Vinyl Quotes

“Il suono del disco che cade sul piatto è un sospiro veloce, che sa appena un po' di polvere. Quello del braccio che si stacca dalla forcella è un singhiozzo trattenuto, come uno schioccare di lingua, ma non umido, secco. Una lingua di plastica. La puntina strisciando nel solco, sibila pianissimo e scricchiola, una o due volte. Poi arriva il piano e sembrano gocce di un rubinetto chiuso male e il contrabbasso, come il ronzio di una moscone contro il vetro chiuso di una finestra, e dopo la voce velata di Chet Baker, che inizia a cantare "Almost Blue".”

“Everybody of my generation has the same memory. We were twelve or thirteen or we were twenty-one, for that matter, and we were going to be veterinarians or we were, like Ringo, going to own a hairdresser’s parlor. We walked into the record store and saw the cover of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. We thought together, 'Life can be other than it has been.”

“Die ochtend kwam de verdelger. In de woonkamer, op de eerste verdieping van ons huis, bleef hij staan voor de platenkast. Een gele bidon in de ene en een lange metalen sproeier in de andere hand. Hij floot tussen zijn tanden. “Hoeveel elpees zijn dat?” “Tweeduizend”, zei ik. “Wow.” Hij hield zijn hoofd schuin en begon de platenruggen te lezen. “Allemaal jazz”, zei ik. “O.” Er viel een stilte. Hij bleef zijn hoofd schuinhouden. Dat doen ze allemaal. Ik dacht aan zijn nieuwsgierigheid, misschien was het zelfs een prille vorm van enthousiasme geweest, die langzaam uit zijn lichaam wegsijpelde en langs armen en benen de vloer op stroomde. Nog even, een paar seconden, en ik zou het kunnen zien liggen aan zijn voeten: een plasje onbegrip. Hij bleef kijken. De pezen in zijn nek spanden zich op. Lang kon het niet meer duren. Door de smalle, hoge ramen aan de voorzijde brak de zon door – een weifelende glimlach. En allemaal zeggen ze nog iets, ter afsluiting van wat geen gesprek meer kan worden. “Mmm. Jazz, hé? Daar ken ik niks van.” Ik knikte even en zei: “Ik ook niet.” Het hoofd van de verdelger kantelde, en zette zich opgelucht weer recht op diens romp.”

“A lot of musicians like to do the bass and the drums with analog and get that tape distortion that's really beautiful. As far as the digital world goes - it's all going to end up there anyway, but when you hear vinyl it does a different thing to you. Nowadays, people do CDs and then vinyl so it's everything goes; it's a such a beautiful world.”

“I'd like to thank all the indie stores from Florida to California and all points in between for being so welcoming in 2007. I played Park Ave CDs, Waterloo, Shake It, Horizon, Amoeba (LA & SF), Criminal Records, Shangri-La, Grimey's, Vintage Vinyl, Ear X Tacy, Twist & Shout,Record Exchange, and a few more I can't recall. Thanks for your help with my Grammy-nominated Charlie Louvin album and Live At Shake It Records CD. Look for my new CD in late 2008.”

“I do have a collection of mid-century, small-press science fiction and fantasy hardcovers that is my most focused and dedicated collection. Everything else I tend more to acquire or amass than collect. I have vinyl records I listen to all the time when I work. But I don’t collect records. I just buy records where the price seems right and it’s music I actually listen to.”

“Music is very, very important in my movies. In some ways the most important stage, whether it ends up being in the movie or not, is just when I come up with the idea itself before I have actually sat down and started writing. I go into my record room... I have a big vinyl collection and I have a room kind of set up like a used record store and I just dive into my music, whether it be rock music, or lyric music, or my soundtrack collection. What I'm looking for is the spirit of the movie, the beat that the movie will play with.”

“For the nerd in me, I prefer full quality digital files as they give a truer representation of the source mix, the studio in fact. From these files I can quite often tell what kind of set up made the tracks. For the music lover in me, vinyl is more woosey, richer, more alive, more real, more imperfect and somehow becoming more like life itself. But I don't prefer it per se. The mastering engineer in me always loves to hear it as it was made.”

“I still do mostly listen to CDs. I think that every format really is a different way of listening. If you take a different sort of psychological stance to it - like, I think the transition from vinyl to CD definitely marked a difference in the way people treated music. The vinyl commands a certain kind of reverence because it's a big object and quite fragile so you handle it rather carefully, and it's expensive so you pay attention to how it's looked after.”

“If you go to Japan, they're still buying vinyl, and they want the education. They know who's playing on what tracks from the '60s and the '70s - who the guitar player is, who the drummer is, who the producer was, what studio it was recorded in. That's how I grew up listening to music. We bought albums. We read the liner notes. It was important to know the whole history behind it.”
