Society gets by from the help of its citizens. ~ Brian Joyce
Indie Music quotes by Brian Joyce
I guess it was only fitting that to them PUNK was a four letter word. However, to people like Dylan and I-punk was our hearts-our souls. We grew up with a lot of uncertainties. To be a teenager isn't always pretty, and our music reflected that. ~ Brian Joyce
Indie Music quotes by Brian Joyce
Goliath was the best thing that ever happened to David ~ Carla Lynne Hall
Indie Music quotes by Carla Lynne Hall
How ironic it is to have your past-self staring at you ~ Mary Gehad
Indie Music quotes by Mary Gehad
Indie music is 'it' now. It's kind of a revolution to the music: 1980s, 1990s music was getting very sanitized; they were complying with the music industry. Music was getting more and more dead in a way. Now, because of the social climate that's very severe, the artists are compelled to start being real. It's really great that indie music is now. ~ Yoko Ono
Indie Music quotes by Yoko Ono
I'm not talking about what came later, indie music, or whatever you want to call it, but the music that came before that - that's an important story. So many interviews with musicians get the time or context wrong. You have these older bands, usually men, who tell stories about "Oh, we got into this huge fight, this guy punched that guy," that's the wrong sort of story. My view of the time is truly pioneering. ~ Ian MacKaye
Indie Music quotes by Ian MacKaye
Character isn't something you talk about; it's something you show through your actions-through your every day habits. ~ Brian Joyce
Indie Music quotes by Brian Joyce
You know-portraits are odd things." "How do you figure?" I asked. "Well at the time, that portrait told the whole story. It told the truth. We were a family-a happy family. Now that same portrait just looks like a lie. ~ Brian Joyce
Indie Music quotes by Brian Joyce
We like to believe that we live in a grand age of creative individualism. We look back at the midcentury era in which the Berkeley researchers conducted their creativity studies, and feel superior. Unlike the starched-shirted conformists of the 1950s, we hang posters of Einstein on our walls, his tongue stuck out iconoclastically. We consume indie music and films, and generate our own online content. We "think different" (even if we got the idea from Apple Computer's famous ad campaign). But the way we organize many of our most important institutions - our schools and our workplaces - tells a very different story. ~ Susan Cain
Indie Music quotes by Susan Cain
Dream-start with dream. Start tonight-become who you want-dream big!" He became animated at this point, "No money needed for dreams. Dreams are free. ~ Brian Joyce
Indie Music quotes by Brian Joyce
I'm really into the indie-music scene and listen to a lot of De La Soul. ~ J. R. Celski
Indie Music quotes by J. R. Celski
With the indie kids you have to remember this: they really think that what they do matters in some way. They reckon that history will care. (They don't know that history will have other shit to be getting on with.) The indie kids figure that they're passing on the torch or some fucking thing. That, just as they were influenced by someone - the Velvet Underground, Jonathan Richman, the Stooges, whoever - then, in the future, young bands will be influenced by them. Maybe so. Maybe a few thousand malnourished cockless freaks scattered around the globe will give a shit. So what? Real people don't.. ~ John Niven
Indie Music quotes by John Niven
The price of coming from a small town is that everyone knows your story. Your book has been read, shelved, dusted, and re-read by everybody. ~ Brian Joyce
Indie Music quotes by Brian Joyce
I'm not really interested in the audience's enjoyment,' Cave mumbles once he has changed into clean pants. 'It doesn't bother me one way or another. I just don't give a shit. People feel more and more disappointed with each concert because less and less happens. It's really easy to suck an audience in. Like, I can wiggle my bum and back-flip on my head and they love it. I could make an audience love me until the end of my days. There's just no point in it any more. I wish they'd just ... die. ~ Antonella Gambotto-Burke
Indie Music quotes by Antonella Gambotto-Burke
I guess what's most important is that we chose to live with our hearts open and to let our experiences show us the way towards our brightest days. ~ Brian Joyce
Indie Music quotes by Brian Joyce
I think in the world of indie music there's this sort of false modesty. ~ Alex Kapranos
Indie Music quotes by Alex Kapranos
Christopher was wearing a suit and adorned make-up. As long as I had known him, he never wore a suit or make-up. The look of him defenseless to his appearance saddened me. ~ Brian Joyce
Indie Music quotes by Brian Joyce
The only music I was listening to for ages was old soul. So I wasn't listening to a lot of new music - especially indie music. ~ Florence Welch
Indie Music quotes by Florence Welch
That night, he laid in his bed thinking about all the possibilities. They came like waves in his mind. At first they came slow, then gradually built up speed, cresting into full on dreams, until finally, they broke onto the shore with all of their reality. First dreams, then nightmares. ~ Brian Joyce
