Labels Quotations | Page 3

As a genre, rockabilly's post-Elvis profile has seldom been lower in the United States. Many labels that produced fresh bass-slappin' sides during the '90's are now out of business.

The will to label will always prevail over what's being labeled, usually at the expense of either truth or understanding

We are honored to be working with Herbie Hancock and the unprecedented array of talented artists he has assembled to create this truly special event album. Following the success of Ray Charles' Genius Loves Company, Possibilities reflects our ongoing commitment to working with innovative artists and labels to create unique projects which we believe our customers will embrace.

Sometimes, you just get a label and it sticks.

We're a small band, but we have a following. Our records turn a profit, even if it's meager. And that's something to be said in this day and age. I was surprised at the reaction of most labels we contacted. The calls that weren't returned were shocking. Merge, Matador, Thrill Jockey and Touch and Go were labels I thought I had business contacting. Having a predictable potential that isn't awesome is a lot worse than having an unknown potential.

We're asking people to check the labels on the products they buy.

The creative community always responds to a tragedy. I don't think Katrina changed the instinctive reaction. But the fact that it was New Orleans, which is so important to the music world, did touch a chord in a particularly poignant way. People rallied immediately, within hours. All the labels wanted to play ball.

I always have wanted to know how the whole thing was done, what the process involved. And I don't particularly enjoy that my music is stripped of ancillary details, and it just sort of comes out of this big tap called the Internet like water. I like some of my water to be neatly presented in a bottle.With a label on it.

Never will they label our liberation struggle as criminal

The moment you put a mental label on another human being, you can no longer truly relate to that person. . . It then becomes possible to perpetrate any act of violence.

Identification with your mind creates an opaque screen of concepts, labels, images, words, judgments, and definitions that blocks all true relationship.

In the unawakened state you don't use thought, but thought uses you. You are, one could almost say, possessed by thought, which is the collective conditioning of the human mind that goes back many thousands of years. You don't see anything as it is, but distorted and reduced by mental labels, concepts, judgments, opinions and reactive patterns.

My mind cannot know you, only labels, judgments, facts, and opinions about you. Being alone knows directly.

The hardest thing to do in this business is to still be around. When music changes, when labels' resources have dried up, it becomes harder and harder to continue to make a living at this.

It is great to have your own label; you can cultivate your own artists I've worked with pretty much everyone I wanted to.

Even though were not the most punk rock band, the way weve done things is pretty punk rock. Just kinda say it with a big middle finger to the record labels and do it ourselves.

Labels are for cans, not people.

We're looking to sign artists who make great hit music that can have mass appeal regardless of genre. There have been independent gay and lesbian labels before, but nothing that has the clout of Sony. We can mine all the great music within the Sony archives and beyond.

You can't learn how to be elegant; you can only learn how to avoid mistakes. The rest is instinct. Elegance is about the way you cross your legs, not the label or the newest clothes from the latest collection.

I'm selling more records on my own than I did on major labels.

Sangeeta Bandyopadhyay is a stylistically daring writer in love with surrealism, credited with being 'the woman who reintroduced hardcore sexuality to Bengali literature'. But though the (male) establishment used this label of erotica to dismiss her work, the sex scenes have exactly the same transgressive function as her use of chronology and narrative voice.

I looked at my family and I said, "I've got a spouse. I've got three kids. There's no way I'm ever buying a music subscription service for the five of us. It's just not going to happen." So we wanted to do something really great for families... It wasn't easy. We had to convince the labels it was in their best interests, too.

To define yourself is to limit yourself. Without labels you remain the infinite being.

Take away all your labels and you are the Infinite Being.

When we started, no one else was doing this. No one was collecting old cans. We begged everybody at the bottle shows to give us bottles with labels on them and to not take labels off.

Major labels they're not into me at all because the name is like - all they can remember is what I've done, so I don't even want to deal with that.

Measuring cups are your best friend. Reading labels in the grocery is a challenge. It took two hours for my first shopping trip for her.

My feeling is that labels are for canned food...I am what I am - - and I know what I am.

No, not right now. The service consumers want is not what the record labels are currently able to provide. Anybody who is satisfying consumer demand will have to be doing it outside of the sphere of the record labels.

Music labels would much rather have variable price, so they can charge more for hits and perhaps less for older tracks. Apple likes the $0.99 price because it is simple, uniform, not too high to discourage buyers, and very easy to administer and merchandise.

Now that the labels are indicating that they are willing to give licenses out for at least some kinds of music service ventures, the floodgates are opening and anyone who wants to be a big player in this space in 2001-2002 had better get moving now.

No evidence of any Tyson Foods involvement in or concern about the USDA's proposal to require safe handling labels predated that announcement,

If this bill is approved, it will make sure consumers are informed and not misled in any way. Wine labels are confusing enough. This a step in ending some of the consumer confusion.

If this takes off, it could steamroller the copyright protection on CDs the labels are pushing.

I hate the idea of labels and saying you are member of one party or another and signing up to all sorts of policies that you don't have a view on or don't believe in. Because I'm not a politician, I don't have to be consistent in what I say and how I behave.

