When Sub Pop announced the lineup for their Silver Jubil-eve: A 25th Anniversary Comedy Thing (for Charity!), I couldn't decide who I was more excited about—Eugene Mirman, the standup comedian I've seen at least 20 times in the past 10 years, who now does the voice of Gene on the very hilarious Bob's Burgers, or H. Jon Benjamin, a new funny favorite of mine who not only voices Gene's dad, Bob, but is also the voice of Home Movies' Coach McGuirk. They're both so hilarious! I can't pick! So instead of deciding between the two, I interviewed both of them about Sub Pop, records, birthday parties, and each other.

Do you have a favorite Sub Pop band?
I assume Eugene Mirman gets all his Sub Pop records for free, so I probably listen to less Sub Pop music than he does just because I have to pay out of pocket. But the last Sub Pop CD I bought was J. Mascis.
Did you like it?
I did. And Dum Dum Girls. They're good, too.
Who do you think Bob's favorite Sub Pop band would be?
Bob would wear a Sub Pop T-shirt because Gene gave him one, but I don't think he'd know any of the bands. He's really a dad with a capital D-A-D. He has other things to do. He's like, "I don't care, listen to whatever you want. Just turn it down a little."
