Tracks Quotations

What is beauty, anyway? It's more than something pleasant looking. If it doesn't stop us in our tracks and make us unable to move for a moment, unable to put into words what's closing off the breath in our throats, then maybe it's pretty, but it probably isn't beauty.

I pull a lot of the stuff that I play off the rhythm tracks - and Keith Richards has been one of the main contributors to my inspirational playing.

A lot of the Warp stuff has infected people's minds 'cause they're at the point where they can put tracks out, 'cause electronics are cheaper in America and kids are richer generally.

In point of fact, I'm not sure there are too many comedies with laugh tracks anymore. Most of what you hear is live studio audience laughing as a show is filmed. If this prompts you to wonder who those actual human beings are who are laughing at some of this stuff, that is a mystification I share.

Orchestra had a little brass ensemble on two tracks as well, but the rest was me. I knew I couldn't continue in this direction, even if people liked it, because I can only duplicate myself.

I think having a national system that tracks who owns guns is fine. I don't think we need to be printing it on the Internet.

Napster is great so long as they put out tracks on there that have been officially released. I don't really mind people downloading my music; I also see it as a compliment. And if you are a real music lover, you want to have the original CD anyway 'cause then you feel more connected to the artist.

I played a lot of acetates at the end of my vinyl period - I used to make tracks and get them pressed in four or five days - but the quality was always so bad and they would skip all the time. The vinyl days for me are over. I still buy vinyl, but only albums, and just to play. For DJing, vinyl is a nightmare.

Having blown up my own long-term marriage via an extramarital affair, followed by a traumatic divorce, I tend to think of love as less a gently glowing hearth than a set of flaming train tracks you strap yourself onto.

Not only should we be giving Amtrak the money it needs to continue to provide services; we should be providing security money to upgrade their tracks and improve safety and security measures in the entire rail system.

Football is only once a week. NASCAR is once a week. Those sports are insanely popular. Horse racing is oversaturated. Unless tracks cut back to three days a week of full fields, a lot of people will really hurt down the road. Horse racing, to survive, has to go to that. Let's face it: Churchill Downs only does well on Derby Week.

A good tracker is interpreting all the time, from every little sign, you know? Not just interpreting the age of the tracks but also: Is it wounded? Is it hungry? A good tracker is interpreting a lot.

Then I have a head mounted display which actually was designed for the military to do synchronized building entries and that's looking down at my hands, so projected on the big screen behind me, you can see my hands as I'm putting the tracks together.

Monorail tracks are prefabricated and can be erected relatively quickly: Simply dig a hole every 120 feet or so, plop down a column, and lift the track into place. Because the systems operate above traffic, collisions with errant motorists are never an issue. The trains are automated, saving millions in labor costs in the long run.

There are no movie references that I can think of in 'Robopocalypse.' However, there are tons of personal references. For example, the IP address that Lurker tracks actually goes back to the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, where I studied robotics.

A lot of our tracks have sounded a lot better than I thought they would because of recording, mixing, and because I probably didn't hear it that way. I'm not a songwriter.

I never made beats to make beats; I only made them when there was a record to make them for. That's one of the things that has changed in hip-hop that's made me like it less. It feels much more like it's a producer-driven medium, where there are all these tracks that are completely interchangeable.

I like my stuff 'cause I only ever end up with tracks that I really, really like. It always appeals to me.

I feel like too many people on the West Coast, they're too needy. They feel they need Snoop or Game. I never did any tracks with any West Coast artists. Not because I didn't want to, but because I didn't feel like that's what I had to do in order to get on. I just did music.

We don't really talk about music that much, to be honest with you. It's not some I usually - I can't really talk about other people's tracks never mind my own.

Blending tracks and weaving and manipulating prerecorded music to create this mood, some people do it much better than others.

Yeah, I came in at the end of the Notorious album, played on about five tracks and then we went on a tour. Then we did another album, Big Thing, and then we started writing songs together in 1989.

I'm trying to use people like Meredith Monk and Philip Glass and Terry Riley as the backing tracks for new pop songs. It's really hard trying to use the format and write a pop song on top of avant-garde music, so we'll see. It could be cool, or it could totally flop.

There will be some tracks on the next album which that will consist of mostly noise and feedback, whereas others may just have guitar parts and samples.

Human experience resembles the battered moon that tracks us in cycles of light and darkness, of life and death, now seeking out and now stealing away from the sun that gives it light and symbolizes eternity.

The dream for many millennial women is to make a difference as social or political entrepreneurs. They are using the social media and marketing tools they have mastered to empower less fortunate women and direct them onto career tracks that women have traditionally avoided, like science and technology.

I have an aversion to laugh tracks - the moment I hear a laugh track, I go to another channel.

I hear odd tracks from my albums every now and again on the radio, or maybe a friend plays me something.

It should be a law for one whole year that all laugh tracks are Seth Rogen. The world would get ever so slightly better.

