DX: I took the same kind of interest because he is the first big indy artist in a long time to make the jump.
Slug: Dude, he’s such a stubborn individual that its beautiful. We get to watch a stubborn individual go at it with a major label and see him make the best of it. I really do think this will set some precedence for other independent acts to fuck with majors or not. To make majors a little more safe again. You know what I’m saying? 'Cause we all had heroes from the mid to late '90s who were able to finagle a deal with a major and not a damn one of them have done anything to help those following them. They all start to throw the weird little R&B choruses in their songs and they all start to play the game. I wish someone, I wish someone like Saul Williams with his mind state got in there. Doing a record with Trent Reznor? That would have been amazing at a major label because they really could have done something really nuts with that fucking record. And Saul in the mix he could have really done something, so in 10 years the majors aren’t so scary for other people coming up. But I think Murs could, I think Murs could do some things. I’m optimistic.
