10 QUOTES WITH «CASSETTE»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word cassette.
1
Edgar Bronfman, Jr.
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.
2
Clive Davis
I never paid attention when the LP became the cassette and the cassette became the CD and now we're dealing, you know, with MP3s. It's okay.
3
Jeffrey Gitomer
I graduated from high school in 1963. There were no computers, cell phones, Internet, credit cards, cassette tapes or cable TV.
4
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
I like making little videos and little records. I've always loved video cameras and four-track cassette recorders, still cameras, anything.
5
Marjorie Gubelmann
My parents loved music, and my father would come home with cassette tapes of Chic and the Village People and Barbra Streisand. We had all these sounds always going. We never had somber music - always upbeat.
6
Richard Harmon
Bob Dylan is my idol. Everybody has that person growing up that made them see things a little differently than they did before, Dylan is that guy for me. My dad gave me the 'Blonde on Blonde' album on cassette tape when I was seven or eight. It took me a while to get into Dylan's vibe, but once I did, I never looked back.
7
John Hughes
I used to judge the quality of music by whether I could make a 90-minute cassette and not repeat any artists.
8
Jenny Lewis
When I was 18, I took a trip to Thailand with a friend. We stayed for a month. Bangkok was very raw for a teenager: there were no cellphones, no Internet, and the only music I had with me was this cassette by Liz Phair. I was writing a lot of poetry, and she embodied a talky style of songwriting that I found very accessible.
9
James Vincent McMorrow
I have some vivid memories of walking around as a child with a cassette tape.
10
James Mercer
I've never been one to think it was cheating to sample this or to loop the drum part there - I've always done that. Even using four-track cassette recorders, I was always doing whatever I could to make it as good as I could.
