Things come to me pretty regularly. There is never a shortage or a backlog
But I can't really say there is too much modern music that I'm blown away by at this moment
I privilege the music over the lyrics
For my second record I had gotten ProTools and started to familiar myself with hard disc recording.
It's inevitable your environment will influence what you do
So, once I've written a song, you know, I'm pretty happy with what the song is on its own terms.
