“It may go without saying that the majority of the musicians in this book hate "musicians". Hence walking into a music store of any kind besides a record shop is tantamount to visiting the dentist.”
― Eric Davidson, We Never Learn: The Gunk Punk Undergut, 1988-2001

“Communism would exit the world stage revealed for what it truly was: fascism, without fascism’s ability to make the trains run on time.”

“There are two categories of producers. Let me explain. [The} first one produces an artist the way they want to hear them, without a whole lot of regard to what the artist is really like, or how they see themselves. I'd like to think that I'm in the other category. I liked the artists that I produced – a lot, or else I wouldn't produce them, and what I wanted to do was enhance what they do already. I just wanted to make it better, more polished, put the best frame around it I could.”
― Shel Talmy