I can't put labels ? on these materials,

The people who are competing business-wise out there want what other successful labels and artists have. I don't want what they have; I want my own path, my own sound, my own identity. Record labels care nothing about identity or artistic freedom, they want good business.

He's already shown that he can appeal to Republicans. They'll try to paint him as a liberal, tax-and-spend guy, but they are going to find out the old labels just won't fly anymore.

I agree that metal doesn't ever really go away, but it does have waves of popularity, and right now it seems to be growing. I don't think it's quite hit its peak again, but it is on the way up. Major labels are trying to grab hold of a lot of the metal bands, and that whole thing is coming around again too; you can kind of see the whole cycle repeating itself.

I wrote back and asked if she could be more specific. She e-mailed me back with exact labels and products, and the good news is that we were already planning to carry 90 percent of it.

I suspect that someone removed the labels I affixed to the literature and that he or she or their surrogate plans on filing a complaint. The purpose of this letter is to advise your office that no pieces of literature were distributed without the required disclaimer and that I believe that if a complaint is filed someone is tampering with my literature to make a false complaint. Obviously, affixing labels was not the best short-term solution but the problem was addressed immediately and a long-term solution was achieved.

I think investors in that particular segment of electronic commerce are anticipating the future of the music business rather than focusing on what's happening now. In the future, record labels will have no choice but to distribute music via the Internet.

I think the Internet is a threat to the traditional big labels because they do not fully understand it.

Labels fund things and have resources for you to use. But just because you sign doesn't mean you sign yourself away so they can then tell you what to do. You need to have a plan yourself before they do.

Labels do a lot of things besides manufacture and sell records. We market musicians, we get radio stations to play songs, we help produce tracks and guide musical careers. Wal-Mart doesn't have an expertise in those things.

Labels are devices for saving talkative persons the trouble of thinking

It goes in 10-year cycles. One of the things that's happening now is that radio is in transition. So everything is up for grabs. Also, you have a very slow market out there - labels aren't putting out so many records. And, because they're looking at the costs of promoting records, they're putting out fewer left-field ones.

It got me more recognition from the record labels and more independent artists started to reach out and tried to look to me for guidance to help them out.

I think the record industry has gotten to be more about labels wondering what the new single is rather than labels nurturing artists. It's gotten away from making a full album of music that someone would want to listen to all the way through.

I think ethnic and regional labels are insulting to writers and really put restrictions on them. People don't think your work is quite as universal.

Record labels and movie studios are coming to us and trying to figure out new ways to reach their consumers. They?re coming to us because the 18- to 34-year-old demographic - which is their core demographic - is becoming harder and harder to reach.

Part of that is record labels continually try to work their catalog so they always have money coming in,

We have all labels except for Sony and we are working with them and we know their artists would like to be a part of this launch - and we hope they will join us soon.

We have more faith in the music than the people at major labels have. I'm always thinking of ways to enhance the music and the way we think about it.

We had offers from major labels in the past but we skipped over them because we knew it was too early. We wanted to get the most out of every phase, like putting out a record on an independent label and playing small clubs, then doing bigger records and bigger tours. I think that just made us better prepared for this whole experience.

We were going to run the battery labels down there. Delphi ended up selling that particular business to Johnson Controls in Milwaukee.

We definitely got some offers from labels and we talked to a lot of people. They were offering advances and a lot of support and it was definitely an option, but we'd already come pretty far on our own.

We are meeting with Sony, and we have a couple of other labels that suddenly have interest and that's really great because none of them have actually heard our stuff.

A lot of big labels will just sign bands like a write off.

Actually, we got signed in November of 2000 with Dreamworks which is the most amazing label. We have friends on other labels and though we are not selling millions of records, yet, they treat us with tons of respect and give us some very good guidance.

Many of us spend our entire lives in the same bubble - we surround ourselves with people who share our opinions, speak the way we speak, and look the way we look. We fear leaving those familiar surroundings, which is natural, but through exploration of the unfamiliar we stop focusing on the labels that define WHAT we are and discover WHO we are.

I think it is very useful to know ourselves, but when we start naming and labeling, that is dangerous, that gets problematic. It negates that things are always changing. Besides, it's hard to pin a label onto something that's always moving.

We wear a lot of labels in our lives, and it's so very easy to be defined by them. We have grown somehow accustomed to thinking of ourselves as a size eight or a size fourteen, as a capricorn or a taurus, as single or in love.

What it comes down to is it really is a love-hate relationship. Certainly, would the labels like to have more control over pricing? Absolutely. Would they like to have more influence on format availability? Absolutely.

Everything keeps changing. People want to label things all the time and once you label it, it changes again.

When you're doing a deal with someone in the southern Sahara, it's a very different way of doing business than in London. You can't sign them in the usual way because they'd end up getting ripped off, which would defeat the object of setting up a label like this

To label Jason Randal a magician does a disservice. You'll think the laws of physics, nature, the universe itself have been suspended. He's as good as Houdini was at his best!
