It’s 2008, one year after the industry cracked our code.  MTV began embracing indies.  Kanye married Facebook.  Pitchfork went Animal Collective.  RISD Punky Brewsters want to know if I can whip up a Joy Division/Michael Jackson mashup on the spot.  

An old friend, also a DJ and electronica producer, asked how long it would take for me to comfortably get to “Once In A Lifetime” by the Talking Heads.  If I were being honest?  45 minutes.

SMH.
