The Only Kind Of Restaurant I Could

My Father Was An Expert Hunter, So We Ate A Lot Of Wild Game When I Was Growing Up In Montana. That Helped Broaden My Palate Generally, But I Know It Informed My Distaste For Factory Farms And Unspectacular Commercial Meat.

In Terms Of Other People's Perception Of Me, That's Their Business. There Are People Who I Have Never Met But, For Whatever Reason, I Am Certain That These People Are Jack-offs. I've Never Met Billy Joel, But I'm Absolutely Convinced He's An Asshole. I Can't Justify That Opinion, That's Just What I Think. But My Opinion About Billy Joel Isn't Going To Affect Him In The Slightest. In The Same Way, I Am Sure There Are People Out There Who Are Completely Convinced That I Am An Asshole, For Whatever Reason. They Might Even Feel More Justified Than I Feel About My Presumptive Opinion Of Billy Joel.

There Is A Lot Of Use Of Protools In Professional Studios, But This Is Mostly For The Special Effects It Allows, Not For Sound Quality. These Special Effects Soon Fall Out Of Fashion, And I Don't Think This Trend Will Define Studios Permanently

I'm Only Interested In Working On Records That Legitimately Reflect The Band's Own Perception Of Their Music And Existence. If You Commit Yourselves To That As A Tenet Of The Recording Methodology, Then I Will Bust My Ass For You.
