If you break an individual record, it’s because of the greatness that comes before you.
History will record not only the transformational changes President Obama brought about, but also that in 2008, he was elected president with 69 million votes – the largest popular vote for any one person in the history of this country, based on a campaign of hope and inspiration.
I didn’t record any additional dialogue for this CD, they are excerpts pulled from existing episodes.
For me, and I’ve been on record saying it, let’s create two leagues: one for players who want the college football experience, and another for those that want to get paid, have the NFL help fund it, whatever. Guys who don’t want to go to school to get an education, let them go to work.
They say you can rap about anything except for Jesus, that means guns, sex, lies, video tapes, but if I talk about God my record won’t get played Huh?
I thought I’d be wasting my time to go to commercial record companies and make demos for them, because don’t forget, I was doing what I was doing and nobody understood what I was doing.
‘Moonwalking with Einstein’ refers to a memory device I used when I memorized a deck of playing cards at the U.S. Memory Championship. When I competed in 2006, I set a new U.S. record by memorizing a deck of cards in one minute and 40 seconds. That record has since fallen.
I think that debut albums are supposed to sound sort of raw. You don’t want to record ‘Sgt. Pepper’s’ as your first album, because where do you go from there?
My songs always sound a lot better in person than they do on the record.
Music is my main goal, but I’m not going to rush a record out. There are so many actors who have come out with albums these days. I don’t want to do it because it’s the thing to do. I want to wait until the time is right.
I was trying to do the same thing that I always do which is make an interesting record.
At 13 years old, I realized I could start my own band. I could write my own song, I could record my own record. I could start my own label. I could release my own record. I could book my own shows. I could write and publish my own fanzine. I could silk-screen my own T-shirt. I could do this all myself.
But as you said, there are going to be those that have no record and cannot be detected in that capacity so that is why you have to have other layers of security.
I hold the record now with Dixie Dean for being the only Everton player to score three Merseyside derby goals at Anfield. I still hope to better it. Things like that, the fans never forget.
I think that’s what happened to the record business when ‘Napster’ came around. The industry rejected what was happening instead of accepting it as change.
I used to record songs, like, play the beat from one phone and have another phone recording me and just rap. Moving from that to a studio was like, ‘Damn, I never knew I could sound like this.’ It was just magic.
What can I say? I’m just a relevant dude. It’s just natural. My hunger’s still there. I still keep my ear to the streets. I record every song like it’s my last. I just love music. I’m blessed.
At midnight every night, I would methodically leave the house for a couple hours’ walk, come back in, and record. And then the sun came up. If I had done something good, then I’d be happy and go to sleep.
I always wanted to make a pop record. I’m a dancer myself, so I want to make something that people listen to and just want to dance to.
Brett Kavanaugh was a very difficult Supreme Court nominee for liberals to oppose. He had a stellar reputation, an impeccable record, and a genial disposition.
All my vocals were recorded at home, which was great for me. You can actually have a studio in a computer program called ProTools. I did half the record with ProTools.
A record is just a snapshot of where you are at any time.
I certainly have gotten caught up in the music business at various times in my life, mostly because you want to get along with whatever record company you’re dealing with. I don’t want to be flaky. I don’t want to be some temperamental, hard-to-work-with musician.
No actor has 100 percent track record.
I’m on the ground, I’ve been in swing states, I’ve been talking to the American people, I’ve been out there speaking on behalf of Obama’s record, I’ve been in the trenches.
Looking forward, it might prove constructive to examine the true historical record of an issue prior to assuming the worst of anyone’s motive and deconstructing and questioning anyone’s Democratic bona fides. After all, we liberals got feelings.
Examine the history of China for 2,000 years back, and then compare it with the Western history of fifty years! Does the government of these foreign countries present such a record of generosity, benevolence, loyalty, and honesty as ours?
God only made one thing in this world that’s perfect – and that’s my boxing record.
It’s easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to make a blues record.
I thought that I held the record of most appearances on the Bob Hope Show, but I think – It’s Brooke Shields.
I’ve been around for such a long time. My first hit record was over 20 years ago and the people who bought my records then are married now and they probably still play these records and their children like them.
However, the radio and national media depend much more on the hype from a good record label, and from a ‘ buzz ‘ about a band, then from just one or two good shows. There are a lot of artists that have a ton of good press going for them, and still do not make it big in the US.
I was two and a half and my folks would put it on the record player and I would run around the house screaming, but I haven’t been that hip since.
Always I was dreaming of a record contract. From 10 to 13, it was all I could think of. I worked hard for this dream. Nobody could say I didn’t try.
Record labels and producers are not looking to change you: they are looking to make a star. And what they might think is a star may not be you.
My aim is to do better than I did in Tokyo. I am glad I won the Olympic gold. I may have got the national record, but I am trying to breach the 90-metre barrier.
I spent a few years here in Memphis, in the late ’70s and early ’80s, where I was studying a lot of country blues players and their styles. So it seems like every record I’ll do, I will appropriate these blues styles that I remember.
I did frequently refer to my war record in World War II, but not in any flamboyant way.
I tested the waters on producing a record, but I’m more of a creative guy. I can’t get into minute details.
There have been many socially conscious concept albums. I wanted to make a ‘social consciousness’ concept album disguised as a country record.
Even though the popularity and the fanbase is much much greater, and more people have heard about me through things like the Grammys and the Ivors and touring and word of mouth, it doesn’t reflect in the sales of the record and doesn’t go into my pocket.
This album, ‘ununiform,’ I didn’t even have to record it if I didn’t want to.
Johnny Mercer started Capitol Records, and he brought in Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Nat King Cole. He just let them sing whatever they wanted, and it became the best record company in America.
When grandpa was ill and could’ve died, I would have swapped all my record sales so he could get well. He is the reason I am a singer. He was my best friend growing up.
The two records are very different. I guess, on the second record, that’s more where I was at. Its not that I’m more well-adjusted or anything, it’s just that what I wanted to sing about maybe was more the way I wanted to feel.
I think most paintings are a record of the decisions that the artist made. I just perhaps make them a little clearer than some people have.
I always had a standard of, back when I was doing the country music I always told people I would never record a song that I wouldn’t sit down and sing in front of my mom and dad.
I’ve woken up from dreams and the whole song is there. I’m listening to it in my dreams. I consciously have to wake myself up and get a tape recorder because I hear it like a record.
I think I’ve been lucky to work with so many lovely people. But there’s Joshua Bell, who’s the world’s greatest violinist. We worked together live and once, for his record, but I really would want to work with him on one of my records.
I’m really thankful to God, man. Like now, I’m really making a real comeback with my group. With or without a record, with or without a movie. And behind all the negative press behind this movie.
I’ll always write music. Whether I release a record, whether I let the public hear it or not, I’m always writing music.
You know, the record business is much different than being artist on stage.
I’m continuing to produce and will start a new record soon, as well.
I’ve recorded 25 or 30 albums. I know that sometimes when you work with producers who are kinda dictators, it doesn’t help you make a better record.
You ask me if I keep a notebook to record my great ideas. I’ve only ever had one.
When my record company rejected ‘Full Moon Fever’, I was hurt so bad. I was pretty far along in my career at that point. I’d never had anything rejected; I’d never really even had a comment. So when that happened, it was really just a board to the forehead. But then, finally, I picked myself up.
