It's weird for me when someone asks me to do a remix as Girl Talk and not use samples.
In the past, hearing music had more value.
I guess in a way I try to avoid being labeled as a traditional DJ.
Nowadays when you buy music its like you're donating to that cause, because you most likely could hear it in some capacity for free.
A lot of people aren't aware of the years and years of humiliation and horrible shows I've played.
In 2008 it's easy to get huge before you have an album out with the Internet. I think that's great and you see a lot of artists like that. It seems like it's becoming rarer to find a band that has been touring for six years, doing small shows and then breaking out.
