“The 'cool' record store. It is where you can talk to people who are like you. They look like you, think like you and, most tellingly like the same music as you - the only comparable experience these days would probably be an art museum - an actual place where you can stand and simply be surrounded by your heroes.” PeopleThinkingLooksArtRecordsLike YouHeroStoresThese DaysMuseumsRecord Stores Author:Wayne Coyne
“What record companies do these days is drain the blood dry of an album, take six singles off it, and harm the longevity of artists' careers by doing it.” ArtistCompanyCareersRecordsBloodSixAlbumsHarmThese DaysDryLongevityDrainsRecord CompaniesSingles Author:Elton John
“I don't listen to music throughout the day very often. I don't own a record player. I don't really have a stereo system. Most of the music I listen to these days is on the web or on MySpace pages, stuff like that.” StuffRecordsPlayerPagesThese DaysListening To MusicRecord Players Author:Panda Bear
“I always like junkyards. All this metal piled up - they're filled with pathos, those places. Much more pathos than most of the music I've heard. You look at it, and there's more feeling, even though it's depressing, than there is in a lot of music I hear these days. A junkyard is what it is, whereas listening to a record by, say, Styx, is something else.” LooksFeelingsRecordsHeardListeningFilledThese DaysMetalsDepressingPathosStyxJunkyard Author:Tom Verlaine