Our customers are telling us that they want to be able to download music tracks directly to their phones and our focus now is on extending the choice that we provide.

Nineteen years is probably the longest I've heard of. But we don't hear about everything. There's nobody that tracks this stuff precisely.

We had a vibration with the car after the second practice today. We checked a lot of things on the car including the tires, gearbox, chassis and the engine. Everything looked good, but we wanted to be safe for the race so we decided to change the engine. That way we are ready for warm-up and the race. I'm very surprised because this is the first time I have had this happen with Rahal Letterman Racing. We can work out some more things in warm-up and the car will be set to go. The car felt very good in traffic in the practice. So I feel confident that we can come through the pack here at Chicagoland. Some other tracks you couldn't do, that but here it is possible.

More and more, I give Mark Martin more credit for what we are and what we can do. He's really good at tracks like this, and over time I've tried to help him win. Mark's got his fingerprints over everything we do.

My ear is always to the tracks and I'm always listening to what is coming down the road. And if something really interests me, I'll pursue it.

Obviously, it's a tragedy for the family and friends of this individual. Train tracks are not places for shortcuts and recreation. It's a very unforgiving environment.

I got in the right place at the right time and had success. It gives all the drivers at all the race tracks something to shoot for. It wasn't that long ago that I was running there.

I don't know what the slippery slope would be. We have allowed for legal gaming companies, including casinos, including state lotteries, to participate as team and track sponsors for a number of years now, and it's worked for us. I believe we're the only major professional sport that has an event in Las Vegas, but we also have an event at other tracks that offer legal gaming as well, including Dover. And it's worked for our sport.

If they give us bouncy and seaming tracks they will struggle against our attack because their batsmen are not technically sound.

Motor racing is going to miss a phenomenal race driver and I'm going to miss a good friend. I think I will learn a lot with Sam. He is an experienced driver even though he is young. He's been fast at a lot of tracks where we haven't done well so I hope to learn from him.

Since we didn't make the Chase, our goal right now is to finish 11th and we can do that. We have some race tracks coming up that we like and can run well at. We proved that last year, and if we can repeat that performance, we'll be contending for 11th place and the one million dollar bonus that goes with it. We have that Army spirit of never giving up.

Most of the storm tracks have been staying north and most of the cold air is staying in Canada.

She took a drop from one of those (electric cart) tracks and I just told her that she didn't mark her ball when she picked it up, ... So I told her for future reference to always mark the golf ball. She had a good drop, but you need to know where to put the ball.

I have a strong tie to tracks like this. These are the places where you grew up as a race car driver. It's like home. Our homes are all of these different race tracks scattered throughout the country. And some of them you just take a liking to - like this one.

If I was out there, yeah, it would be tempting to at least take a practice lap for old time's sake. It's a shame it's going away, it's well known nationally as one of the toughest short tracks around, and the reputation is deserved.

I am stupidly passionate about music; it has become a bit of drug. I buy tons of CDs and spend days listening to each and every one, putting notes on every song to know which tracks are good so that when I do my little MP3 collection, I know which songs to include.

For sure, it's one of the safest tracks in the world.

From about a year ago in February, we didn't see much of him. And as it got into March, we realized there were no tracks coming out of the house and that the driveway wasn't cleared. We called his son and he said he didn't know where he (Cole) was.

I have always enjoyed racing at Chicagoland, ... Yes, it is a basic 1.5-mile oval, but it seems to have a different personality. It is wider than most of the other tracks and the grip level is good everywhere. So you see a lot more drivers using the high groove. I think that is why there have been so many close finishes there. I think there will be another close one this year. I just want to have the front of my car cross the line first this time.

Here at Dover, this is one of the toughest tracks that I have been able to get accustomed to,

We are gearing up for rapid growth in our subscriber base due to the many inquiries and requests we are receiving from physician networks and health maintenance organizations in several major markets.

And because there is no confidence in the possibility of progress, it is difficult to generate momentum toward progress.

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.

some great outdoor party songs, some big hits that will encourage in listeners a little nostalgia when the summer has passed, and the kind of tribal energy tracks that make people move!

Passengers on Amtrak and commuter trains that share freight tracks suffer delays and unreliable service in an inefficient and congested system.

I think even as this is one of our shortest events, we'll keep all the competitors quite busy and challenged with the variety of tracks on the schedule. This year will allow for more possible hotel time but also some very long, late legs through the night. We look forward to a good, safe event.

Land values have gone up abut 400 percent in the last year along some of these tracks here.

It is clear to me that growth in this county is analogous to a freight train headed down the tracks with no brakes.

Just because I wasn't at those race tracks doesn't take anything away from what we've been doing. When I wasn't here, I was just as happy for this team winning races as I was today.

