"People will put really expensive mics in front of you, and it sounds like shit. A lot of my demos I recorded with like a $40 microphone that I got in high school so I could play live. The vocals for instance on “I Was Married,” all the vocals and background vocals are vocals that I recorded with my $40 mic in my closet. There are electric guitar parts, all the noodling stuff, and a lot of the melodies on the album. I don’t have like 50,000 pedals. I have an overdrive and a digital delay, and I’ll sit there and spin the knobs tiny, tiny millimeters until I get a sound." (read full interview with Sara).

hmmm so what are the chances that whoever put this together actually realizes that that is a picture of TEGAN not sara above sara's quote. good interview but poor journalistic research when you cant even picture the right person for a quote.
