Wavves’ Nathan Williams and Best Coast’s Bethany Cosentino are a big and very important indie rock couple, but they’ve never toured together or done an interview together. Now they’ve accomplished the latter on the night before the former: their first co-headlining tour. And from the start of their interview in The L.A. Times‘s Pop & Hiss blog, you know this one’s a winner:
L.A. Times: So is this your first joint interview?
Nathan Williams: Yeah. Well, we’ve done interviews…
Bethany Cosentino: With joints!
NW: I actually pre-jointed.
I’ve only found pot come up quicker in one other musician’s interview, this Snoop Dog interview for High Times conducted in 1999, so this is impressive. The second half of the interview hasn’t been posted yet, but part 1 has more on their mutual pot/cat obsessions, how they met, and what they think of people who make fun of their relationship.
The pair are also celebrating their first joint tour with a limited, tour-only 7″. You can also get it via iTunes.

I love Best Coast but at one point it’s like, We get it! WEED!

the way they talk about pot is like newbie 8th graders who think they’re badass or something…pretty lame. it’s like shut the fuck up already
I don’t get that vibe at all from them. I don’t see where it can be deduced that they think they’re bad ass for smoking weed. It’s part of their lifestyle, so of course it comes up. Kudos to them for not treating it as taboo and as most people do.
I’d think less of them if they did keep it hush-hush to act bad ass by decidedly not mentioning it, like “Oh, yeah. We smoke, but we don’t TALK about it. We’re too cool for that. Who TALKS about it? Lame.” If you enjoy something or love something, of course you talk about it. At least they’re themselves and they’re real, you know?
