There are certain recordings where my voice sounds good to me. Singing live I really enjoy, but I don't know how good it sounds.
Doug MartschThat's one of those hazards of an interview: You get tired of your stock answer and you try to get creative and even play devil's advocate.
Doug MartschI don't listen to a ton of music other than putting my show together, just because my lifestyle isn't too conducive to listening to music all the time. I like to watch basketball, and I would rather not listen to music while I'm doing that.
Doug MartschA lot of overdubs from the last couple of records had to do with me being insecure about the way my voice sounds or the way I play guitar. I would want to mask it with extra things, or keep every moment super exciting. With the newest record, I tried my best to back off, and if something wasn't interesting at every moment, or if my voice didn't sound that good, just let it go and accept it.