Indie Music quotes by Brian Joyce
It's funny how books can change you. You open up a book and one minute you are who you've always been, then you read some random passage and you become someone else. ~ Brian Joyce
Indie Music quotes by Brian Joyce
What were we, but kids with apartments and jobs anyway? ~ Brian Joyce
Indie Music quotes by Brian Joyce
In times such as these, life often begs us to seek answers when in reality there are only questions available. ~ Brian Joyce
Indie Music quotes by Brian Joyce
Ah, reality TV: where opportunists delight in exposing opportunism! It's kind of like the indie music scene. ~ Diablo Cody
Indie Music quotes by Diablo Cody
Couples swayed and embraced to the beat as the singer's vocals soared above a group of confused teenagers and twenty-something's. ~ Brian Joyce
Indie Music quotes by Brian Joyce
A dissection of music perception and creation that starts slowly and inexorably builds to a grand finish. I loved reading that listening to music coordinates more disparate parts of the brain than almost anything else
and playing music uses even more! Despite illuminating a lot of what goes on this book doesn't "spoil" enjoyment- it only deepens the beautiful mystery that is music. ~ David Byrne
Indie Music quotes by David Byrne
Does this mean that religious consumption will increase online? That could be. We do not know yet, but to expect religion to disappear because of online technology is like expecting people to stop listening to music because Napster, Spotify and Wimp are offering us all the music we want online ~ Torkel Brekke
Indie Music quotes by Torkel Brekke
When I was a kid, I was following black soul music. ~ Robert Plant
Indie Music quotes by Robert Plant
The arts are not just a nice thing to have or to do if there is free time or if one can afford it. Rather, paintings and poetry, music and fashion, design and dialogue, they all define who we are as a people and provide an account of our history for the next generation. ~ Michelle Obama
Indie Music quotes by Michelle Obama
The autonomy of art that emerged through Post-Impressionism, Cubism, Mondrian, and the Russian Constructivism had seen painting develop independent of imitations or decoration, and so the content of art became much closer to that of music. ~ Neville Weston
Indie Music quotes by Neville Weston
Because I'm pushing my body so hard already, the last thing I want to do is have music that's really too strong, in my head. ~ Michelle Kwan
Indie Music quotes by Michelle Kwan
Music critics are, for the most part, bitter people who are intent at dragging people down for being successful at what they want to do, which is probably music. The oddity of being a critic is: You don't get a diploma, you just decide you're a critic. If someone listens to your opinion rather than their own, it's their mistake. Any critic's top 10, any year, it's something controversial or something that will make them look hipper-than-thou. The whole critic game, we've never played. ~ Paul Stanley
Indie Music quotes by Paul Stanley
There is a subject - there is a research that says a man thinks about sex every 12 seconds. And so when an artist expresses something that's sexual in music it is a reflection of our reality. If we want that reality changed, then we have to do things that affect the core. ~ Russell Simmons
Indie Music quotes by Russell Simmons
On the one hand it is said that the aim and object of music is to excite emotions, i.e., pleasurable emotions; on the other hand, the emotions are said to be the subject matter which musical works are intended to illustrate. Both propositions are alike in this, that one is as false as the other. ~ Eduard Hanslick
Indie Music quotes by Eduard Hanslick
I was only a folk singer for about two years ... . By that time, it wasn't really folk music anymore. It was some new American phenomenon. Later, they called it singer/songwriters. Or art songs, which I liked best. Some people get nervous about that word. Art. They think it's a pretentious word from the giddyap. To me, ... the word art has never lost its vitality. ~ Joni Mitchell
Indie Music quotes by Joni Mitchell
Very rarely do I work on mechanics now. I tend to solve problems within the music itself. ~ Marc-Andre Hamelin
Indie Music quotes by Marc-Andre Hamelin
I plan to stay in music. I plan to keep making records. ~ Joan Jett
Indie Music quotes by Joan Jett
I like to say, jazz music is kind of like my musical equivalent of comfort food. You know, it's always where I go back to when I just want to feel sort of grounded. ~ Molly Ringwald
Indie Music quotes by Molly Ringwald
I went to school and studied music for a year at USC, which unlocked a bunch of doors for me in terms of my relationship to music. ~ Flea
Indie Music quotes by Flea
At the same time, I definitely want to expand my fan base but not at the expense of prostituting my music or heart. ~ George Duke
Indie Music quotes by George Duke
This is a way for artists to communicate directly to their fans. If you think of an artist like Bruno Mars, he's using Spotify, creating playlists and listening to music through it. ~ Daniel Ek
Indie Music quotes by Daniel Ek
It's great when you can just focus your whole attention on the music and hear all of the decisions and choices that were made. ~ Michael Cera
