Im one of those foolish people who believe the glory days of the record industry arent behind us. Theyre actually ahead of us.
If you're part of a record company, you're a manufactured product. It doesn't mean that you're not talented.
I would go to radio stations and they were supposed to be interviewing me and playing my record and they would say, We're playing too many women right now, we can't play your record.
You go in and record and sing them some and you go back in and rerecord and sing them some more. That's kind of how I did this album [The Art of Elegance].
Every time I bought a Rock and Roll record, I bought a classical record at the same time. I like each as well as the other.
When you record something, you never know who's going to hear it.
The big labels have less of a stranglehold on artists and how they record and where they go.
I try and make little stories. Whether it's with a pencil or with bits of records, it's really the same thing.
Because my mother was in love with Bobby Darin, I grew up with his records playing in our house all the time.
In reality, there's a limit to putting a record out yourself. When it comes to working with major record companies in the context of them owning anything, though, that will never happen. Ever. In my life.
Could Artificial Intelligence End the Electronic Medical Record Nightmare?
I'm just trying to make a good record that my fans will dig.
I love country music, blues, and punk, and one day I might make those kinds of records.
This record was supposed to come out in July already, but it just got delayed and delayed, so, well, I guess it was just coincidence.
Venom were the first thrash band i heard on record-it really pushed me to the best!
When you record, you live with what you recorded for many many years, but when you play it's just an hour and a half and then once it's over it's over.
We're changing things, in many cases in irreparable ways, and that will certainly be recorded in the geological record.
At times the [radio telescope] records exhibited a feature characteristic of interference, occurring some time later than the passage of the two known sources. This intermittent feature was curious, and I recall saying once that we would have to investigate the origin of that interference some day. We joked that it was probably due to the faulty ignition of some farm hand returning from a date.
I didn't really feel any pressure when I've made records, I haven't as yet anyway. I feel when I'm making a record that I'm so excited about making new songs that when I'm doing demos of new songs, as soon as I make one that's really different I get really excited about the record, I don't care about the last record anymore.
To remain relevant though, I think making great records is the key.
You go through life experiences. Each record captures a different turning point in my life.
Records can ruin you. That's why it's important to be as intimately familiar as possible with the history of recorded music, I guess. In a way, it's an argument for record collecting.
I did my gospel record, but there was nothing really of it. Maybe a hundred people bought it. But it's one of those things on the internet that people find and they make into a big deal.
I missed out on the Spice Girls. I missed out on all those big pop phenomenon and missed out even on the Madonna records. It's okay, cuz I'm playing catch-up on everything now.
I wasn't allowed to listen to a lot of music growing up. It wasn't until I started to make my gospel record when I was around 14 or 15 that I started to be exposed to more outside influences.
