Quote

In 1990 if you heard a song on the radio and you really wanted to hear it again you'd have to buy it on tape or CD. Hearing music doesn't hold that kind of value anymore because anyone can hear it. It's going to become even easier.

Sometimes the show needs that kick in the ass so being able to sing a Nirvana song kind of takes it there. I've grown up putting on extravagant shows with Girl Talk so when I'm playing I like to go nuts. After 30 minutes of pointing and clicking it's nice to scream into a microphone for three minutes.

I've been cataloguing samples for years, I have this massive library. Songs come out everyday so it's never ending.

I use minimal software to make my music - a wav editor and a calculator for my beats to make sure everything falls on mathematical precision. If you were just mapping this out visually, it works by math. I guess it's slightly engineering influenced.

I'll put out an album, and people review it, and some people love it, and some people tear it apart. By nature of the project, I've always wanted this to be something where people react strongly to it.

As the times are changing, you don't hear as many sample issues with rap artists. Part of that has to do with production styles these days, but the nature of copyright is also changing as the internet becomes more of a giant.

It's hard to play a laptop in the midst of band and have people want to buy your t-shirts and CD's.

A lot of people aren't aware of the years and years of humiliation and horrible shows I've played.

It's easy to hate on things that are close to your world that aren't exactly what you're doing.

The whole basis of the music is that people have these emotional attachments to these songs - whether they love it or hate it. Being able to manipulate that is a really easy way to connect with people.

That's kind of a nostalgia thing. Nirvana was my first favorite band, in third or fourth grade. Then I got out of them. But one day in college a few buddies and myself all started listening to them again and it blew me away. They still stand out as my favorite band ever.

I'm trying to separate myself from other people by having songs that would be considered - technically - original things. I don't seek out mashups. I'm associated with the whole mashup movement, and it's too bad because I'm not a huge fan of them.

I have my small little cult following, I play random shows from house parties to opening up for rock bands.

I've always enjoyed taking pre-existing sound, songs I like, songs I want to share, and manipulating them and trying to do my own version. So just knowing there's that potential for that thing out there that I haven't discovered yet, really gets me motivated every day.

I hear something I like, and sometimes, I think it's gonna work, and I will cut it up, try it out, try to work with other material. Sometimes, it falls flat, and other times, it works out, so in that way, I'm constantly listening to music because I enjoy it.

I do have some weeks coming up in the summer where I will actually be in my house, and I love working on new music and all of that.

I love getting out there and traveling and doing shows and all of that. But when I can be home, it's a special time.

I didn't change much in terms of my setup or how I was making my music. It's evolved to this point where I think people look at it as one big traveling party.

I still like weird music but there's such an overabundance that it's hard for me to stay enthusiastic about it.

When someone is buying a sample-based album, they are investing in the concept of that album. If they really like the original source material, they can go buy it.

It's weird for me when someone asks me to do a remix as Girl Talk and not use samples.
