I ain’t gonna lie: Getting to interview Mark Arm of Mudhoney for PAPER was a pretty big thrill. My high school garage band, Mall Security, was basically a terrible Mudhoney cover band. You can check out the interview here.
And here’s a bonus Mudhoney anecdote for you: When I was 16, me and the Mall Security dudes went to see Mudhoney play at the Cactus Club in San Jose. Before the show, we were playing foosball and Matt Lukin, Mudhoney’s bass player, walked up to the table with a beer in hand. He proceeded to shove napkins in both the goals and grunted, “Unlimited play.” Then he walked away. It was maybe the coolest thing I’ve ever seen.
