You Don't Find Geniuses In

I'm Still Terrified Of Flying. I Really Have To Get Drunk To Fly. I've Found That I've Developed Fears I Never Had Before... Fears Of Heights, Claustrophobia... Only In Cities, Though, Never In The Country.

I Will Still Carry On Changing All The Time.

I'm Obsessed - Not Just Interested, Obsessed - With Folk Music, Street Music, The Parallels Between A Country's Street Music And Its So-called Classical And Intellectual Music, The Way Certain Scales Have Travelled Right Across The Globe. All This Ethnological And Musical Interaction Fascinates Me. Have You Heard Any Trance Music? That's The Thing.

There's A Very Old Recording Maxim That Goes, 'distance Makes Depth.' I've Used That A Hell Of A Lot-whether It's Tracking Guitars Or The Whole Band. People Are Used To Close-miking Amps, But I'd Have A Mic Out Around The Back, As Well, And Then Balance The Two. Also, You Shouldn't Have To Use Eq In The Studio If The Instruments Sound Right. You Should Be Able To Get The Right Tones Simply With The Science Of Microphone Placement.

I'm Trying To Photosynthesize Like A Plant. I'm Off Eating. Although I Am Making A Lot Of Banana Daiquiries In My Room In The Blender I've Got, With Lots Of Powdered Vitamins In Them. This Tour I'm Going To Get Some Afghani Hangings And Put Them In My Room, So That My Hotel Rooms Look Like Mosques.
