Why did you decide to tell everyone that you were at the bowling alley? Wouldn't you have not been treated weirdly if you'd just kept silent?

Baauer:

Have you found that "Harlem Shake" turning into a meme has limited your ability to play the song in party settings? Or that it has changed the "feel" of the song for you or others?

How has the proliferation of "Harlem Shake" helped and/or hurt you as a musician?

Nick Hook:

I really enjoy your XLR8R column. Maybe you've covered this, but if someone wanted to start making electronic music, perhaps they want to release something, but not make it their career, what gear should they get and/or what advice would you give them?

Thanks!

I actually have another question if you don't mind. Are you concerned that the increasing attacks on abortion and birth control in the US (I'm not sure of the situation in Canada), and the ideology (religion etc.) underpinning those attacks, makes physician-assisted suicide less likely in the foreseeable future?

Yeah, it's weird, because when Rustie dropped it for the first time(?) on his Essentials mix, it was a standout track (at least for me). But I thought it was really interesting how different that track sounded once it went viral. If I listen to that mix now, most of the songs I have heard in other contexts, but they're still good, but Harlem Shake just takes on a different flavor. Anyway, I still really like Yaow!

Thanks for answering! Looking forward to seeing you in NYC, whenever that is!
