These formulaic, always-the-same-questions interviews can be really frustrating. Aside from the generic questions, the interviewee gives their answer and no matter what they say there's no follow-up. In a proper interview, they'd have asked Derek a whole lot more about them having passed on Refused's album, instead of moving on after giving it only a brief mention. Same goes with the all-digital switch. Have him elaborate on these things. 3+ Replies

"Most people don’t know that we were asked to release Refused’s “The Shape of Punk To Come”, dragged our feet, then missed the boat."
That's what happens at "collectives". Nobody takes charge, they just sit around for the pot to arrive. Not really, but ya know...it adds insult to injury that they could have had one of the best albums of last decade in their catalogue.
