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.

Vinyl is the real deal. I've always felt like until you buy the vinyl record you don't really own the album. And it's not just me or a little pet thing or some kind of retro romantic thing from the past. It is still alive.

I think it's important for people who love music to retain physical CDs or even vinyl because it sounds so great and so much warmer than music over the internet.

I'm a big collector of vinyl - I have a record room in my house - and I've always had a huge soundtrack album collection. So what I do as I'm writing a movie is go through all those songs trying to find good songs for fights or good pieces of music to layer into the film.

I buy records - vinyl. I have a record player at home.

The scary thing is when I did my set in Texas everyone was excited. The show was great. I was done and the next DJ put something on vinyl and the difference! The quality!!

The four building blocks of the universe are fire water gravel and vinyl.

I put on the Hank Williams and the Patsy Cline and the Rosemary Clooney on vinyl - I'm not trying to be some cool indie-rock person I just love the way it sounds - and throw on a T-shirt and jeans. In Texas we practically come out of the womb in jeans.

If God drives a car He'd drive a 1973 Ford LTD Brougham sedan with a claret-colored vinyl roof with oxblood leather upholstery and an opera window.
