RO: You know what song we really like? "Never Mix, Never Worry." We guess that's not really a question, but that doesn't mean it didn't need to be said.

TSN: Thanks. That song is actually based on Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf*.

*Generally, we would've followed up on this with something clever, but we have no idea who Virginia Woolf is or why anyone would be afraid of her, so we just acted like it didn't get said. It's the same thing we do when one of our sons asks us a question we don't know the answer to, like "Where is my red car?" or "What's the capital of California?"

RO: Let's say the rapture was here and you guys, the sparkly, vibrant pop rockers from the South, were tasked with convincing the Devil not to upend everything entirely. He tells you that you can play him one song, and if it's good enough, he'll hold off on destroying humanity -something about music taming the beast or whatever. What song do you pick?

TSN: Hmmm... we're going to play "Last Looks."

RO: Why?

TSN: Because it's the end and we're not gonna save anyone.

RO: What about if you could pick any song in all of music?

TSN: We wanna say "We Are the World." The other one we might pick is "Don't Stop Believin'."

RO: Oh, man. The Devil is definitely a Journey fan. You should go with that one. How are you all able to pump out so much music? I mean, it seems like there's a new tape each week. You guys are like indie-rock's Lil Flip.

TSN: We just kind of do this stuff everyday. It's the only thing we want to do. We're not getting any younger so we want to do as much as possible. It's a point of pride for the band to do as much as possible. It's something that all of our efforts go into. There's no point in doing it if you're not going to put out six albums. [laughs]

RO: Anything you want to make sure gets mentioned?

TSN: We're having a great time on tour. We're touring with Elaine's band, so we're all in the van together being smelly. We haven't showered in three days. We're hard in the game [laughs]. And we're excited about our Houston show.

The Sour Notes play Sunday at Fitzgerald's downstairs with Ancient Cat Society (a three-piece folk group made from pieces of Buxton), Elaine Greer and her five-piece band and Austin's Marmalakes. Follow The Sour Notes on Twitter at @thesournotes.
