Seriously, what the fuck with the candles? If you go to the dentist or the barber or any other trained professional, and he has to interrupt his work to tend to the candles, or if he has a candle steward doing it for him, you'd be pretty freaked out. Where does this candle impulse come from, and in what other profession does it get expressed?

So, I went to the midwest to make a record. There was a lot of bad carpet and cheap wood and everyone wore over-practical shoes, old shirts, and bulky glasses in what I felt to be way too much expression of things I never understood even when college rock was new and relevant.
Relax, it's just some candles, and, for Christ's sake, it's L.A.
And it's not the Studio's fault some knucklehead didn't know what kind of questions to ask booked a useless room. Sounds like it's a mix room that has a small overdub booth to give it a little extra flexibility. They make those, you know.
Not every record is two guitars, a bass, and drums. There are, in fact, other modes of expression in the world. And they make tools for rendering those other modes of expression.
So, back to the story...
ps. I'm not even from L.A.
