Michael Krumper | Mrs. Robinson | Angelina Jolie
Guitar Hero

1 The simplest songs are
best, if you can find them.
"I made the demos at home on a four-track on
cassette," Dando says. "The demos are just a few tracks of me
singing and playing the song twice. That was about as advanced as I
could get on a four-track at the time. It's just a guitar and
vocals. It's nice. "I was going crazy looking for them. Michael
Krumper, who works at Razor & Tie now - he used to work at
Atlantic [the Lemonheads' label] - had them. And thank God he had
them, because now we've got a DVD, nine previously unreleased
songs, and the record. It's very exciting. It just brings the album
to people's attention one more time."
2 If Dando had to
do Ray all over again, he might
have hidden the hit "Mrs. Robinson" in a hiding place where no one
ever goes.
"I wouldn't have put 'Mrs. Robinson' on the album,"
Dando says. "But I can't really complain about it at this point. It
really did help get us exposure. Luckily, people ventured further
and heard the other stuff."
3 He didn't find Angelina
Jolie's famous lips to be all that memorable.
