    excerpt:
     " Wind-up’s focused a lot on radio, and we want to do more of a touring thing so that we can play for more people. I think that’s important. Radio is a funny thing. We haven’t had a big hit single or anything, but we’ve gotten a lot of airplay. I just want to put out good music, though. I mean, obviously I want to sell a million albums, but it has to be stuff that I’m comfortable with. I’d say that it would be nice to release four singles – "Sorry," "Twisted," "Shoes," and "Free." "

   "This guy goes into a second hand car dealers looking for a new car, he sees a salesman and asks him for some advice. 'Certainly Sir' the salesman answers. 'Have a look at this 1988 mini, only 70,000 miles on the clock, a bargain at 500 pounds'. The guy looks at the car and replies, 'Yes, but I would like something a bit better.' The salesman answers 'Ok, have a look at this 1990 Ford Escort, 50,000 miles on the clock and only 1000 pounds'. The guy still isn't satisfied and says ' That's ok, but haven't you anything more classy'. The salesman leads the guy to the far corner of the dealership where there is an old 1981 Austin Princess. 'Have a look at this beauty, 100,000 miles and a gift at only 4000 pounds'. '4000 pounds?' replies the guy 'but the other two cars were lots better'. 'Ahh, didn't you know' says the salesman 'you can find parts of a Princess in a Mercedes!'"
