ILM: You can watch your 12 videos that are on your DVD at the same time.
CHRIS: Simultaneously! It's a little trick that most people don't know… if you play all the songs on the album together… it sounds horrible.
ILM: Yeah, don't do that.
CHRIS: No, don't.
ILM: Your famous cover versions feature on Crap Attack - Sigur Ros' 'Hoppipolla', 50s classic 'Be My Baby' and Art Brut's 'Bang Bang Rock & Roll'. Who came up with the idea for those, were you singing them in the shower and then…?
CHRIS: It happens differently for each song. With Art Brut we were going on tour with them in the US for the month of September and in preparation for that we decided to do a split 7" together, so we covered that and they covered Great Escape. Be My Baby is just kind of random I guess. I think we first played that three years ago but we've never been much of covers band. We don't like to play covers live. We only do it when we have to play a really long set and we don't have enough material ourselves. But if we're doing a 40 minute set, we don't ever play a cover. We've probably only done like six covers in our entire history of the band.
