Spooner/Fire Town era

[shoop]

First of all, I can't overstate how much I love Garbage. Every second of every track you've done (including/especially b-sides) always has something interesting and inspiring going on. However I'd like to see if you have any interesting stories/insights from the recording of the Spooner and Fire Town albums - I've heard the recording of 'The Good Life' was wildly different from recording the first Fire Town record... and how close was the overlap between the final Spooner sessions and the beginning of Garbage/etc.? Was there a lot of 'changing gears' so to speak for you and Duke between such different (albeit both 'pop-centered') projects?
