Marki. Posted March 7, 2010 Posted March 7, 2010 Thanks so much! =) It's really interesting interview, I think it was definitely hard time for them...
Hermione Posted March 7, 2010 Posted March 7, 2010 Anyone know what Mike was on about when he talked about how John Kiffmeyer allowed something to be written on the 39/Smooth booklet/sleeve without him and Billie knowing, that they weren't happy about? Something that Billie and Mike didn't agree with that pigeon-holed the band. I assume it was some anti-major label statement or something like that, but I'd be interested to know what it was that was written on there. Does anyone know?

It's many years since I read it and my copy is in a loft at the other end of the country (along with original 1000 hours and slappy e.p's on vinyl) but very roughly on the 39/Smooth inlay was printed a letter to lookout expressing interest in the band from some label - can't remember which one - and then below it a reply from John saying something along the lines of 'you wish you could get your hands on a band as cool as green day for your washed up label - it's not going to happen' - something like that - and I can't remember what else...

Wow I wasn't expecting to get an answer, thanks very much for the info. LOL no wonder Mike and Billie were annoyed about that. What a bloody liberty!
