“I think taking too long to work on a record you sort of lose some of the feeling, so I write as fast as I can; it's just this manic phase where I'm by myself and or on tour and I write and I write. And I send them to the guys, and we start planning our studio ventures.” ThinkingWritingLongI CanFeelingsGuyLosesRecordsStudiosPlanningPhasesVentureManic Author:John Darnielle
“I wanted to make good records. But my problem is I've got a low boredom threshold, so I wanted it to look and sound different with each album, which is really tantamount to suicide, cause people lose it, they lose it - they say: 'I like that, and that's not this.'” PeopleLooksDifferentProblemWantedCausesSoundLosesRecordsLowsSuicideAlbumsBoredomThresholdGood Records Author:Adam Ant

“We also write to heighten our own awareness of life... We write to taste life twice, in the moment, and in retrospection... We write to be able to transcend our life, to reach beyond it...to teach ourselves to speak with others, to record the journey into the labyrinth. We write to expand our world when we feel strangled, or constricted, or lonely... When I don't write, I feel my world shrinking... I feel I lose my fire and my color.” WorldFeelsWritingMomentsAbleSpeakLosesTeachRecordsFireOur LivesJourneyAwarenessColorTasteLonelyOur WorldLabyrinthShrinkingAwareness Of Life Author:Anais Nin
“How did we lose our culture? Black people used to all do the same thing on Saturdays. We all watched "Soul Train" and "American Bandstand", got our fashion and dance tips, and then we emulated it and bought those records that we heard. Now it seems like there is no culture. The school of fish are all separate. Everybody's just randomized, listening to their own thing in their earbuds, and there's no uniformity. That bothers me.” PeopleSoulSeemsSchoolUsedCultureBlackLosesRecordsHeardFashionListeningTrainFishesBotherBlack PeopleSaturdayUniformitySoul TrainSchools Of Fish Author:DJ Quik
“Time and again-from the collapse of the Soviet Union to the events of 9/11 to the onset of the Arab Spring-events have caught the experts, whether in government or on the outside, completely by surprise. Business owners with comparable performance records go bust. Brokers lose their clients. Physicians get sued for malpractice. Yet think-tankers and policy wonks continue to opine, never pausing to reflect on-or apologize for-their spotty records.” ThinkingGovernmentLosesRecordsEventsPolicySpringPerformancesUnionsSurpriseCaughtExpertsOwnersSovietCollapseClientsPhysiciansApologizingSoviet UnionBusiness OwnersBrokersPausingArab SpringMalpractice Author:Andrew Bacevich
“I wrestled and played football in high school and in my last year, I started as a wrestler and actually had a fairly good record. But I hated to lose. I always gave it everything I had which, unfortunately, was not as much as I'd hoped for. But keep in mind, I feel like I got the most out of my ability. One moment that was special above all the rest was winning my last bout at the Naval Academy to finish the entire summer undefeated. That was thrilling, but what's more, it helped me in prison because the first time I got knocked around by the Vietnamese, it did not come as a total shock.” FeelsYearsMindFirstsMomentsSchoolLastsWinningLosesAbilityRecordsSpecialFootballSummerHigh SchoolFirst TimePrisonHatedShockLast YearThrillingAcademyNavalWrestlerVietnameseUndefeatedGood RecordsNaval Academy Author:John McCain
