I get off on hearing other people's voices. I like voices: they're my favourite things on records.
I know that I loved music before I loved movies, simply because I didn't see movies as a kid.
People in America, when listening to radio, like to lean forward. People in Britain like to lean back.
You see, to me, the art of music is listening to it, not playing it. The real art of it is hearing it.
Seeing young people caring about sound again and realizing that it's not cool to not have good sound, that means a lot.
I don't get starstruck by musicians anymore, but podcasts? I'm a total podcast groupie.
If you want to truly take in the subtleties and detail of your favorite records, then enjoy them the same way you would a movie. Make music an event, not a side dish.
The problem with listening to music today is that there's so much of it everywhere. We've got used to hearing music without actually listening to it.
