Well, rarely, once in a while, miscommunications/misunderstandings happen
and one DJ might say "I made this" to a friend, instead of "I made this mix."
This happened to me once while playing a tape in a friend's car just after I
bought a bunch of new gear.
But this isn't what Taylor meant. I think he meant that DJ's get more praise
for playing songs/tracks than do artists for making them.
I think this just has to do with the sole fact of UNAVAILABILITY of the
artists; i.e., DJ's are pretty much more accessible than artists.

as for me, I'm a "no-name" DJ...never really've been paid for gigs or clubs,
though I've spun many a time at parties & big clubs (well, this is Houston
- and Austin - so not THAT big) with permission of DJ friends.
My heart's discovery of trAHHnce music is a great feeling...one I have not
had in a long time. This music is screaming to get out on the dance floor...
but, this is Houston...*sigh*
Though, friends and I are thinking of a Club venture...soon as we find a
cheap place (monetarily cheap, that is!) but, back to the point of 'tude,
as a DJ I don't have that elitist attitude like a lot of Houston techno DJ's,
and I know cause they're friends (or acquaintances atleast).
