". That was written about Mick, when he was going through his divorce with his children and everything, and it was very, kind of a sad, sad time, you know. And that song to me is very Chinese-Tibetan... You know. It has all that ah, kind of mystic thing.

That’s Stevie’s way of saying that she likes the dorian mode (from D to D on all white notes on the piano), plus all the cool instrumentation, with nice percussion, harmonics on the guitar, and the wandering moog line (similar to Crystal).

I remember Christine saying she was playing a Moog on Crystal and the unit wasn't hers. And the owner was twisting the knobs whilst she played it.

I don’t think it was a moog. I believe she said it was a cathedral organ (I could be wrong) and the man in charge of its maintenance was so in love with it she wouldn’t be surprised if he slept with it. Typical Christine humor. She also said, they recorded her playing hours of music on it and then spliced what they needed from that.

I have always thought it was an organ, and not a synth.

The way my brain is working these days, I honestly would have to go back and read it. I remember the "slept with it" part.
