Sometimes, Reissues Can Be Revelatory, Or Put

I Think I Gave Indications Early On That Mine Wasn't Just Going To Be A Commercial, Er, Career. If That Were The Case, Then The First Record Would Have Been 10 Versions Of 'loser.' I Always Thought It Would Be Interesting If There Was No Such Thing As Gold And Platinum Records, Or Record Deals, And People Were Just Making Music. What Would The Music Sound Like?

For The Records I've Work On Over The Last 10 Years, I Get Sent The Really Compressed Version And The Non-compressed Version, And Oftentimes You End Up Going With The More Compressed One Because It's What People's Ears Are Attuned To. I Think The Bigger Problem Is Saturation And People Being Desensitized.

There Are Plenty Of Minutemen. People Willing To Be Minutemen. Where Are The People That Want To Be George Washington? Where Are The Benjamin Franklins? Where Is Sam Adams? Where Is John Adams?

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.

With Modern Recording Techniques, And Living In The Pro Tools Era, The Process Gets Really Drawn-out, And It Can Become Painstaking.
