00:00I think you do more than I do. I haven't in well over a decade. I don't pay. I can't.
00:05I just I feel like because even if it's good, it's not necessarily great for the creative process because then
00:14I feel like I'm trying to live up to a certain expectation or I feel like it's actually nudging me
00:19one way or the other.
00:20I think if I continue to live in the state of complete oblivion, where I don't know what anybody thinks,

00:33And if you read something and it's negative, then that can have an adverse effect as well. You, on the
00:38other hand, have much, I think, a different philosophy. You tend to at least dip your toes in once in

00:50Do they say you play guitar well?
00:52Well, I've gotten more like Miles over the years. It's just you could read 10 great things and you read
00:59the one lukewarm one and it just pisses you off.
01:02It's like, how dare you? I put everything I have into this. And that's, you know, we put everything we
01:06have in this. It's very personal to us.
01:08So somebody who's just like, oh, let me give it a listen. You know, that will make you, you know,
01:15angry with people.
