I only recently started putting up some photos from some of the sessions I've done over the years and some of the Garbage sessions because my daughter, who's 10-years-old, when she was about 6 or 7 she was more curious about what I do.

I never really put the old recordings on and listen to them and go, "Oh that sounds great."
