I'm a big Arcade Fire fan. I love the way they make records - 'Funeral' being my favorite.
I started in a research lab for TV cameras, then I worked at a tape duplication facility. That was the first introduction for me to recorded music and hi-fi.
All I've ever wanted to do was play music and go on the road and make records.
I'll always write music. Whether I release a record, whether I let the public hear it or not, I'm always writing music.
The tastes of country music fans are not limited to the narrow range defined by consultants and programmers and record company moguls.
I'm recording an album. It's sort of techno mixed with garbage - you, know, intense in-your-face music.
I'd experimented with so many different types of music. I had these folky songs I'd written and recorded, but something wasn't quite right.
But that's the problem with playing new music sometimes before the record comes out: You have a bunch of yayhoots with opinions.
I download, like, forty songs a day, I'm a big music collector and a big record collector.
Obviously, I want to sell records, but I do it because I find it therapeutic. In music I can be myself.
Any real record person knows that the number one most powerful marketing tool when it comes to music is repetition.
I'll have the music, and then I'll just turn the microphone on, press Play and Record and sing. And whatever comes out ends up being the melody.
I would be involved with music whether I had a career or not. I'm always going to be writing songs and recording them.
What is normally called religion is what I would tend to call music - participating in music, listening to music, making records and singing.
I would like to promote the concept of a partnership of insurance companies, physicians and hospitals in deploying a basic framework for an electronic medical records system that is affordable.
Adversity causes some men to break; others to break records.
You might as well ask why a middle-aged man with no criminal record might put a paper bag over his head and rob a bank. I acted out of personal desperation.
Language exists less to record the actual than to liberate the imagination.
I can't write another breakup record. That would be a real cliche.
The Rockwell magazine cover was more a part of the American reality than a record of it.
I think the fans really wanna hear the songs the way they sound on the record.
