The CTT mixed single by The Wolfmen, “July 20”, is also out today.  Here is a little interview on the Wolfmen site with Court about working with the Wolfment, interior spaces, and birthdays.

What vibe were after with the July 20 remixes – one with Jacob and the other with Jeremy – were there any influences or source material you used for reference?
With Jake we referenced “Never Met a Girl Like You Before” by that cat from Orange Juice. With Jeremy we referenced that Stranglers tune with the harpsichord (Golden Brown) that got so big again a few years back. Ultimately though, once ya get into a mix it doesn’t really help listening to anything else. We only listen for fun at the beginning. Once you start a mix in earnest you’re on your own.

Will you be producing/remixing any other Wolfmen tunes
Oh I’m sure I probably will. They know they can count on me and my guys to churn out cool stuff and since I don’t have to pay for studio time at the Odditorium it saves them a lot of heartache as well as money.

July 20 is a birthday shared by you and Chris – are you typical Cancerians
Yeah I think we are. I know that I am fer sure. Very homebody. I’m obsessive about my interiors and they are not only spectacular but ergonomically borderline genius. They have to be, what with me having such a low tolerance for wasted time/space/energy. Another cliché’ is being hard, cold and business-like on the outside but a Mr. Snugglycuddlyman on the inside. That pretty much describes my days to a T.

What’s been your wildest or most memorable birthday
Oh I really think that more amazing than all the sex drugs rock n roll birthdays that I can’t quite remember was the fifty foot slip-n-slide on the hill behind my house for my birthday last year. All the booze and chemicals and partying in the world, all the drunk driving and sad lonely endings only happened because there wasn’t a fifty footer in the back yard.

Are there any plans for a Dandy Wolfmen team-up? What cover would you use as an ice-breaker at a both band-jam
An icebreaker jam has to just sort of “happen” but if I were to script it into the
movie I’d have it be “Suffragette City”(sp) or “Bela Lugosi’s Dead”.

Have you managed to see any gems from Marco’s legendary guitar collection.
Nope. Not seen Marco’s guitars.
