I was young, but to me that was underground music. I had never heard anything like Venom or any of that stuff growing up in Louisville. That was sort of the only weird records I could find. All that stuff would be in the import section. And sometimes there would be some sort of goth type of stuff. But that was the stuff I was attracted to. ~ David Pajo
Underground Music quotes by David Pajo
I know Diplo knows a lot about underground music culture - he was one of the people to put me onto music like that when I used to listen to the Mad Decent Mixes. It was like, 'Oh, he knows what I want.' ~ Kreayshawn
Underground Music quotes by Kreayshawn
Underground dance music - in the nicest way possible - it's amateur ~ Axwell
Underground Music quotes by Axwell
In eras past, mainstream culture was blandly, blindly complacent, so underground music was angry and dissatisfied. But now, mainstream culture isn't complacent, it's stupid and angry; underground culture reacts by becoming smarter, more serene. That's not wimpy - it's powerful and productive. ~ Michael Azerrad
Underground Music quotes by Michael Azerrad
I got caught up on drugs for a few years, I'm off it, I'm very happy, got two kids and a family and everything. And like I said I'm making the underground music, and keeping it real. ~ Vanilla Ice
Underground Music quotes by Vanilla Ice
In underground music, there seems to be this real inability for people to express themselves in any kind of heroic or mythological way. There's this idea that we're all normal joes, and that creating a persona onstage or having schtick is somehow false and misleading and evil. ~ Ian Svenonius
Underground Music quotes by Ian Svenonius
The first thing I learned was the 'St Louis Blues' when I was eight. Both my grandmothers, my mother and uncle played the piano. This was post-war Britain, and they played boogie woogie and blues, which was the underground music of the time. ~ Jools Holland
Underground Music quotes by Jools Holland
Since I loved underground music, I tried to carve a space for feminism within it. Those were my hopes. ~ Kathleen Hanna
Underground Music quotes by Kathleen Hanna
There are artists that are using computers in all genres - Kendrick Lamar's music is electronic-made, and Taylor Swift is the same thing. There's a lot of pop music, underground music, and music for films made with computers. In that sense, it's not going to go away. ~ Skrillex
Underground Music quotes by Skrillex
If you want to talk about EDM, let's talk about Detroit underground music, Chicago house and let's talk about all the things that got us to this place. We all get on the train of dance music. We need to all respectfully look through the carriages that have come before us and realize how we got here. ~ Goldie
Underground Music quotes by Goldie
There is nothing I like more than pure underground music ~ Kurt Cobain
Underground Music quotes by Kurt Cobain
My parents didn't really restrict my movement, so I got involved in the underground music scene and the activism scene; I was doing some volunteering in food relief. I spent a lot of time throughout the city in poor areas, even though my family lived in a wealthy area. ~ Jess Row
Underground Music quotes by Jess Row
I feel like Harriet Tubman, except I am trying to free people through underground music, to free themselves creatively and inspirationally. ~ Janelle Monae
Underground Music quotes by Janelle Monae
Everything I am inside is pink and blue. Pastels without, soft clouds above, blue sky everywhere with an occasional rain but from renewal, not anger. My mind has no boundaries. Its floor is poetry, the wallpaper music. The windows are always open to allow the humor to drift in and out. The furniture is made of air, I am forever floating. ~ Kimberly Jo Smith
Underground Music quotes by Kimberly Jo Smith
Record labels, which used to have complete control, are essentially irrelevant. The process of a band exposing itself to the world is extremely democratic and there are no barriers. Music is no longer a commodity, it's an environment, or atmospheric element. Consumers have much more choice and you see people indulging in the specificity of their tastes dramatically more. They only bother with music they like. ~ Steve Albini
Underground Music quotes by Steve Albini
The music goes into people in a totally different way than words. There's air, there's the sound of words, there's touch, there's music. All of those things have a really distinct way of meeting and entering people's bodies and souls. It's the most beautiful part about humans; that we make music. ~ Mirah
Underground Music quotes by Mirah
Music has charms to soothe a savage breast, to soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak. I've read that things inanimate have moved, and, as with living souls, have been inform'd, by magic numbers and persuasive sound. ~ William Congreve
Underground Music quotes by William Congreve
I go stay a week in these little towns that don't have an art outlet and ... go to the schools and play some of the old Texas music, sort of 'go through the Texas country roots' is what they call it. ~ Johnny Gimble
Underground Music quotes by Johnny Gimble
I think of music as a menu. I can't eat the same thing every day. ~ Carlos Santana
Underground Music quotes by Carlos Santana
It's always on everyone's list, like, 'What's New Orleans like?' I think people have a pre-conceived idea, like it's just Mardi Gras and Bourbon Street. But really, there's so much culture, the music's great, the food's great. It's not good for the waistline! But I'm actually from the South, I'm from Georgia, so the weather doesn't bother me. ~ Sung Kang
