Just out of curiosity, I wonder what makes music or culture or taste go in certain directions. Who knows what the forces are behind it.

There's some quality you get when you're not totally comfortable. When you're not doing what you're used to, you could completely fall on your face. You could completely blow it.

I do think music sounds better when it's on tape and more simply recorded.

My whole generation's mission is to kill the cliche...it's one of the reasons a lot of my generation are always on the fence about things. They're afraid to commit to anything for fear of seeming like a cliche. They're afraid to commit to their lives because they see so much of the world as a cliche.

The limitations are limitless.

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

When you use some of the more modern recording devices and Pro Tools, when you get into the technology, you are aching to get into some territory.
