I made a rule for myself in my early 20s not to become a record collector in the sense that I reference all my old records. I can't live like that. I'd just be trapped in comparison, trying to emulate something, so I made a rule to just buy what I need, just the records I need.
All of us need to self-promote. We cannot sit back and wait for our gallery or rep to do it all.
I think the sensitivity that you need to create certain things sometimes would spill over into things that shouldn't have bothered me.
That's what happens nowadays with people working on computers. They can so easily fix things with their mouse and take out all the, 'Oh, somebody coughed in the background; we need to take that out' - or somebody hit a bad note. Those are all the best moments.
The way I like to start a new project is to take a cover song and make a stab at it, ideally one that has nothing to do with the people in the room.
Some people remaster their records six, seven times, remix it three, four times, spend a million hours, then they always go back and hear a demo of it and they'll say, 'Aw that sounds so much better than the final mix.'

Well any man with a microphonecan tell you what he loves the mostand you know why you love at allif you're thinking of the holy ghostif you're thinking of the holy ghost.
Well any man with a microphone can tell you what he loves the most and you know why you love at all if you're thinking of the holy ghost if you're thinking of the holy ghost.
(Friday) we were kind of tentative. We kind of struggled a little bit and weren't as aggressive as we usually are.

This trial is moving like a freight train.
I've had a love for T-Birds since I was a kid. I've had this one for about 20 years. I started working on the car a year and nine months ago, finished Thursday morning and got down here Thursday afternoon. It's got nine miles on it since the restoration from Concord to here.