Indie Music quotes by Michael Cera
I have always loved music; whoso has skill in this art, is of a good temperament, fitted for all things. We must teach music in schools; a schoolmaster ought to have skill in music, or I would not regard him; neither should we ordain young men as preachers, unless they have been well exercised in music ~ Martin Luther
Indie Music quotes by Martin Luther
The music of language became extremely important to me, and obvious to me. By the time I was seven I was writing myself. I was a poet. ~ June Jordan
Indie Music quotes by June Jordan
Music is ... A higher revelation than all Wisdom & Philosophy ~ Ludwig Van Beethoven
Indie Music quotes by Ludwig Van Beethoven
I'm layering away: sauce, noodles, I belong to you, cheese, sauce, my heart is yours, noodles, cheese, I hear your soul in your music, cheese, cheese, CHEESE ... ~ Jandy Nelson
Indie Music quotes by Jandy Nelson
I love music and I guess I have less expectations or pressure to kind of put on myself because the music hasn't been some huge sensation. ~ Mandy Moore
Indie Music quotes by Mandy Moore
Universities are an example of organizations dominated wholly by intellectuals; yet, outside pure science, they have not been an optimal milieu for the unfolding of creative talents. In neither art, music, literature, technology and social theory, nor planning have the Universities figured as originators or as seedbeds of new talents and energies. ~ Eric Hoffer
Indie Music quotes by Eric Hoffer
My work has been marginalized as far as the jazz-business complex is concerned, or the contemporary-music complex. ~ Anthony Braxton
Indie Music quotes by Anthony Braxton
My area of research is something that in all fairness has no practical usability whatsoever and the thing is I'm often asked to apologize for that. It is interesting to me that people ask 'what's the point of doing that if it's not useful?' But they never ask that, or do they very rarely ask that about art or literature or music. Those things are not gonna produce a better toaster. ~ Lawrence M. Krauss
Indie Music quotes by Lawrence M. Krauss
I love dancing to the radio every morning, to start the day with such passion. Otherwise, life is too sad. My little daughter and I like dancing to classical music: Bach and Schubert. ~ Anna Mouglalis
Indie Music quotes by Anna Mouglalis
In a personal way, to do with family and the father-son relationship, in a kind of artistic way with regard to him being an art student. I also studied the visual arts at Lancaster University. I then decided to become an actor as he was becoming a musician. And then as an actor/performer, we have similar sort of interests - music hall and that whole world. So, there's a lot that I felt connected with. ~ Andy Serkis
Indie Music quotes by Andy Serkis
In many a piece of music, it's the pause or the rest that gives the piece its beauty and its shape. And I know I, as a writer, will often try to include a lot of empty space on the page so that the reader can complete my thoughts and sentences and so that her imagination has room to breathe. ~ Pico Iyer
Indie Music quotes by Pico Iyer
We do a lot of light classical programming with that, too ... obviously ... a lot of Tchaikovsky music, Grieg, things like that which have become less classical with classical concerts. ~ Skitch Henderson
Indie Music quotes by Skitch Henderson
I like music because ... its expressive, you can convey whatever you're thinking through a song. And it's the best respite for me anyway to do it through music. So I like music because you can express and let your soul out through it. ~ Paolo Nutini
Indie Music quotes by Paolo Nutini
Everything was a song if you knew how to listen. ~ Jean Gill
Indie Music quotes by Jean Gill
I think my music speaks for itself - it backs me up. ~ Drake Bell
Indie Music quotes by Drake Bell
The Urban Literate Southern California Sub-Group of the Early Atomic Period has not yet produced a distinct body of folk music of its own. ~ Sam Hinton
Indie Music quotes by Sam Hinton
I have absorbed my life now. I am ready for my music to unfold. I know time flies, but before the end of this year, the album will be out. Even if it kills me. ~ Neneh Cherry
Indie Music quotes by Neneh Cherry
Asia is the continent rhythm forgot. At best Asian music is off-brand American pop, like Sonny Bono in a karaoke bar. At worst Asian music sounds as if a truck full of wind chimes collided
with a stack of empty oil drums during a birdcall contest. ~ P. J. O'Rourke
Indie Music quotes by P. J. O'Rourke
You can sit behind your computer and listen to music via a program or from the Internet and also watch performances on the Internet. There's motivation to sit at home. You don't have to get dressed up, or be social and for those old enough you don't risk DUI charges by drinking at home at the computer. ~ Steve Mahoney
Indie Music quotes by Steve Mahoney
I do love the music aspect of the Internet. The Internet made me. ~ King Krule
Indie Music quotes by King Krule
The thing that happened with the music business, there are no stores anymore where you can buy music. It's all an online business now, and that's, you know - the bookstore culture is a very vibrant part of the American experience that we're very reluctant to see go away. ~ Jonathan Galassi
