Quote

There's more well-known artists who aren't making as good songs as people who are just coming out of nowhere. That seems to be more typical in the last few years than ever.

In Japan, you get on the bullet train or the airplane, and I loved the little speeches the stewardesses would do. They even do little speeches before you play gigs.

Image
Somebody else is satisfied by five Bentleys. I'm satisfied by a beautiful string arrangement.

Image
I'm always working on my own music, too. I've been working on a record for a few years.
Beck
Image
When I pull out vinyl - which isn't that often anymore - it's undeniable that I get a different feeling. There's a different physiology happening between the sound waves and the body that doesn't happen with music playing off the computer.

Image
Set your guitars and banjos on fire and before you write a song smoke a pack of whiskey and it'll all take care of itself.

I didn't even have a computer until like 10 years ago. I was still using a typewriter until 2002.

I didn't want to do something typical.

Art is the child of Nature yes, her darling child, in whom we trace the features of the mother's face, her aspect and her attitude.

For the records I've work on over the last 10 years, I get sent the really compressed version and the non-compressed version, and oftentimes you end up going with the more compressed one because it's what people's ears are attuned to. I think the bigger problem is saturation and people being desensitized.

I've said for years to wives and mothers, you must start to see yourself as Sarah Connor. You must equip your children with the information they need to survive an ever-changing world.

Image
I think it's interesting being American, the expectations for an American guy, and the image that has to be projected. 'Oh, I can't wear pink,' that kind of stuff. There's none of that in Europe.

Your heart is a drum keeping time with everyone.

There are plenty of Minutemen. People willing to be Minutemen. Where are the people that want to be George Washington? Where are the Benjamin Franklins? Where is Sam Adams? Where is John Adams?
Beck
Image
I do think music sounds better when it's on tape and more simply recorded.

Image
I don't remember half of the new bands, though - and I think that's kind of where we're going. It's turning into just a big derby of songs. May the best song win.

You can't write if you can't relate.
Beck
Image
With my own music, I try to get away from things that are familiar and things that would be easy for me to go to.
Beck
Image
I know my own limitations. And if somebody says, I need songs for a cartoon garage band - they look like this and they should sound like this, it gives you a direction. I like having that kind of assignment.
Beck
Image
I'm just taking one step at a time. I could zigzag one way, but it's not usually on purpose.

It's so easy to criticize your own time, and I see that as a problem, even for myself, as a listener.
