| Grant Lee Buffalo – Fuzzy Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
"It was a pretty exciting time. You're taken off guard as a young band. You don't know what all of it means to find your record on the shelf and your band name on a marquee. You're met with all sorts of new characters in your cast of relations, and a good many of them are there for the opportunity that your art/product represents. The naive parts of me thought, wow, there sure are a lot of new nice people around! Some of them have proved to be genuine, but it was a learning lesson. There was so much pressure to make it great. Then there was the question in the back of your head: Will this be the last as well as the first? In some ways, that accounts for the urgency on the album, and it also accounts for whatever's misdirected on it. But I think it's a pretty solid record." Source: EliotWilder.com, 2001 "The lyrics are full of sexual imagery. I've been told by more than one woman that Fuzzy happens to be the record of choice when it comes to finding a nice background to, well, you know... These songs have to entertain me and bear repetition. Talking about it is the worst thing of all - I could probably point out things in there that would destroy me, and obviously I won't, but the less vulnerable I choose to make myself, the harder it is to write. To dig it all up, to scrape it like a surgeon leaves me feeling like a gold mine that's been stripped and is just a hole." Source: Let's Go To Work, Q Magazine, ca. 1994 |

| Grant Lee Buffalo – Mighty Joe Moon Lyrics | 8 years ago |
| "There was a fella named Joe Moon who was this wild renegade truck driver who was hanging around the studio when we were recording in San Francisco Back in 1992, and he used to hang around and tell us stories. He would collect all of Paul's bass strings and all my guitar strings and then tell us what songs those strings were written on. He was very detail-oriented. A real character. So we sorta called him Mighty Joe Moon, 'cause his name was Joe Moon. He was a sorta product of the sixties when folks had such great names like Moon and Sun and Sunflower. And that's definitely where the name came from. The character is larger than that though. The character is mostly an embodiment of so much else and mostly a figment of my imagination."
