I love the idea of making records that people can use, records that have a sense of utility.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
People are really set in their ways in how they produce records, and I was at least open enough to where I knew I wanted to do something totally different.
Collecting records is, for many, beyond a hobby.
Records used to be documents, but now record companies want product.
My original idea was to produce and not make records myself.
I make records with an open mind, I always have.
I just don't think you can make records easily and have them be great. It's a process. You've got to get really lucky all the time, or you've got to work like mad.
We made records to document ourselves, not to sell a lot of records. I still feel that way. I put out a record because I think it's beautiful, not necessarily commercial.
I pretty much just focus on making the records - unless I'm self-releasing them; then I do my own thing. But at some point, you have to stop worrying about chains of distribution, or it takes out of your time to write.
Because obviously the whole purpose of putting records out is purely and simply to make money.
I'm content with making records, but I don't want to be doing the same thing all the time.