Underground Music quotes by Sung Kang
Music and woman I cannot but give way to, whatever my business is. ~ Samuel Pepys
Underground Music quotes by Samuel Pepys
Where the Lord closes a door, somewhere He opens a window. ~ Julie Andrews
Underground Music quotes by Julie Andrews
I want story, wit, music, wryness, color, and a sense of reality in what I read, and I try to get it in what I write. ~ John D. MacDonald
Underground Music quotes by John D. MacDonald
I listened to all types of music, and obviously when I got to Seattle I was very much aware of the music scene there. ~ Randy Johnson
Underground Music quotes by Randy Johnson
Even the song of birds, which we can bring under no musical rule, seems to have more freedom, and therefore more for taste, than a song of a human being which is produced in accordance with all the rules of music; for we very much sooner weary of the latter, if it is repeated often and at length. Here, however, we probably confuse our participation in the mirth of a little creature that we love, with the beauty of its song; for if this were exactly imitated by man (as sometimes the notes of the nightingale are) it would seem to our ear quite devoid of taste. ~ Immanuel Kant
Underground Music quotes by Immanuel Kant
In Music Through the Eyes of Faith, Harold Best defines excellence as "the process of becoming better than I once was. ~ Bob Kauflin
Underground Music quotes by Bob Kauflin
When I die, bury me on my stomach and let the world kiss my ass. ~ LL Cool J
Underground Music quotes by LL Cool J
The daily routine of most adults is so heavy and artificial that we are closed off to much of the world. We have to do this in order to get our work done. I think one purpose of art is to get us out of those routines. When we hear music or poetry or stories, the world opens up again. ~ Ursula K. Le Guin
Underground Music quotes by Ursula K. Le Guin
Creativity is seeing what everyone else sees, but then thinking a new thought that has never been thought before and expressing it somehow.It could be with art, a sculpture, music or even in science. The difference, however, between scientific creativity and any other kind of creativity, is that no matter how long you wait, no one else will ever compose "Beethoven's Ninth Symphony" except for Beethoven. No matter what you do, no one else will paint Van Gogh's "Starry Night." Only Van Gogh could do that because it came from his creativity. ~ Neil DeGrasse Tyson
Underground Music quotes by Neil DeGrasse Tyson
To say that an artist sells out means that an artist is making a conscious choice to compromise his music, to to weaken his music for the sake of commercial gain. ~ Ken Burns
Underground Music quotes by Ken Burns
Musical myths speak with authority about our society, its fragility, its strengths, its desires, and its limits. Music becomes a wise version of the utopian messenger, pleasing us with his account of an ideal land but also warning us, in his tones, of all the dangers. ~ Edward Rothstein
Underground Music quotes by Edward Rothstein
Four thousand years ago, we, the people of the Indus River basin, had cities that were laid out on grids and boasted underground sewers, while the ancestors of those who would invade and colonize America were illiterate barbarians. ~ Mohsin Hamid
Underground Music quotes by Mohsin Hamid
I just want to make my music, and I want it to stand on its own. ~ Norah Jones
Underground Music quotes by Norah Jones
The end of all good music is to affect the soul. ~ Claudio Monteverdi
Underground Music quotes by Claudio Monteverdi
She was buried in his flesh. She throbbed in the beat of his pulses. She was wine in his blood, a music in his heart. ~ Thomas Wolfe
Underground Music quotes by Thomas Wolfe
I had returned to piano-playing and music lessons when I had turned seventy-five (having written about how even older people can learn new skills, I thought it was time to take my own advice). ~ Oliver Sacks
Underground Music quotes by Oliver Sacks
Keep doing what you do, and people that enjoy what you do are gonna buy your music and love on you. ~ Marvin Sapp
Underground Music quotes by Marvin Sapp
I never heard so many kids talk about just doing anything to be famous. I mean, yeah, fame is part of the deal when you're a kid and you think, I wanna go into music, but everybody that I knew was really doing it because of their love for it. I don't see so much of that anymore. ~ David Bowie
Underground Music quotes by David Bowie
I heard what I'd learned against my will to identify as new age music. Aimless and spacey, it meandered from unresolved keyboard chord to unresolved keyboard chord with some somnolent noodling in place of melody. Drooling pianos, music to sleepwalk by. ~ Timothy Hallinan
Underground Music quotes by Timothy Hallinan
When you write, it's making a certain kind of music in your head. There's a rhythm to it, a pulse, and on the whole, I'm writing to that drum rather than the psychological process. ~ Tom Stoppard
Underground Music quotes by Tom Stoppard
I believe in art the way other people believe in god. I say that because books and paintings and music and photography gave me an alternate world to inhabit when the one I was born into was a dead zone. I say it because if you, even inside whatever terror itches your skin, pick up a pen or a paintbrush, a camera or clay or a guitar, you already have what you are afraid to choose. Volition. It was already in you. ~ Lidia Yuknavitch
Underground Music quotes by Lidia Yuknavitch
