Here is a fascinating interview in which his answers are miles more interesting than my questions. SP: The Blue Fox is a short book, with the words used sparingly on the page.

Laid-back but utterly funky, it's an ... Last week I wrote about the debut album from The Avalanches, “Since I Left You”. This post is just a continuation of where I stopped. So it’s going to feel shorter. So to make up for it, I’m doing 4 songs instead of three. On a personal note, my Vinyl copy of this album arrived last week.
