There are plenty of Minutemen. People willing to be Minutemen. Where are the people that want to be George Washington? Where are the Benjamin Franklins? Where is Sam Adams? Where is John Adams?

I grew up I guess you'd say in the cassette era.

I'm more critical of my songwriting than anybody, but I've worked really hard in the last five to 10 years to improve.

Beck 133 quotes

I'm always working on my own music, too. I've been working on a record for a few years.

Beck 133 quotes

Technology was something I avoided when I started out - I didn't even have electric guitars. Only played acoustic.

Beck 133 quotes

I know my own limitations. And if somebody says, "I need songs for a cartoon garage band - they look like this and they should sound like this," it gives you a direction. I like having that kind of assignment.

Beck 133 quotes

Sometimes, I think the way th...

Sometimes, I think the way the music business has been destructive and the way the fans are been put through it and try to navigate through it, so much is so foreign to what musicians would actually want to do or what would be natural to them.

Beck 133 quotes

I don't remember half of the ...

I don't remember half of the new bands, though - and I think that's kind of where we're going. It's turning into just a big derby of songs. May the best song win.

I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?

Beck 133 quotes

I'm sure the music is going to come out. I'm not sure if I'm going to put out 12"s or put the songs on my website. I just have to get them done.

Beck 133 quotes

The only way I was allowed to...

The only way I was allowed to play was by convincing bands to let me do a few songs while they set up. That went on for years.

Beck 133 quotes

There are a lot of technical studio things I've learned or figured out, and I feel like I could use those things to help other people with what they're doing.

Beck 133 quotes

I'm always looking for older ...

I'm always looking for older equipment and ways of recording, but you can't escape the fact that it's all going to be digitized and reduced. I do think music sounds better when it's on tape and more simply recorded. I've been arguing with people for 10 years about tape versus digital, and I believe tape is absolutely essential in getting the sound that's conducive to the enjoyment of music. I wonder if it's going to go back to that. Sometimes I think it has to. As music becomes more computer-based, it's lost some emotional impact.

Beck 133 quotes

For the records I've work on ...

For the records I've work on over the last 10 years, I get sent the really compressed version and the non-compressed version, and oftentimes you end up going with the more compressed one because it's what people's ears are attuned to. I think the bigger problem is saturation and people being desensitized.

I didn't even have a computer...

I didn't even have a computer until like 10 years ago. I was still using a typewriter until 2002.

Beck 133 quotes

I think everybody should just...

I think everybody should just turn off their TV machines and make up their own songs about whatever comes to mind-their couch, their friends their loaves of bread. Everybody's got their own songs. There should be so many songs out there that it all turns into one big sound and we can put the whole thing into a pickup truck and let it roll off the edge of the Grand Canyon.

Beck 133 quotes

Just out of curiosity, I wonder what makes music or culture or taste go in certain directions. Who knows what the forces are behind it.

Beck 133 quotes

There's an infinite amount of...

There's an infinite amount of possibilities and detours and things that can distract you from actually just performing the song and having whatever emotion that's invested into the song come through in the recording.

Beck 133 quotes

You spend so many months and ...

You spend so many months and years in the studio, and you see the clock ticking and so much time spent on the minutiae of technical things. And I just thought it'd be fun to do something extremely fast and get that rush of something that had some energy, something that you weren't tired of when you finished it.

Beck 133 quotes

When I pull out vinyl - which...

When I pull out vinyl - which isn't that often anymore - it's undeniable that I get a different feeling. There's a different physiology happening between the sound waves and the body that doesn't happen with music playing off the computer.
