On "Cut the Mullet"
Cut the Mullet is a song about beauty, and the lack thereof. It is an expression of distaste for so much more than just a filthy hairdo, it is an entire lifestyle choice and breeding phenomenon that brings the angst and frustration to the surface. Wesley was never the one to deal with the proverbial 'elephant in the room', he would simply say "Hey, Look at that fuckin' elephant! NOW SUCK IT'S DICK!"

On Conceiving the Cover
We thought we had it. We thought we would just be over it. It is just some ol' Wesley sequence, we can do it no problem. When it came right down to it, nothing seemed good enough, nothing seemed to carry the message. Armed with some drum loops and a hatred for the mullet, Loki sat in the lab with nothing but Guinness and cheese, and the percussive sounds of Ms. Loki trying to get him out of the lab UNTIL FINALLY!! On the 3rd hour of the 3rd day of the 3rd week, the frame was constructed, and one by one we laid our own frustrations on the alter for Wesley Willis, our newest ambassador to the other side. Thank You Wesley, we submit Cut The Mullet for your approval.