I have quite a bit of experience reporting on corporate behavior, both doing it with independent operations in early in my career, in the underground press, to magazines like 'Rolling Stone,' to regional newspapers and television, and television news programs, to papers like the 'New York Times' and public television. ~ Lowell Bergman
Underground Music quotes by Lowell Bergman
It's a scary question for a musician or songwriter today - what does the future hold? It is a strange time in the music business too; it feels like we are all in some kind of transitional period, stuck between old technology and new. ~ Dean Wareham
Underground Music quotes by Dean Wareham
Music is where I have the most creative freedom, but I love producing. To me, that's kind of where all the action is. You get a chance to have your hands in every aspect of a film. From picking a director, sometimes picking a writer, to the actors, the wardrobe, set design, editing, music, and marketing. ~ Ice Cube
Underground Music quotes by Ice Cube
I, who even as a child had been so distrustful of music (not because it took me out of myself more powerfully than anything else, but because I had noticed that it did not put me back where it had found me, but left me deeper down, somewhere in the heart of things unfinished) ... ~ Rainer Maria Rilke
Underground Music quotes by Rainer Maria Rilke
When griping grief the heart doth wound, and doleful dumps the mind opresses, then music, with her silver sound, with speedy help doth lend redress. ~ William Shakespeare
Underground Music quotes by William Shakespeare
He was looking at me like I was a puzzle to be solved, like he couldn't believe the music was coming from my hands. When in actual fact, it wasn't coming from my hands at all. It was coming from my heart. And ~ N.R. Walker
Underground Music quotes by N.R. Walker
I remembered Owen telling me how music had saved him in Phoenix, that it drowned everything out, and it was the same for me now. As long as I had something to listen to, I could blur the things I didn't want to think about, if not block them out completely. ~ Sarah Dessen
Underground Music quotes by Sarah Dessen
All art, literature, and music must be born in your heart's blood. Art is your heart's blood. ~ Edvard Munch
Underground Music quotes by Edvard Munch
Look into words for the tomb of space
where beauties & stones & eternities untangle.
( ... )
In them is the flood which bothers the sea
and the songs which need no music.
Say these words that evolve into silence,
whose language survives not being understood.
Pronounce those which are unpalatable &
untangle from all the world wants to hear. ~ M.T.C. Cronin
Underground Music quotes by M.T.C. Cronin
Music is my mother and my father; it is my work and my rest ... my blood ... my compass ... my love ... ~ Jeff Buckley
Underground Music quotes by Jeff Buckley
Other humans gaze at the sky, but I say unto you, the only way through the world is to pass through the underground. ~ Rawi Hage
Underground Music quotes by Rawi Hage
I don't like country music, but I don't mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music, denigrate means 'put down'. ~ Bob Newhart
Underground Music quotes by Bob Newhart
There is music wherever there is harmony, order and proportion; and thus far we may maintain the music of the spheres; for those well ordered motions, and regular paces, though they give no sound unto the ear, yet to the understanding they strike a note most full of harmony. ~ Thomas Browne
Underground Music quotes by Thomas Browne
I want to get my music out there. I enjoy playing shows; I just don't enjoy airports. I want to be more creative, but it's hard to get into that zone on tour. ~ Lykke Li
Underground Music quotes by Lykke Li
The weirdest thing I've been fascinated with nowadays is the new contemporary country music, which to me sounds like very strange '70s pop, and sometimes like rock music. But some of the themes in there - maybe it's because I know how the songs were written, but it really does sound like it was written by two or three people, with the idea to appeal to the most general audience. ~ Ryan Adams
Underground Music quotes by Ryan Adams
Jon Anderson and I, we really liked a lot of classical music, and we wanted to get some orchestral arrangements going on 'Time And A Word.' ~ Chris Squire
Underground Music quotes by Chris Squire
When you start reading a piece together, you get a sense of someone's basic philosophy of music without saying a word. You realize the other person's approach, how they express themselves, the kind of restraint they show, all those things. ~ Joshua Bell
Underground Music quotes by Joshua Bell
[Commercial radio] is owned by one or two corporations now, and they're not in the music business. They're in the advertising business ... So let's not kid ourselves. If you want to hear music, go buy a guitar. ~ Elvis Costello
Underground Music quotes by Elvis Costello
Music is a big part of my life. I listen to different genres, and I choose the music that will inspire the next part of my story. ~ Bella Thorne
Underground Music quotes by Bella Thorne
I come from a musical family. Mom was a piano teacher for a large portion of her life, and Dad is a saxophone hobbyist who grew up in England during the heyday of Tubby Hayes and Ronnie Scott. I started taking piano lessons from my Mom, but it's too easy to slack off with your parent, so she passed me on to a friend of hers, where I got more motivated to play music by playing pop hits and TV themes. I did some classical training, but I was always more into the really thematic stuff. ~ Gerard Cox
Underground Music quotes by Gerard Cox
