So I don't know if you know 93 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: quite well, but South Bay is kind of over the hell, 94 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:16,679 Speaker 1: so it's quite a way way away. 95 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 2: But I didn't have a car or anything. 96 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 1: We were completely broke, so i'd walk each day from 97 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: South Bay over the hell, probably like a forty five 98 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: minute walk or an hour walk or so. And I 99 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: can't remember if I had it on my iPod, if 100 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,719 Speaker 1: we were burning CDs and I was actually listening to 101 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: it on my discumen, I would listen to the songs 102 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: going over the hell and sort of in order as well, 103 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: so you kind of get that sort of album feeling, 104 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 1: and because that was the sort of goal to make 105 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 1: an album, you know, not just like a bunch of songs, 106 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: but just actually that sort of album thing. Yeah, every 107 00:04:55,520 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 1: day over the hell listening to it and then to 108 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: getting into the studio and you get heaps of ideas 109 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 1: of what to do and you know what to change, 110 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 1: and yeah, listening to it like thousands of times, so 111 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: many times over the hell back over there, and then 112 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: probably once it's released never. 113 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 3: That's the thing you don't you don't, but everyone else 114 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 3: is consuming it in a completely different way. The other 115 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 3: part for you is, I guess as a musician, it's 116 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 3: a moment in time, right and probably your tastes, the 117 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 3: way you feel about things probably moves on and there 118 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 3: it is cemented in time forever.
