• "As far as my tastes in music go, and what I love about music, I don't know if it's really what I would care to listen to. I like really great singers and really, really great guitar players. I'm more interested in that than song structures and the use of multi-tracking overdubs. The things I'm good at are not necessarily the things I appreciate. And that's fine. I can come to terms with that. Sometimes it bothers me, sometimes it's fine." (Doug Martsch talking to avclub.com)
