Zitat des Tages von Ezra Koenig:
I like how Ralph Lauren creates a mystical world through his clothing.
No part of Manhattan these days really has the same vibe I get from a Ramones song or a Velvet Underground song.
There aren't that many people walking about who are a total class stereotype.
In Europe, I always have fun bike riding in Amsterdam.
You can be 24 and continue to live like you're at college, or even continue to live like you're in high school. Or you can put on a shirt and tie and pretend to be an adult.
I still think that if you're excited about something, you have to work at it.
I grew up listening to Jay-Z, and I think the first time I really became obsessed with learning and thinking about lyrics was when I started listening to rap; I was 11, 12, and started becoming aware of music beyond the familiar.
My dad has a really great record collection that basically went up to the year I was born: 1984.
Sometimes you want to dress a certain way... that doesn't always reflect your pedigree.
It's cool to have instruments lying around because they give you different ideas.
Just because I grew up a white guy in America doesn't mean that's the music of my life.
Making every record is a process full of tough times.
Well, growing up in the '90s, my first true love was ska music.
Anyways, trying to express yourself to the press is often like arguing with a hysterical person.
It's pretty cool that people will pay for something even though they don't have to. It's totally different now to back in the day. Now you're paying for a record because you believe in the band. In the future that will be the only time people will pay for albums, because there's some kind of connection.
I don't like to generalize but I've had nothing but bad experiences with Mexican food in Europe.
