HW: Sonic Boom interview

[Thomas Guy]

I think that the idea of "backfiring" was more the surprise of it's success
than anything else
- double negative sort of meaning - dunno?????

                Having a #3 single, which subsequently funded the space
Ritual tour, which
                turned out to produce their highest selling album, is a
curious definition
                of backfiring.
