Huge thanks to the music journalists for keeping me blissfully unaware that this album was released in 2011.
AVC: You have some Scott Stapp story about that, right?
David Cross: I think that’s on the first CD. In fact, I know it is. Was it the first CD? Maybe the second. No, it was the first one. I don’t know if I told this on the CD, but I went down to the suite they had in the casino for hair and makeup, and I went and grabbed some coffee, waited in a chair. And they were talking about somebody who had just been in there, saying, “What a prick, what an asshole! Who does he think he is?” And that’s how I found out that it was Scott Stapp. When I went down there, I was like, “Oh, jeez, I’m gonna have to get this out of the way. We’re about to sit and stare at each other for an hour.” And I had no idea if he knew about some of the shit I’d said about him. I had no idea if that had ever made it to his ears. So we all kinda meet and they’re going over the rules, and he’s across the table from me. Small poker table. And I lean my hand in when I went to shake his hand and I said, “Hey, Scott. David Cross,” and he shook my hand and he pulled me into him and half-whispered, “Thanks for the words,” and I went, “Well, you know.” That answered my question— he clearly knew who I was. Or at least what I’d said. “Thanks for the words.”
AVC: But then it wasn’t an uncomfortable game? And you won, right?
David Cross: I think I knocked him out, too. And I almost said, “This is for every artist on Matador.” I was gonna say that when I put my hand down. But then I was like, “What if I can’t beat him? That would be awkward.” But now in hindsight I regret not saying that.
Last year, Brownstein started a new band, Wild Flag, with the drummer from Sleater-Kinney, Janet Weiss, and two other indie-rock eminences, Mary Timony and Rebecca Cole. The group’s first album, released in September, has been widely praised; Rolling Stone said that Wild Flag “makes other bands sound like sniffly rookies.” Urban Outfitters sells the record, on vinyl.

Lou Reed: Is that a drumroll?
Lars Ulrich: It’s just, uhm, I have to pee.
Lou Reed: At least you were honest.
Totally 90’s: “Dr. Death” Steve Williams (you know, one of the real-life toughest wrestlers ever) vs. Jerry Only (you know, uh, the bassist of the Misfits) in a steel cage. At one point the rest of the Misfits run in and attack Dr. Death’s manager with a squeeze bottle of barbecue sauce.
I mean, it beats a murdergram at least.
