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.

It's so easy to criticize your own time, and I see that as a problem, even for myself, as a listener.

I didn't want to do something typical.

When I pull out vinyl - which isn't that often anymore - it's undeniable that I get a different feeling. There's a different physiology happening between the sound waves and the body that doesn't happen with music playing off the computer.

It gets a little bit troublesome when you have something that's overcompressed that shouldn't be.

If someone is making a judgment when they don't have firsthand experience, it's intolerant. How can you make a judgment on something you don't know about?

It was disturbing to me that an idea or a song could become something so different from what you originally intended. It's like if a friend took a stupid picture of you at a party on their phone, and the next thing you knew, it was on every billboard.
