Every American college student goes to college with a hard drive. They take their laptop. There's not a CD player in sight. (Jonny Greenwood)

I don't mind when people are telling me about their 1971 Firebird, but it's the same thing as people telling me about their car or something. It's fine if you have an interest.

Jonny Greenwood
