It makes sense that the new album from The Lemonheads sounds like a mix
tape slipped to you by a music-obsessed friend anxious to turn you on
to something new. In fact, the idea for the band’s new covers record
was inspired by Gibby Haynes, ringmaster of the Butthole Surfers, who
for years has made mixes for his longtime friend Evan Dando. “Making a
good mix is an art, and Gibby has it down,” says Dando. “I thought it
would be fun to share these songs with other people like he shared them
with me. So I picked the ‘greatest hits’ from his mixes and covered
them, along with a few other songs I always wanted to play.”
