"biggest smile from tokyo"

Q: Hey Karly, I've been a long time fan of mark kozelek's music (red house painters and sun kil moon) When I first heard 'Handsome Man' I noticed you used the line 'biggest smile from tokyo'. Is that a reference to the red house painter's 'cruiser' or are you and Mark both referencing some other media that im not aware of. Ever since i heard that song, I've been wondering about that. P.S. wednesday is my favorite band everrrrr love you guys :))

A: I love Mark Kozelekโ€™s music too unfortunately, especially this time of yearโ€ฆ. It is indeed a reference to his song โ€œCruiserโ€โ€ฆ one of my faves of all time.

For the record though i LOATHE you Mark Kozelek.

Iโ€™ve written a song about this dynamic I have with him and hating him as a person but loving his musicโ€ฆ maybe itโ€™ll be released one day idk!
