First up - Dog's Flag. One of Richie's sayings - it came off the back of us doing a give away 7 inch on the tour with groop dogdrill, i think - that was called 'wolf table' after a mad piece of art that was a table with a stuffed wolf's head and tail nailed to it that we thought was hilarious. So we just carried on the silly combination of animal+object=art I think. I seem to remember Horse Fez was another favourite.
As for getting back together...it was Matt who went a bit floppy on us because his work schedule was so mental, he just couldn't see how to fit it in and because he's freelance, if he don't work, he don't eat to paraphrase James Brown. As for the legal $hit, we were technically able to perform together again as cable after october 2000, when the contract that had us snared was due to expire. Basically, about 18 months after the original split.
