“If the music in a groove fits with what you're playing, then play it; if not, then you can play it backwards. If that doesn't work, you try it at a different speed. If it really doesn't work you just break it. The whole ritual to put a record on a turntable just to listen to it, I don't do that too often.” IfsTryingDifferentPlayWholeBreakRecordsFitSpeedRitualBackwardsGrooveTurntables Author:Christian Marclay
“People who care about records are always giving me a hard time. I mean, I would destroy records in performances, and break them, and whatever I could do to them to create a sound that was something else than just the sound that was in the groove.” PeopleGivingMeanHardCareSoundBreakRecordsPerformancesHard TimesWho CaresGroove Author:Christian Marclay
“A personal offense is like a scratch on a phonograph record. I couldn't move my thoughts beyond my pain. It kept repeating, as if I were stuck within its grooves. There was only one way to play beyond it. I had to forgive them, so my heart could take its form again.” IfsWayHeartPlayPainMovingFormRecordsMy HeartForgivingStuckOne WayOffenseMy ThoughtsScratchesGroovePhonograph Author:Laurel Lea
“What we hear now is great-sounding records with great-sounding grooves and loops. And the sound of these records is irresistible, but the craft of songwriting is just about over. That's why, whenever I get an opportunity to do an album full of standards, I jump at it because I miss it.” OpportunitySoundRecordsMissingStandardsAlbumsCraftsSongwritingIrresistibleLoopsGroove Author:Barry Manilow

“Oh God almighty, another Detroit monster is Chad Smith of the Chili Peppers. Their music is intoxicating between Flea and Chad Smith. They're contemporary because they're still making good records, but I don't think there's anything new that has a groove and soulfulness. The Chili Peppers just stink of soul-and that's the ultimate compliment. They continue what James Brown created.” ThinkingStillsSoulRecordsMusic IsUltimateMonstersContemporaryBrownComplimentAlmightyDetroitStinkGrooveFleasPeppersChiliChadGood RecordsChili PeppersSoulfulness Author:Ted Nugent
