Because Quote by Jonny Greenwood

“If I'm on a train, with headphones, MP3s are great. At home, I prefer CD or vinyl, partly because they sound a little better in a quiet room and partly because they're finite in length and separate things, unlike the endless days and days of music stored on my laptop.” quote by Jonny Greenwood — Download Open image
