hmm. about the remixing thing and leaving or not leaving the original
intact. if you want to hear the original then listen to the original. I
get rather tired of hearing a song that is remixd by 10 different people and
it all sounds mostly the same. why not go a little off on it. The future
music Ae interview has them going on about how sometimes they are just
indulging themselves. more power to'em. whatever. people do what they do
and you like or not. blah.
