I'm Always Looking For Older

You Just Want To Go Back To Those 70s Albums. Even A Lot Of The 90s Indie Records Were Still Done On Tape, And You Hear The Difference.

I've Done So Many Albums Where I've Been In The Studio For 14 Hours A Day For Six Months Just Trying To Come Up With Things On My Own. It's A Nice Change Helping Other People With Their Music And Not Being All About What I'm Trying To Do Myself.

There Are Plenty Of Minutemen. People Willing To Be Minutemen. Where Are The People That Want To Be George Washington? Where Are The Benjamin Franklins? Where Is Sam Adams? Where Is John Adams?

There Are Certain Records From The 80s And Early 90s That You Love Because The Songs Are Great, But You Don't Go To Them As An Example Of Great Production. Over The Last 20 Years, Myself And A Lot Of Other Musicians My Age Have Tried To Discover Things In 50s, 60s, And 70s Recording Techniques That Were Lost Or Discarded. We've All Been Trying To Crack This Code. It's Been An Important Period In The Last 15 Years, Reclaiming Some Of Those Lost Approaches To Making Records.

You Have To Shelve A Lot Of Your Inspiration. There's Only So Much You Can Do With One Record.
