"A lot of times musicians are treated really badly in this business. They’re generally not invited to premières, or even to cast-and-crew parties. And you don’t see their names in the end credits. It’s pretty much the only job on the crew where you gotta practice twenty or thirty years to be able to do what they do. Yet so many other people get to see their names up there, including, you know, the guy who brings the doughnuts. Not to diminish the guy who brings the doughnuts! We like him, too!"

Chloe Veltman: "I was thrilled to catch the local choral ensemble Volti rehearsing for a pair of concerts this weekend. It was amazing to watch the singers' body language change as they sang... Their bodies went from being rigid to supple. Their faces relaxed. It was like watching the musical equivalent of deep-tissue massage happening right before my eyes."

You and What Army: GARDENING IS THE NEW PUNK ROCK

Michael Azerrad: "Some people are really upset by my argument that snarly, abrasive music just isn't the pre-eminent soundtrack to the progressive mindset anymore. But it's not even an argument. It's pointing out a fact. Just look at the indie/underground musicians who are popular now — snarly and abrasive is passé. Does the National make you want to go out and fuck shit up? Or are they more likely to inspire you to make a Google Maps hack for plotting safe bicycle routes through your town?"
