Quote: Gibby Haynes and Andrew on intercourse.
In the inaugural issue of Intercourse Magazine, Gibby Haynes, frontman of the legendary Butthole Surfers, shoots the breeze with Andrew VanWyngarden and Benjamin Goldwasser of MGMT.
Gibby: Jesus, so this is the first day of your new record, huh? Do you have any kind of concept in mind? It’s going to be songs, right? Are you ready for a concept record?
Andrew: No…
Gibby: I mean, I’m not implying you’re going to do a country western record. How many songs you got?
Andrew: I have 5. They’re like, based on REM.
Gibby: You’re trying to emulate REM. Man, we lived in Athens for a while, and the guy at the barbecue stand that everyone went to was like, ‘I know you. You’re that - You’re that butthole man! You’re trying to emulate REM!’ [everyone laughs]
