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.

Every band I knew or played with had flyers and properly-recorded demos and contacts; I couldn't even get a gig.

The years keep going by and you realize, Wow. Doing these records is such a process: going on tour for a year and a half, then you get home and you want to do other things.

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

I grew up I guess you'd say in the cassette era.

I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?

There are certain records that you love because the songs are great, but you don't go to them as an example of great production.
