Brian Eno Quotes
I still do mostly listen to CDs. I think that every format really is a different way of listening.

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.
