You need some way to connect your musical medium to the computer. This is where an interface comes in. Now of course it is possible to just connect your instrument through the audio in port into your computer, and it will sound just fine. But for many of us, who want to take our recording up a notch, an interface is a pretty necessary addition.
There are a lot of beginner interfaces out there, of differing qualities and price. I recently (yesterday) bought an Apogee Duet, which I love. Despite it's compact size, it is an incredibly powerful tool. It works seamlessly with Garageband and logic, and it is easier to use than a Japanese toilet. If you've got the money and your looking for something of high quality, with 2 inputs, I'd say go for the Duet.
Here is a quick recording I did with it to demonstrate it's sound, and to show its easy of use, I wrote and recorded this within 2 hours of opening the Duet's box. It's not finished but it shows that you can do with Garageband and a good interface. The recording is on soundcloud.
