...went our separate ways and worked on our parts for a few months. Then we all went to this cabin in Big Sur to play together. I always regret how much better songs sound after I tour them. You play them for six months and then wish you could make the album again cause they sound so much better. I wanted to get a little of that effect for the record...
...penalties for harming tigers in China are harsh - a villager in Yunnan province was recently jailed for 12 years for killing and eating what might well have been the country's last wild Indochinese tiger.

...history is any indication, marketers will keep getting more manipulative, and the storm of commercial noise will become more focused. Even then, there may be hope: Lindstrom's testing shows that people respond to a sound better when it's subtler. If nothing else, smart marketers may at least keep the volume...
