I do think it makes them feel more vital than sitting in a recording studio for 18-24 months does.

Well, I did say "from the ground up."

But, either way, I still disagree with the idea that Stevie & Lindsey have nothing left to offer as a duo. You might be bored by all of the "are they/aren't they" stuff, and I'm not into any of that either, but I do think those two make magic together... even when it's not exactly "organic."
The love/hate relationship between them creates an exquisite tension in the music they create together.

Hmm... that's one way to keep you from procreating!

I miss Christine and yet I don't miss Christine.
I feel there are collaborative areas that Stevie & Lindsey still haven't tapped, and I'd like to see those explored before Christine re-enters the picture and that aspect becomes distilled by a third once again.
