  3. “The forest's greatest gift to Pygmy music may not be its bounty but its lessons in listening. In the dense undergrowth of triple-canopy rainforest visibility is often limited, so hearing can become more important than sight. Pygmies are encouraged to develop their listening skills from an early age, making them excellent animal mimics and extraordinary musicians and singers.”

  4. “grime \"spitting\" is supposed to be twice the speed of hip-hop rapping: typically, you had just 16 bars to show your skills, before passing the mic”

  6. “He fails when his instincts desert him, when he tries to recreate consciously what he does so well unconsciously. Bowie knows all this: it just leaves him in the uncomfortable position of having endlessly to rehearse for unpreparedness.”

  7. “in New Orleans. It's the heat. The hotter it gets the better the grooves get. I’m interested in the groove so I went to New Orleans. It was part of the education of Daniel Lanois — an understanding of bass lines, in knowing where the funk and blues come from. You can't learn that in school, but if you want to know what you have to be in it.”

  9. “The South Africa of the '60's and '70's was a strange place to grow up, musically or otherwise. Quite how strange was perhaps only really revealed to those who grew up there once the country had taken those first steps towards political normality in 1994. At a musical level, its long years of semi-isolation from the rest of the cultural world meant that, while a young musician like Kitchen would have had vicarious access, via records and the radio, to what was going on elsewhere, he would have had almost no direct contact with it, nor any realistic aspirations of his own music being heard beyond the confines of his immediate audience. Anyone choosing a musical life outside of the mainstream automatically restricts the size of that audience. In South Africa, that kind of decision marginalized the musician more than most.”

  10. “We find no evidence that changes since Napster have affected the quantity of new recorded music or artists coming to market. We reconcile stable quantities in the face of decreased demand with reduced costs of bringing works to market and a growing role of independent labels.”
