Cory Arcangel: Bruce Springsteen Glockenspiel Addendum
"The Ghost of the Future of Rock and Roll" – PopMatters
"This is the kind of brazen scheme that most folks dream up over bong-hits only to sober up and abandon" - Pitchfork
"The potential to wreak small but significant mischief on rock history" - The Wire
"Hyperminimalist" - Artforum
"In 2006, on a whim, I decided to go uptown to Sam Ash music store, buy a Glockenspiel and record glockenspiel parts for the songs on Bruce Springsteen's Born to Run record that did not already feature that instrument. Most everything I have ever made has been ignited from a similar semi-destructive whim. A certain idea, most often against my better judgment, mixes with my slight OCD, and I can't stop thinking about it until it is completed. Some people count their steps on the way to work...I do this" - Cory Arcangel
