"There's a lot of personality to this album. A lot of really funny, sly lyrics. Slyly dirty lyrics. I didn't know Prince Buster whatsoever but a guy I did an interview with in Australia gave me a CDR, it was back when you shared CDRs, and this CDR had a bunch of albums on it, including the first Deerhunter record I ever heard and then this album. I kind of didn't think that any of this music would be good but I imported it anyway and I just started listening and then slowly every now and then something would reveal itself and this was one of the two that really had a huge impact. It's a fun and funny record. It's not heavy but it's very cool. "

"Rushmore. That must come up a lot. But it’s funny, and I know that the movie Harold and Maude is probably a big influence on that; but I hadn’t seen that when I saw Rushmore. I hadn’t seen anything like it. It’s really funny. I think Wes Anderson is really hilarious and most people don’t notice, because of the style of the film. Grand Budapest Hotel, to me, was the funniest film of the year, but people saw it as an art film. I think I related to Max as well, because I grew up poor like he did, and when I went to University I did feel like I was kind of pretending of fitting in this world. I related to Max."
