Our ideas about love and attractiveness are so primal, our need for belonging so intense, that most of us are loath to abandon our favorite beliefs on these issues.

I do think music sounds better when it's on tape and more simply recorded.
fun tired years
You spend so many months and years in the studio, and you see the clock ticking and so much time spent on the minutiae of technical things.
