Famous quotes

  • « The history of the music industry is inevitably also the story of the development of technology. From the player piano to the vinyl disc, from reel-to-reel tape to the cassette, from the CD to the digital download, these formats and devices changed not only the way music was consumed, but the very way artists created it. »
    Edgar Bronfman, Jr.
  • « Disco is the first technology music. And what I mean is that 'disco' music is named after discs, because when technology grew to where they didn't need a band in the clubs, the DJ played it on a disc. »

  • « Every singer eventually gets around to a Christmas disc. »
    Renee Fleming
