Moe Berg
Morris "Moe" Berg, was an American catcher and coach in Major League Baseball who later served as a spy for the Office of Strategic Services during World War II. Although he played 15 seasons in the major leagues, almost entirely for four American League teams, Berg was never more than an average player, usually used as a backup catcher, and was better known for being "the brainiest guy in baseball" than for anything he accomplished in the game.

Basically, I've been wandering around without an advocate for a really long time and I think that's a lot of the reason why things haven't happened that probably would have happened. I just needed someone to present opportunities and work out the deals for me.
For us, we let the circumstances dictate what will happen with us. We're more inclined to let whatever demand there is for something manifest itself before we push our own agenda on the world. We didn't come up with the idea of recording new songs. It was (Jake) who suggested it and we went along with it, so I guess it would depend on what kind of influence we got from outside whether we would actually go and do more songs or not.
I think this one has a few more songs, but this one is a little bit more heavily weighted on material that is already available, whereas the Razor & Tie record has a fair amount of unreleased material on it,
I was very impressed with how everyone played and how seriously everybody took it. Everyone behaved the way they behaved when we used to make records back in the day.
I knew everybody would be into a best of, and then in terms of getting into the studio and recording and possibly playing some shows, that was a conversation I had to have.
If there's a real demand for it, then theoretically we'll be able to travel in a certain degree of comfort. We're not going to rent a jet or anything like that, but it will be somewhere between renting a jet and all piling into a van with our gear and a crew guy and sleeping in the McDonald's parking lot (laughs). Ralph is technically still our agent. As far as I know, the initial inquiries have already been made, so the idea of a Pursuit Of Happiness tour is floating around amongst club owners.
