"Some people want to go to their corner bar and sing along to stuff they're hearing on the radio. It's like a mixtape. Especially nowadays, because you can't listen to a record anymore. You're lucky if there are two good songs. In some ways, we're our own mixtape. When we ended up making records, that was our goal, to make a really great record that you could listen to start to finish. 'Cause to us, there's no filler."
Despite the long-elapsed epoch of the source material, there's no lazy nostalgia, either. And don't even think about Sublime covers.
