Somebody Else Is Satisfied By

I Think Everybody Should Just Turn Off Their Tv Machines And Make Up Their Own Songs About Whatever Comes To Mind-their Couch, Their Friends Their Loaves Of Bread. Everybody's Got Their Own Songs.

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.

But People Don't Have Time To Go Track Down Vinyl, Lower It In, All That. And They Probably Don't Care. It's Hard To Make Music Knowing That It's Not Going To Be Received By The Listener In The Way That It Should Be.
