I've personally reached the point where the sound of MP3s are so uncompelling, because so much is lost in translation.

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.

Sometimes, I think the way the music business has been destructive and the way the fans are been put through it and try to navigate through it, so much is so foreign to what musicians would actually want to do or what would be natural to them.

I never had any expectations of winning a Grammy. It wasn't something I was set on, that I was hoping and praying and starving for.

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.

I have for four years now been ringing the bell. Economic Holocaust is coming. Economic day of reckoning is coming.

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