An exclusive interview with Mark Williams

NEON PHOSPHOR speaks to the genius behind "The Clapping Song," "The Mean Song," "Alpha and Omega," and lots more.

NP: WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE COLOR?

MW: fuck that. i mean, i'm sorry, it's all about context, how it fits in. chartreuse could be if it's got the right backing. that's why sonic youth's ok, and so are the stooges. all that shit, that fuzz and overdrive and cracking up and down the tape, it has its place. so colors are nothing by themselves.

NP: WHY CAN'T YOU JUST SAY GREEN LIKE SOME NORMAL PERSON!!!!!!!!!

MW: normal people make normal music. i try to do something else

NP: THERE YOU HAVE IT, OOPS I NEED TO TURN MY MIC OFF

there you have it. from the mark himself.
