...there’s always been a lot of music in this band—in fact we should make more albums. 11 or 12 in a 40 year career seems a bit slack.
Can't help but agree. There should've been an album around '89 (follow-up to 'Anything'), maybe one in '92 (reunion line-up), plus some more between 1998 and 2018 ("only" 3 albums in that period).
Oh well, we took what we could get.

But listen in to conversations backstage at punk festivals these days and you’re more likely to hear tales of recent hospital treatment and the like than some fabulous party they just attended. While that’s a bit of a downer I must admit I find it extremely funny...

I sat next to a university lecturer on a flight back from Australia once. He specialized in animals and amongst the incredible stuff about spiders and bats we discussed the phenomenon of whales and dolphins prostrating themselves on beaches around the world. “All the articles I’ve ever read” I told him “claim there is no consensus as to why they do it. It could be this reason, or that reason—it’s all just guesswork”.
On the contrary my new zoologist chum informed me “we’ve known the cause for many years” and proceeded to tell me all about the ‘sonar deceit.’ All of which inspired our song of that very name – which is also the first Damned tune to have a Motown beat. And about time too!
