Yeah, blame Les Paul. So there you go. But I think remixing now is wedded to digital technology. It's my job. No, I think you're making art, and those people are also making art, and it's really a question of what's the successful art object, and how much effort you put into it doesn't necessarily translate into the success level.
Some people use four-track.
It just might take them longer. The Pastels are someone I liked a decade ago and haven't been as interested in recently, so the things I like on the album are by people who I'm more interested in now, like Cornelius. And you would like those people anyway. 12-inches don't make money. Every time you release a 12-inch, there's some DJs and hipsters who want to buy it, but everyone else wants to buy the album.
