NOFX Scrap Plans for Double Album and Announce 'Single Album' Instead
They've also celebrated covers of "Linoleum" with a new version called "Linewleum"
The record includes the previously released singles "I Love You More Than I Hate Me" and "Doors and Fours." There's also a brand new version of "Linoleum" called "Linewleum," which was recorded as a thank you to all the fans who've covered the song over the years.
Here's what Fat Mike had to say about the new version:
I have no idea why "Linoleum" is THE NOFX song that is covered by so many bands while other NOFX songs get hardly any attention. "Linoleum" wasn't a single, it had no video, it got no radio play, and most importantly, it didn't even have a chorus!!! All popular songs have choruses! WTF! So, One night I stayed up till 4:00 am checking out all the different versions on YouTube. Watching hundreds of bands from over 28 countries (mostly Indonesia) doing "Linoleum" was a humbling experience for me. So I decided to write a song that was a shout out to all those people that learned those four chords and remembered the non-rhyming lyrics. Then I asked the biggest of all the bands (Avenged Sevenfold) to play some leads on the song. Then M Shadows suggested we do a video together. Then I figured I should put all of the bands in the video. Well, I couldn't fit all the bands, but I picked a bunch of cool ones! A song about not playing a song that's not a hit song with a video about other bands covering the song! This is why I love punk rock writing punk songs. Rules out the door!
