Rivers Cuomo: 'New Weezer single is designed to annoy our label' (NME)
MS: Cuomo told Rolling Stone that he was ordered to write catchier songs, so wrote 'Pork And Beans' – a song with a deliberately inane theme.
"I came out of it pretty angry," Cuomo said of the meeting with the label. "But ironically, it inspired me to write another song."
Yorke: Radiohead's 'Rainbows' Strategy Was A 'One-Off' (Billboard)
MS: "Yes. It was a one-off in terms of a story. It was one of those things where we were in the position of everyone asking us what we were going to do. I don't think it would have the same significance now anyway, if we chose to give something away again. It was a moment in time."
Five questions with Jamie Hince, guitarist for rock duo the Kills (Freep.com)
MS: Whatever it is people call it -- a chemistry, electricity, voodoo, whatever -- that there is between two people, that there is (more) between me and Alison. I just appreciate that's what's precious about the band. We're not trying to be virtuoso musicians. We don't have any ambitions to be great songwriters. I know what's precious to us, and it's that chemistry between us. Obviously in its purest form, it's just us two and a drum machine, and it seemed that was the best way to do it on this record as well.
