“I'm not so much in the future as always in the present. The future always takes care of itself. What I do now with my video camera, it can only record what is happening now. I am celebrating reality and the essence of the moment. And that's the greatest challenge that I have.” MomentsRealityCareChallengesRecordsHappeningsEssenceCamerasTake CareVideoCelebrateVideo Cameras Author:Jonas Mekas
“The reason for backing tracks is to not veer off too far from the record and have what the fans actually want to hear. Artists use backing tracks just so they can stay close to the record and what the consumer heard for the first time. It's not to be confused with lip synching or anything like that cos that's not happening at all.” WantFirstsReasonUseArtistRecordsHeardFansHappeningsFirst TimeLipsTrackConsumersConfused Author:Chris Johnson

“The United States does not have a very good record in the Middle East. I think they have the best of intentions but I think the problem is that it's very difficult from Washington, or from Iowa or Nebraska to understand what is happening in this crazy part of the world. In some cases US diplomacy has been somewhat naive.” ThinkingWorldDoeHas BeensStatesProblemDifficultUnitedCasesUnited StatesRecordsCrazyMiddleHappeningsIntentionVery GoodEastMiddle EastDiplomacyNaiveIowaNebraskaGood Records Author:Moshe Arens
“It does seem that the sea ice is returning to 'average' after the record lows of 2007 and 2008. There has been a definite recovery trend since then, so far from being a progression towards ice free summers it seems that it was a temporary dip. The recent observations do make the 2007 projections that the region would be ice free by 2013 look very unrealistic. Given what is happening only the foolish would look many years into the future and predict ice free summers now.” YearsLooksDoeHas BeensSeemsWould BeGivenRecordsSeaSummerLowsHappeningsAverageFoolishRecoveryObservationIceRegionsTemporaryTrendsDefiniteProjectionProgressionDip Author:David Robert Whitehouse
“It's like I'll sit down and put my hands on the piano or the guitar, and then I'll hear a sound or I'll feel a chord that will resonate and then I'll get something happening in my voice. My voice is like a car that I get into and drive but I don't know where I'm going. And I record everything. And often, I sort of get into a state, a creative state that is, where I'm just feeling around melodically, and playing things off the top of my head. Then I go back and listen to it and for the first time, hear what I just did. It's like Elvis has left the building while the thing is happening.” KnowsFeelsFirstsStatesFeelingsHandsLeftSoundVoiceCreativeRecordsCarBuildingHappeningsFirst TimeDown AndGuitarThings HappenPianoChords Author:Beth Nielsen Chapman
