The whole city is our reverberation room

Record one of your favorite conversations in the entire movie.

- So I've been thinking. Why do we even need to rent a fucking studio?

- Because…you need a desk, a live room and soundproofing.

- Laptop, Pro Tools, a couple dynamic mics, and the city is our fucking live room.

- You mean record outside?

- That's right.

- Like where?

- Everywhere. Fuck him. We don't need a demo. Let's…let's record an album. Every song we do in a different location. All over New York City. And we do it through the summer, and it becomes this tribute to this beautiful, goddamn crazy, fractured mess of a city, New York.

- OK, like, under the bridge on the Lower East Side.

- Top of the Empire State Building.

- Rowing boats in the lake in Central Park.

- Chinatown. Cathedral of Saint John the Divine. OK, in the subway, in fucking Harlem, everywhere, OK?

- OK, so what happens if it starts raining?

- Whatever happens, we record it.

- If we get arrested?

-Keep rolling. It'll be beautiful.
