Record Quotes
-
'The Black Parade' is an epic, theatrical, orchestral, big record that is also a concept album.
Gerard Way
My Chemical Romance
-
People assumed we called the record 'Murray Street' because of its proximity to the World Trade Centre, but that wasn't it at all. Before the attacks, I had simply been walking around taking pictures of things, and I had this photograph of the street sign. We felt it was somewhat evocative and decided to use it on the back cover of the album.
Lee Ranaldo
Sonic Youth
-
My goal for 'Black Rock' was pretty simple: I wanted to make the feel-good record of the summer.

Black Country Communion
-
I remember in 2016 when I got signed to my record label Good Soldier, which is a very small indie label. They took a big risk on me because ballads were the furthest thing from cool at the time.
Freya Ridings
-
Hospice is sort of told like a dream, where things are constantly transforming and confusing, time is arbitrary and illogical, locations become different locations. The record’s about life becoming indistinguishable from a dream, or in this case, recurring nightmares.
Peter Silberman
The Antlers

History in Burckhardt's words is 'the record of what one age finds worthy of note in another.' The past is intelligible to us only in light of the present; and we can fully understand the present only in light of the past. To enable man to understand the society of the past and to increase his mastery over the society of the present is the dual function of history.
Edward Hallett Carr
-
The biggest reward from that record was the enthusiasm everyone had to sing on it. The Grammy nominations and the chart positions are great, but ultimately the way you interact with other musicians is the most important thing to me.
Chris Botti
Incognito

I thought my Beatles LPs sounded pretty good on a record player, but that was before I had heard a CD.
Alastair Wood
-
I didn't want the record to be cold and I don't think it's cold at all. I felt it was very people oriented.
Jon Crosby
-
It is a common sentence that Knowledge is power; but who hath duly considered or set forth the power of Ignorance? Knowledge slowly builds up what Ignorance in an hour pulls down. Knowledge, through patient and frugal centuries, enlarges discovery and makes record of it; Ignorance, wanting its day's dinner, lights a fire with the record, and gives a flavour to its one roast with the burnt souls of many generations.
George Eliot
-
I don't recall what the first record I bought was, but I definitely remember hearing Creedence's 'Born on the Bayou' and going out and buying it. The guitar and drums in that band were really good. I loved the words to the title track, and Fogerty's voice sounded just great.
Harry Dean Stanton
-
Nuclear energy, in terms of an overall safety record, is better than other energy.
Bill Gates
-
I shall discuss the broad patterns of hominoid evolution, an exercise made enjoyable by the need to integrate diverse kinds of information, and use that as a vehicle to speculate about hominoid origins, an event for which there is no recognized fossil record. Hence, an opportunity to exercise some imagination.
David Pilbeam
-
The Rockwell magazine cover was more a part of the American reality than a record of it.
Arthur Danto
-
We wanted to do something better. We didn't want to do the same record twice. With the second one, we were more attuned to each other as a band.
Paul Thomson
Franz Ferdinand
-
Oscar Charleston was the Willie Mays of his day. Nobody ever played center field better than Willie Mays. Suppose they had never given Willie a chance, and we said that, would anybody believe there was a kid in Alabama who was that good? Or there was a black guy in Atlanta who might break Babe Ruth's home run record? No.
Monford Merrill "Monte" Irvin
-
I try to record music that people can relate to.
Jason Aldean
-
I'm very curious about David Bowie's new record 2016. I'm very, very... I'm just incredibly curious, I want to see what's happening with that. I don't really know who else is putting out records, we've had our heads buried working on ours. I haven't really been paying much attention lately.
Patrick Stump
Fall Out Boy
