Olav Nilsen

"You could hear Elvis breathe on a record. Now they take it out as unnatural noise, extract the humanity and it sounds like an electronic, perfected piece of shit. I'd much rather hear an artist who can actually sing in front of a room with a guitar. Some of these artists go on the road and use tuners on the mic so they can't go out of pitch. That has nothing to do with talent, that has to do with bullshit."
