McSweeney's as a publishing company is built on a business model that only works when we sell physical books. So we try to put a lot of effort into the design and production of the book-as-object.
We became friends as we became a band. Our friendship evolved as the band evolved. It had its ups and downs but it was mostly ups for the four of us. We got along well almost all of the time. Hey! We liked each other and we still do.