Just because technology exists where you can duplicate something, that doesn't give you the right to do it. There's nothing wrong with giving some tracks away or bits of stuff that's fine. But it's not everybody's right. Once I record something, it's not public domain to give it away freely.

I think it's unquestionable that we have wolves here. I found tracks this summer that were confirmed.

I think anybody that feels like we've slipped on the restrictor-plate tracks hasn't seen restrictor-plate racing for the last couple of years. I mean, I think that no matter what our seasons are like, what's happening with our team, we always seem to be pretty steady at restrictor-plate tracks.

Restrictor plates you've got to rely on all the other drivers around you to make it happen, and that's hard to do. ... But I think the mile and a half tracks are perfect for this Chase.

I think if you don't put as many tracks on it, you can get better tone on all the tracks you do have. It lets the vocals stand out, especially on the song like 'I Never Needed You' with Sara Evans, who sings that with Richie. That track is so sparse, there's just so much room for their voices to take up the speakers. I even play baritone guitar on that just so I don't play a lot of frequencies that are even in the vocal range. To me it's just, that song opens up everything for the vocals to do what they do.

I think it was 'Tales of Topographic Oceans' on 8-track that was the funniest thing because it would fade out in the middle of a song and fade back in again, and when the tracks change, it was quite amusing.

I thought we were going to pull through and get one at Atlanta, one of the better tracks for me. But we do run good every time we come here. Some guys have this place figured out; we'll just have to go after them.

Thy many paths upon which people go, thy tracks for chariots and wagons to advance, upon which both good and evil men proceed, this road, free from enemies,and free from thieves, may we gain, with what is auspicious (on thee) be gracious to us!

We got to go to L.A., and that was pretty awesome. We did instrument tracks in Seattle, and we got to fly to L.A. and do the vocal parts and overdubs. That was pretty incredible. We got to see how it's really done.

Michigan has always been my favorite track. It just has everything going for it. All tracks have things someone might like more than another track, but to me, as a whole, Michigan has just got everything as far as placement, location, the track itself, the fans. A little bit of everything just seems like it goes a long way there. It's always a treat to go to Michigan, and when you run good there it helps. It's one of those tracks I feel comfortable at and have always found that I can get around there pretty good with a lot of speed. I'm looking forward to doing both the Cup and Busch events this weekend. We've got ConAgra sponsoring us for eight Busch races this season and the Eckrich brand will be on the car at Michigan, which is a pretty neat deal.

We're closing this thing down now. The next three tracks are all tracks that I'm excited about. So I'm leaving here with a smile on my face.

We really attempted it in a full-force Flaming Lips behemoth production style. We recorded 100 tracks of our beloved pedal steel guitar and 100 guitar overdubs for the music, and for the vocals we stacked all these crazy harmonies. We wanted to add different layers that people might expect from us, but we tried hard not to change the fundamental nature of the song.

We can't change the past. Those tracks have always been there and those races have always been there. What NASCAR has to look at is the future -- and this place is the future.

When taking a photo, I tend to look for one of the following: depth, symmetry, color or contrast. All of those things catch my eye to the point where I stop dead in my tracks to capture whatever it is that I've seen.

The crazy thing is that, if you add up the actual recording time, it was less than two weeks. But Mark was so busy that I got the tracks he mixed two at a time over a period of years. It was frustrating, because I had rough mixes of all these great songs, and he'd be like: 'Don't play them to a soul until they're finished!' I was a good girl scout, though.

We have six wheels in the dirt. Mars now is our sandbox, and we are ready to play and learn. I have to tell you, I've never seen so many people so excited about just seeing two tracks in the dirt.

What we learned in China Aviation Oil is that management who initially was doing a terrific job can go off the tracks and if you aren't on top of the situation on an ongoing basis you can end up losing a lot of money.

We designed this car to run for a long time, at road courses, short tracks, intermediate-sized tracks all the way to Daytona. You would be able to run the same foundation car, the frame, the cage, the body, all of the components that today are being swapped around as the cars are purpose-built for certain types of tracks. We're eliminating that with this car.

We did everything in the world we could possibly do to help our program and it has showed. We have run very, very well on short tracks this year and it's helped our program.

We've run up around the front at most of the intermediate tracks -- it just seems like something always strikes at some point to derail us from maintaining those strong runs, but our intermediate cars are better and stronger.

Track accountability is the best way to describe it. You're looking to see which dog accounts for the most tracks in the smoothest manner.

Tracks are grabbing at this like it's a panacea. I'm concerned it's not the answer.

Tracks like Iowa Speedway are not built every day. It's going to be a state-of-the-art facility,

We did these three tracks and flew back home. I don't even think the CD was mastered. We just mixed it and put it out. We wanted it to have that spur-of-the-moment, raw feel to it.

We're attacking these final tracks with 120% of our effort and we're going there with the plan to win and lead every lap.

We are dealing with classified material we are about to disclose. The government is just covering its tracks here.
