Also discussed: Radio Shack ("Sometimes, we would put one Radio Shack mic on the drums and we would keep that take"), Robert Pollard, what it's like when brothers fight ("Sometimes our practices are more like scenes out of Some Kind Of Monster"), Southern girls, the state of Tennessee ("Tennessee is a beautiful place but there are lots of Republicans and Wal-Marts"), an awesome Abbey Road homage, and a certain bedroom in West Queen Anne where U.S.E. have also recorded. The interview's accompanied by three free mp3s (recommended: "Girls and Uniforms") off the Quiet Ones' forthcoming album.
