I’m not always a positive person. I wake up grumpy, I read the newspaper and I get furious that the world is still at war.
I had never made a record before, so I didn’t know anything about it. I don’t know anything about knobs, frequencies, tones.
If you are what you eat, in my case, I’d be sweet so come and get some.
