"MP3s have very bad sound. If you find out you like good sound you have to go out and get a good unit to play over. If the guy making the record likes good sound, the price goes up. People have to have higher standards. Some might say ‘that’s elitist.’ You can get any song you want in the world. If you don’t care about good sound, none of this matters for a second. If no one cares, it will stay the same. Technology is talking us backwards, making it easier to make things worse.” – Lou Reed on technology, at SXSW. (via Variety)
