Legendary recording engineer Steve Albini, (from a seriously long thread on a poker forum) on whether he can really get into the music of a band he's recording:
- While the recording is underway, I'm like a gynecologist, and it would be inappropriate for me to be getting turned-on by the vagina I'm working on at the moment. I need to have a different relationship with the vagina.
The guy's a pro.
