"It's too early to say exactly what that is, and whether it more four than five stars, or even a bit on the side three, but one thing is for sure - they value our custom, and are happy with the response, in their own mannered nagging Radiohead way, even if we've only paid the 45 pence service charge for all these blessed, blissed out, conventionally anguished songs, and will not venture into the world of posh boxes and associated 'thought-experiment' merchandising." (Paul Morley, sobre In Rainbows dos Radiohead, no blogue do Observer) Música: Under the Blacklight dos Rilo Kiley; sobretudo "Dreamworld".

"It's safe to say, at least for the time being, that electronic music's futurist impulse has run its course. From Kraftwerk and Cybotron through Chicago house and Detroit techno, electronic music has always rooted itself firmly in a futurist continuum stretching back to the beginning of the 20th Century. Acid house began with a project called Phuture, after all, and throughout the '90s, electronic music generally mirrored Western culture's technological optimism, secure in the belief that advances in hardware and software were creating a better world one circuit at a time." (Philip Sherburne, no De:Bug) Música: Greatest , Bee Gees.

" …but the important thing is not to let the idea die with the man. There isn’t “that” NME anymore or that Wire and probably no real equivalent, even or especially online, but some of us continue regardless, because we have to, and in my case for reasons which go far beyond music, and we continue to weave our crazily rational colours because its colours they are finer than the grey I peer out and see everywhere else. " (Marcello Carlin, tributo a Richard Cook no Freaky Trigger)

"The story that Sinead has offered Britney her home as a refuge is heartwarming, even if the offer is unlikely to be taken up; the right of women to go mad, to break down, and not be ridiculed or vilified for doing so, and even, or especially, to be helped gently back to recovery, cannot be underemphasised, particularly in a world which otherwise shows all the signs of regressing to the Dark Ages. Doherty is cheered; Winehouse is jeered." (Marcello Carlin, em The Blue in the Air)

His advice to aspiring music journalists was typically pithy: "Describing a piece of music in a way which isn't either cliche-ridden or merely fanciful is desperately difficult. I suppose if I have any advice to offer, it's the simple truth that you have to listen properly, and hard, and ask yourself what's going on and why." (Sobre Richard Cook, recentemente falecido, na The Wire) Música: Home Again , Edwyn Collins.
