I began both auditioning with Pearl Jam and recording for Eleven. In the fall of 1994, I joined Pearl Jam.
I finished the recordings I had started with Eleven. Matt Cameron joined for the rest of those sessions.
My mother was the only one who encouraged and inspired me for singing. She was singing all the time in the house, playing records also.
I'm recording freely, and if I make a song, I release it immediately, so I'm more likely to believe in one song at a time as opposed to albums.
My girlfriend at the time convinced me to send these songs to Cavity Search. When they wanted to put out my record I was totally shocked.
I write all the time, even if it means recording in the hotel room. I write on the plane, anywhere, anytime I'm inspired or have ideas.
I'm no longer a shoeaholic, but I used to be. I used to spend all my time on tour either buying records or shoes.
I've been recording since 1993. It was a hobby for six of those years. In 1999, I decided to do it full time and take it seriously.
A lot of very popular mainstream artists are products of record companies and marketing companies, and any time anyone can stand outside of that, that's interesting.
I say I have a midlife crisis every time I start and finish a record.
At the time, the only options were playing the local county fair. Now with American Idol and younger recording artists that have come out, there is more of an opportunity.
I don't believe that a lot of the things I hear on the air today are going to be played for as long a time as Coleman Hawkins records or Brahms concertos.
Substance must emanate from spirit and is nothing else than the record of the spirit's conception of itself finding expression in space and time.
I didn't really like 'You Raise Me Up' at the time we recorded it; now it's my favourite Westlife song.
As every teenage girl, I was absolutely obsessed with The Beatles, and the first record I bought was 'Please Please Me.' I'd have been 13 at the time.
The Patriot Act unleashed the FBI to search your email, travel and credit records without even a suspicion of wrongdoing.
Vince: What's the name of your label? Rob: Top Five Records.
The Count: Here's a rather long record. I hope I'm here at the end of it.
Profile has half the publishing and they control and administer the publishing and distribute and own the records, so our group is a 10-point crew. But we got a lot of money off of the shows.
There's poetry in being the band that can sell out Wembley but also makes a record in a garage. I don't like doing what people expect me to do.
Breaking records is not something you expect to be doing. That's like a sports thing, it's not usually a comedy and writing thing.
