Whenever I say I made a record in the garage, people just assume that I have, like, a Lear jet parked in there or something. But really there's old luggage, a couple of bikes. It's big enough to put one minivan in. That's it. No dartboard. I'm so not macho.

When you're recording to analog tape, it captures performance and you can't necessarily manipulate that in different ways. It is what it is.
