China's got a billion people and a hit record over there is a million records. You know that ain't right.
I am a record executive and I shall be right there in your face with my records.
My job of being a musician in a recording studio has nothing to do with being a musician being on tour performing.
In the past, so many of my records, really, have been sketches for records that never really got made.
I'm not a slave to the recording industry. I have the freedom to make an album that I want to make and do it the way I want.
I'm a huge fan of home recording. I think it levels the playing field. You don't need $100,000 to record a studio CD.
I did a record with a producer, and the good producers eat up the budget, so I didn't have any budget left to produce this record. I had to produce it myself.
I don't know if I have enough guts to do a whole standard jazz record.
You can get so many sounds out of one record. Every record can be used in some way.
I would be content if I had nothing but a tape-recorder. I could still write songs and record them.
I couldn't have recorded this record 15 years ago. My voice didn't have the depth to pull these songs off.
The actual work of recording a record or making a film just requires that you consciously block the time out to do that and nothing else. That's what I do.
I think it would be wrong to consider 'Ashes and Fire' a love album. The record is obsessed with time. I believe that there is a kinder view of the self on this record.
My kids love vinyl, I had to teach them how to put the needle on the records. Now they're worried about scratching the records, but it's incredible!
My mother knew how to read music and everything. But I just kinda learned off of records. And so, I was listening to records and I'd play 'em over and over.
So, in the course of events, I had an opportunity to come in contact with Colin Matthews, through the Rex Foundation sponsoring recordings of various music that was being recorded over there.
I have a 10-year track record of writing for the Jewish community.
To be truthful, Jay-Z wouldn't have a quarter of the records sold today if it wasn't for the white people buying his records.
I never race for records. The motivation to try to beat the record is not enough to continue. You have to enjoy it.
I collect records pretty assiduously, so I've got, like, a massive record collection. I still DJ.
I've recorded 25 or 30 albums. I know that sometimes when you work with producers who are kinda dictators, it doesn't help you make a better record.
