"The first single I ever bought was ‘Roxanne’ by The Police, and then my first album was ‘Setting Sons’ by The Jam – I bought it with some birthday money. It has soldiers on the front and it’s got Union Jacks and a bulldog and it’s got ‘Little Boy Soldiers’ on it… it’s a pretty good record."

"This album is incredibly inspiring for me. The way he experiments with sounds and drums and voices is really amazing. He was really thinking out of the box for this one. But my favorite thing is how he conceptualizes songs. Like in 'The Ballad of Dorothy Parker 'or 'Starfish and Coffee.' Seriously there is no one like him!"

"There's a simplicity and vulnerability in Justin Vernon's voice that's very easy to listen to. I love this debut album because it feels so lyrically intimate and like there's no one and nothing between you and it. No distracting production to take you away from the feeling. 'Skinny Love,' 'Flume,' and 'Blindsided' are some of the tracks I love."

"Time is a science fiction album. It has songs about falling in love with robots. It has songs about hover cars and time travelling back to the 1980s. BUT THE 1980s HADN’T HAPPENED YET! Why do you not think this is the best music made by humans? Do you not like laser guns? What is wrong with you?"
