Who's to say what's a good voice and not a good voice?

To women, drummers seem like these adorable, sexy Neanderthals, and lead singers seem mysterious and dangerous. So while the lead singers all want to be David Bowie, floating into parties and being the center of attention, it's the drummers who are in the corner doing keg stands and breaking tables. Usually it's the drummers who get the fun-loving ladies and the singers who get the nutcases.

There's nothing better than having a bottle of beer in your hand in the waves.

When you're recording to analog tape, it captures performance and you can't necessarily manipulate that in different ways. It is what it is.

Through Kurt I saw the beauty of minimalism and the importance of music that's stripped down.

I don't think of Kurt as 'Kurt Cobain from Nirvana'. I think of him as 'Kurt'. It's something that comes back all the time. Almost every day.

I think musicians like me are drawn to those older desks, not just because they're legend and lore but also because they do something really specific that is hard to emulate or re-create digitally.
