I Didn't Want To Do Something Typical.

I'm Always Looking For Older Equipment And Ways Of Recording, But You Can't Escape The Fact That It's All Going To Be Digitized And Reduced. I Do Think Music Sounds Better When It's On Tape And More Simply Recorded. 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 Wonder If It's Going To Go Back To That. Sometimes I Think It Has To. As Music Becomes More Computer-based, It's Lost Some Emotional Impact.

Whether You're Aware Of It Or Not, Any Kind Of Collage Idea Becomes A Part Of How You See The World Once You Incorporate Media And Internet And Video Games And All These Things.

You Just Want To Go Back To Those 70s Albums. Even A Lot Of The 90s Indie Records Were Still Done On Tape, And You Hear The Difference.

The Limitations Are Limitless.

My Whole Generation's Mission Is To Kill The Cliche...it's One Of The Reasons A Lot Of My Generation Are Always On The Fence About Things. They're Afraid To Commit To Anything For Fear Of Seeming Like A Cliche. They're Afraid To Commit To Their Lives Because They See So Much Of The World As A Cliche.
