Hi Mika Miko. The theme is summer. The style is short-and-sweet and honest-like. When was the last time you played miniature golf drunk? Go!
Michelle: I have never done that. I prefer to be stone cold sober so I can do the batting cages afterwards.
Jennifer: Never! I would get too stressed out and leave…
Jenna: Outside of Columbus, Ohio in a place I believe was called Reynoldsburg. Me and [Mika Miko’s new drummer] Seth went to the Strange Boys’ La Quinta swimming pool and drank some mimosas. And then afterwards me, Seth and [Strange Boys’] Greg Enlow went to a mini golf place where they rode go-karts, and I just played arcade games. Most of them turned out to be broken. But, at one point, I went into a cave on the golf course links that was unexpectedly cool inside. It was like a real cave…but made of cement.
Mika Miko opens a putt-putt course. What’s the theme?
Michelle: Zombies. You get chased…by zombies.
Jenna: Tons of caves.
What are your favorite kind of sox to play in or relax in.
Michelle: Black sox that are kind of stretchy.
Jennifer: Cashmere sox!
Jenna: Bichon Frise sox.
What is your favorite Black Flag album cover and why?
Michelle: Loose Nut. Why not?
Jennifer: Slip It In. Because it is funny.
Jenna: Who?
How many turkey sandwiches have you had thrown at you on stage or otherwise per your song called “Turkey Sandwich”? Describe the sandwiches in terms of quality and fixings.
Michelle: Last night the first one was thrown. It happened on the same day that Sky Saxon, Farrah Fawcett, and Michael Jackson died! This particular sandwich was simple: bread and turkey. Greg from the Strange Boys ate it. After it was all over the stage.
Jennifer: Yeah, Greg ate it after it had already fallen out of Seth’s mouth and onto the floor for the second time.
That is disgusting! Follow up: Turkeys are allegedly intelligent animals. You eat them? This is a very silly question, not a vegan thing.
Michelle: I was a vegetarian for seven years. I broke my veg with a turkey sandwich shortly after the song was written. Subliminal.
Jennifer: I only eat “tofurkey.”
Jenna: Certainly!
Which smells better: a turkey sandwich, your favorite suntan lotion (specify) or Mr. Zog’s Sex Wax?
Michelle: Turkey sandwich.
Jennifer: Suntan lotion! That kind from Whole Foods that had lavender in it.
Jenna: Um, who smells a sandwich? Zog’s Sex Wax. I smelled it just now for the first time.
Have you ever seen or purchased a baby shark floating in formaldehyde in a glass tube in a beach shop? Thoughts?
Michelle: NOOO! I hate sharks so I would definitely be into this. I am into getting a shark skeleton for my living room. I like shark teeth.
Jennifer: Nope. But I did buy a glass tube filled with shells and sand from the beach once.
Jenna: On my mantle there are three preserved animals. One of them is a bat in a jar, floating in a liquid that gets lower every few months from evaporation. Half his wing is out in the air now.
Which movie have you seen more times: Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains or Foxes? And which is better?
Michelle: Stains. Black Randy. The end.
Jennifer: Oh my god! Foxes is so good. I totally forgot about that movie!
Jenna: I’ve seen both of them once, but Foxes got tiresome toward the end. What about Foxfire?
We can’t accept Foxfire as an answer. What is the fastest that your thoughts have ever raced and did you enjoy the sensation?
Michelle: This one time…I almost OD’d on K. I sat in front of a toilet for three hours talking to a tape recorder, trying to record my thoughts. I told myself I couldn’t die for three hours.
Jennifer: It was the worst moment of my life. I wanted to die. I was being chased by a crack head in Texas at like 2 a.m. It was like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
Jenna: Sometimes when I’m trying to go to sleep or stay asleep…I like it if I have a way to document it. Otherwise…it feels like God taunting my feeble mind. Michelle’s tape recorder comes in handy.
Think back to when you were younger. You have to date one for a year: Edward Furlong or Brad Renfro? And, naturally, why?
Michelle: Nick Stahl. We saw him in Austin while we were at SXSW. He was in Whole Foods. But back to your question, I think I would pick Renfro. He has a sweet face. [Note: he’s dead, he doesn’t have a face.]
Jennifer: Most def Edward. He is a hot commodity.
Jenna: I’m into older guys, like Jerry Lewis.
Have you ever gotten high on good weed to the point where you thought you were reptilian or found yourself intrigued by lizards? Discuss.
Michelle: Um, I have been in the same room with people talking about reptilian stuff so I guess I am guilty by association.
Jennifer: No, but there are times when I was high and wished I was the pistol shrimp if you know what I mean.
Jenna: I mostly think about people. Lizards, that’s a given.
Does Mika Miko melt in August or go into hibernation? The band seems like a summer entity. Truefax?
Michelle: I hate summer. I like winter only. I hate the heat. If I could, I would stay with my family in Argentina June through August.
Jennifer: Oh, I love the summer. And for sure, I hibernate in the winter.
Jenna: We chop wood all winter because the cold comes in spring where we live. We’re also into canning.
The last band I interviewed with this many girls was Fannypack. Is that bad?
Michelle: No. I don’t know who that is.
Jennifer: We had a vannypack for our van on our last tour. They should hang out.
Jenna: I meditated and saw our vannypack in the shape of god. Is that bad?
Probably. What is the true meaning behind your words, “Too cute to puke?”
Michelle: The true meaning is that we know a dude who is so cute you cant imagine him puking…
Jennifer: Yeah, so we were like, “Ohmygod, you are way too cute too puke.”
Jenna: I still don’t know who this guy is. How cute can he be? Remember Jerry Lewis?
Wooooo‘s logo is a bed-sheet ghost with a cock. What would you do if you came upon a ghost with a cock?
Michelle: I would put another sheet on him and have him pitch a tent.
Jennifer: Ahahahaha! Michelle, what you just said is AMAZING.
Jenna: If he died of old age, I’m in. More experience.
What really happened to Air France?
Michelle: That shit blew up.
Jennifer: The Real LOST.
Your band is still fascinated by the premature spectre of JonBenet Ramsey?
Michelle: Her death was so tragic.
Jennifer: Because her dad totally killed her. And I’m really into graveyards.
Jenna: She looked just like a little lady.
What is the closest you’ve come to being slimed?
Michelle: Watching Double Dare. Duh.
Jennifer: When my cat shits on the floor and I have to clean it up. I usually get slimed.
Jenna: This is so relevant. I was just talking about doing a sliming remix of a music video…Getting freshly slimed in every shot.
In two words, what is the greatest thing about summer?
Michelle: Air Conditioner.
Jennifer: Beach Party!
Jenna: Blockbuster Movies.

Mika Miko’s We Be Xuxa is out now on PPM. It does not sound like winter.
