With My Own Music, I Try To

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. I Do Think Music Sounds Better When It's On Tape And More Simply Recorded. 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. I Wonder If It's Going To Go Back To That. Sometimes I Think It Has To. As Music Becomes More Computer-based, It's Lost Some Emotional Impact.

Just Out Of Curiosity, I Wonder What Makes Music Or Culture Or Taste Go In Certain Directions. Who Knows What The Forces Are Behind It.

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?

Your Heart Is A Drum Keeping Time With Everyone.

Originally, The Lyrics To "girl" Were Really Upbeat, And Then It Didn't Work For Me Somehow. You Need The Dichotomy. If You're Doing Something Happy And Light, You Need The Shadows.
