  • Quotes
    There's a lot about records that you cannot feel from a CD. I know that's an era that's gone, but for a lot of people my age, it was a very important thing. How a record slips out. The crackle when it plays. It's lovely, very alive. CDs are not alive. I know everything's about comfort these days - that's why there's digital instead of analog. Analog is more beautiful than digital, really, but we go for comfort.
