Yeah, there are millions of songwriters in the world, but there are not that many good ones. Don't you realise that AMC are the most critically acclaimed band in the world? That you've never had a bad review?

"Oh, we have,'' Eitzel says. "Sure we have. There was a review in an American paper a couple of years ago. It said: 'Eitzel bellows like a bull.' We've had bad reviews.''

It is at this point that you realise Eitzel's reputation as the most self-deprecating man on the face of the globe is not exactly unwarranted. We change the subject. The new album, ''[[San Francisco]]'', is much more commercial than its predecessors. The usual, slow-moving displays of wounded affection are as potent as before, but are not quite as, well, depressing. Now the emotion seems to be one of gentle melancholy.

"Yeah, I guess touring with Pearl Jam had a big effect on us,'' Eitzel says. "Just watching a band like that night after night gives you an idea of how to make an emotion less cloying, or suffocating, but still as intense. I learnt a lot from them.''

One hopes that Eitzel will also learn from Pearl Jam how to live with millions in the bank, and MTV willing to have his babies. AMC have been obscure for too long. It is time for them to become obscenely famous.
