"... but downstairs, in the basement, are tens of thousands of old albums stacked or dumped all over the room, barely lit by a few light bulbs and littered with dust and dead bats. Shadow patronized the store for five years before they let him in this crypt, and as he says in the documentary, "Just being in here is a humbling experience for me, because you're looking through all these records and it's sort of like a big pile of broken dreams...Whether you want to admit it or not, 10 years down the line you'll be in here. So keep that in mind when you start thinking like, 'I'm invincible and I'm the world's best,' or whatever. Because that's what all these cats thought."
dj shadow is quite smart, no?
ah, the use of the word humble. i take that back. the last few weeks the word "perspective" has been popping up in my head a lot lately. maybe i'm growing up. maybe i just think i am.
gotta run, i think i'm supposed to be djing an afterparty in a few minutes.
