actual four half majority music reduced spent time touring
I feel like I've spent the majority of my time touring and traveling, so if I reduced the actual time making music, it's probably four and a half years at the most.
halftime speech
I think I need to give my halftime speech before the game.
cycle feeds half regular version
Organizations want small changes in functionality on a more regular basis. An organization like Flickr deploys a new version of its software every half hour. This is a cycle that feeds on itself.
concrete half stop yards
We didn't stop construction this winter. We've got more than 12,000 cubic yards of concrete in there now. It's more than half way.
monkeys half persons
I haven't seen a half-monkey, half person yet.
thinking half monkeys
I don't think we came from monkeys. I think that's ridiculous. I haven't seen a half-monkey, half-person yet.
people want franklin
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?
mother children years
I've said for years to wives and mothers, you must start to see yourself as Sarah Connor. You must equip your children with the information they need to survive an ever-changing world.
helping-others people use
There are a lot of technical studio things I've learned or figured out, and I feel like I could use those things to help other people with what they're doing.
thinking years people
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.
believe years people
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.
thinking sound tape
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. And I just thought it'd be fun to do something extremely fast and get that rush of something that had some energy, something that you weren't tired of when you finished it.
facts way equipment
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.
