I was coming off of a lot of psyche meds and other things.
From Elliott Smith
But I was also doing odd jobs around Portland, like spreading gravel and transplanting bamboo trees.
I watched myself put my paw in the bear trap on that one because there was this clause about leaving members.
My girlfriend at the time convinced me to send these songs to Cavity Search. When they wanted to put out my record I was totally shocked.
Because God only knows why people like what they like and don't like something else.
I didn't think I was gonna be playing on the Oscars or anything.
I was trying to do the same thing that I always do which is make an interesting record.
I don't think that Dreamworks would have signed me expecting to really mess around with whatever it is I do.
I actually don't think that I'm gonna sell a lot of records.
I like home recordings and studio recordings just as much as each other - I don't think one is better - but for this record I wanted to see what I could do in a real studio with real producers.
