"At best, that record is just quirky and odd and really illegal. I never imagined people would play those songs in clubs. I also think the people who love it tend to love it for the wrong reasons, and the people who hate it tend to hate it for the wrong reasons. I think some people love it for what it supposedly did to the music industry, which was not my intent. I did not make 'The Grey Album' for music fans. I made it to impress people who were really into sampling." -- -- Brian Burton (a.k.a. Danger Mouse, one half of Gnarls Barkley) tells Chuck Klosterman (writing for the NY Times Sunday Magazine) how he views his breakthrough album, The Grey Album.

"The rules have changed. Being on TV these days and getting a lot of push in publcitiy don't mean SH*T. I mean look at The Features. They were on that Jimmy Kimmel show and it probably didn't help them move 10 extra units. That's because these days ANYBODY can be on television. ... It was cool that Be Your Own Pet were on Conan, but I doubt it will help them sell. Television is flooded with people, all trying to make it." -- NemesisBoy in an Open Letter To Nashville Bands
