Just Out Of Curiosity, I

There's A Perception That If An Artist Produces Another Artist, They're Going To Imprint On Them. But I'm The Opposite. I Want To Hear That Artist; I Don't Want To Hear Me - That's The Last Thing I Want To Hear. 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.

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?

There's 40 Or 50 Songs That Nobody's Heard That I've Done In Between Albums. There's A Whole Evolution From Midnite Vultures To Sea Change That's Never Been Released.

Technology Was Something I Avoided When I Started Out - I Didn't Even Have Electric Guitars. Only Played Acoustic.

I Do Think Music Sounds Better When It's On Tape And More Simply Recorded.
