There's an infinite amount of possibilities and detours and things that can distract you from actually just performing the song and having whatever emotion that's invested into the song come through in the recording.

I'm sure the music is going to come out. I'm not sure if I'm going to put out 12"s or put the songs on my website. I just have to get them done.

I've been arguing with people for 10 years about tape versus digital, and I believe tape is absolutely essential in getting the sound that's conducive to the enjoyment of music.

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

Technology was something I avoided when I started out - I didn't even have electric guitars. Only played acoustic.

I try not to do email; I try to talk to people on the phone.

Whatever you do has to be commercial and it can't be too distracting - it has to be background music, basically.
