I guess it doesn't surprise me but I had no idea about all that Led Zeppelin stuff and they're easily my favourite classic rock band. It's just so blatant, which leads me believe that it wasn't malicious music stealing, just that rules of appropriation were probably still in their infancy back then. Interesting nonetheless and definitely looking forward to part IV. Remixing is a folk art but the techniques involved — collecting material, combining it, transforming it — are the same ones used at any level of creation.

She was a great inspiration to me. For more information, visit EverythingIsARemix.info RobGWilson.com So it is with every new thing. Progress happens when all the factors that make for it are ready, and then it is inevitable. --Henry Ford Part III was just released.. Creativity isn't magic.
