SM: It's easy to be negatively funny about personalities in the media. It's just kind of a cheap laugh. There's really not much to say. I've kind of said everything. [Laughs.] I've done a lot of interviews and there's not... I mean, you'll get some good stuff here, but the funnier stuff or the more revealing stuff is not so much in the questions, but in the side things.

O: But you would do it in your lyrics, back in the Pavement days.

SM: I know, like Smashing Pumpkins. But that was not really... That got blown out of... That was... Yeah. That's a lark, you know? I really couldn't care less. I mean, if I really cared, I wouldn't say it. I'd just be stewing. I never lost sleep over the merits of the Pumpkins or Stone Temple Pilots. Actually, surprisingly, both bands have some good songs. [Laughs.] And then Billy Corgan went and hijacked all these indie-rock superstars for Zwan.

O: Mary Star Of The Sea is actually a pretty good record.

SM: I've heard some of it on a listening post. Those are so unfair to records. It makes everything sound the same, kind of. And maybe it is kind of samey, sonically, the Zwan record. But when you listen to it on a listening post, it's just like [makes guitar sound] "Bwaaang!" Another thick song. "Bwaaang!" Another thick song. I don't know. I'd like to hear it again. I like the single. [Sings in a whisper.] "Honestleee..."
