“All this business of a labour to accomplish, before I can end, of words to say, a truth to recover, in order to say it, before I can end, of an imposed task, once known, long neglected, finally forgotten, to perform, before I can be done with speaking, done with listening, I invented it all, in the hope it would console me, help me to go on, allow me to think of myself as somewhere on a road, moving, between a beginning and an end, gaining ground, losing ground, getting lost, but somehow in the long run making headway.” ThinkingLongI CanEndsDoneHelpingRunningMovingOrderLostKnownListeningGoes OnLosingTasksForgottenAccomplishHelp MeLabourLong RunsNeglectedConsoleGetting Lost Book:The Unnamable Source: The Unnamable
“A dissection of music perception and creation that starts slowly and inexorably builds to a grand finish. I loved reading that listening to music coordinates more disparate parts of the brain than almost anything else--and playing music uses even more! Despite illuminating a lot of what goes on this book doesn't "spoil" enjoyment- it only deepens the beautiful mystery that is music.” BookUseBeautifulReadingBrainMysteryCreationListeningGoes OnPerceptionDespiteEnjoymentListening To MusicSpoilPlaying MusicIlluminatingCoordinatesDissection Author:David Byrne

“When I received the invitation to "check out" Fairport I knew absolutely nothing about them, all I knew was that they were beginning to establish themselves as an underground favorite, by playing regularly at the UFO club in Covent Garden. But the crowd I was running with at the time were listening to a completely different genre of music. So I had nothing to go on, there was nothing on vinyl, Fairport's recording days were still ahead of them.” StillsDifferentRunningListeningGoes OnGardenCrowdsClubsChecksGenreInvitationsUfoAbsolutely NothingVinylDifferent GenresGenres Of MusicCovent GardenDifferent Genres Of Music Author:Iain Matthews
“It's really nice meeting people after a concert. Still, it's very weird to be at the center of a group of 30 people all listening to what you're saying. When that group turns into 300 people, it goes on from weird. Some people revel in it, and I don't.” PeopleStillsTurnsNiceGroupsListeningGoes OnMeetingsConcertsReally Nice Author:Robert Smith
“Long before I wrote stories, I listened for stories. Listening for them is something more acute than listening to them. I suppose it’s an early form of participation in what goes on. Listening children know stories are there. When their elders sit and begin, children are just waiting and hoping for one to come out, like a mouse from its hole.” KnowsChildrenLongStoriesFormWaitingListeningGoes OnHolesStorytellingMiceParticipationEldersWaiting And Hoping Book:One Writer's Beginnings Source: One Writer's Beginnings
