“One of my favourite things about country music is that, at least until recently, you could always count on a solid story, a punchline and a pun. I think it has that in common with hip hop, where they're not afraid of wordplay and I really appreciate that.” ThinkingCountryStoriesCommonMusic IsAppreciateHip HopHipsHopsNot AfraidFavouritePunWordplayFavourite ThingsPunchlines Author:St. Vincent

“It's an honor for me to close out Mysteryland. In American music history this is hallowed ground. I think electronic music has a lot in common with the spirit of rock and roll and what Woodstock had going on at the time. We are kind of the new kids on the block and this music isn't accepted by everyone so we are still kind of getting into pop culture and I think its appropriate that this festival is here and kicking down the door.” ThinkingKindStillsKidsSpiritCultureCommonDoorsRocksHonorMusic IsPopsAcceptedBlockAppropriateRock And RollFestivalsPop CultureKickingElectronic MusicAmerican MusicWoodstockHallowed Ground Author:Kaskade

“What I like to do with music is make people feel better. Make people realize that all humans have the same problems, more or less. A lot of people deal with the same thing.

“Regarding race or gender or sexuality, one of the great things about art and music is that they can provide people with very little else in common with a similar entry point for discussion, but the discussions still need to happen for life to get more interesting.” PeopleNeedsLittlesArtStillsHappensInterestingCommonRaceMusic IsGenderSexualityGreat ThingsDiscussionEntryArt And Music Author:Babatunde Adebimpe
“Give me the artist who breathes it like a native, and goes about his work in it as quietly as a common man goes about his ordinary business. Mozart did so; and that is why I like him. Even if I did not, I should pretend to; for a taste in his music is a mark of caste among musicians, and should be worn, like a tall hat, by the amateur who wishes to pass for a true Brahmin.” IfsMenGivingShouldArtistWishCommonTasteMusicianMusic IsOrdinaryGive MeMarkBreatheNativeHatsTallWornCommon ManCastesI Like HimBrahmins Author:George Bernard Shaw
