Cutting vocals in the daytime. It’s hard to be moody when it’s so sunny outsi- wait a minute… No, it’s not.
“ The passage of time is a funny thing. Minutes can seem like seconds when you’re trying to remember, and those same minutes feel like a lifetime when you’re trying to forget.
Currently compiling the second edition of the 21st Century Disco mix series. I’ve enough gems to do three or four of these right now, but that might be a little silly. (and yes, I’ve been way too busy listening to records to shave… for like, the last three months)
“ I think many young people don’t pay for music, but I’m not sure that’s a generational phenomenon so much as part of being young. If you think about piracy, it tends to appeal to those with more time than money - who in the US and Europe tend to be young. Once people get older, they tend to have more money than time. If you apply enough law enforcement pressure to keep piracy inconvenient, what you’re really doing is raising its cost in terms of time. At the same time, new online music services are making legal commerce more convenient. There will always be people who pirate everything or almost everything - I’ve heard estimates of about 15 percent. They may be lost to the business. But that’s OK as long as we reduce the amount of casual piracy others engage in.
