After watching a couple of live performances of bands like Nirvana, I was really excited and inspired by how raw and powerful it was.

I don’t listen to music throughout the day very often. I don’t own a record player. I don’t really have a stereo system. Most of the music I listen to these days is on the web or on MySpace pages, stuff like that.

I enjoy trying to figure out a way to deal with machines – they become like little buddies or something. It’s almost the same way you might develop a relationship with a dog – maybe that’s weird to say – but there becomes an understanding you reach after a while.
