"Records were vitally important to the development of music and of all music cultures. With that being pushed by the wayside, I can't see an iPod uniting us. In fact it separates us.

"I don't trust anybody who didn't inhale." - Peter Fonda. RIP.

"One of the things that the Grateful Dead did was we spent a lot of time just turning each other on to music. If somebody was listening to something that really caught their ear, they'd make sure that everybody else in the band heard it, and that came home for us in innumerable ways." - Bob Weir. Kinda sounds like this place.
