When I was a teenager, I learned that in order to play guitar like Johnny Ramone, it takes a huge amount of physical effort.

Digital might capture the dynamics of what I heard before it went to tape a bit more accurately, but on the other hand, when we'd switch from listening to the digital version to the analog, the change was so profound - the music would suddenly go three-dimensional, and it felt much more engaging.

The French were always masters at mid-range. And I like the attitude.

You wind up listening to one song that you really like 30 times on YouTube and then you're done with it. That's the way it is.

We've had incredibly huge obstacles in our way - no tapes, no royalties, no cooperation on any level - and we sort it out.
