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!

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!

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?

Does Canada, or any other government, provide a rationale for why it's legal to end your own life, but illegal to be assisted in doing so? There seems to be an obvious tension, where on the one hand, the government is saying that consenting to your own death is enough not to make ending your own life illegal, but consenting to someone else helping you end your own life is not enough to protect that other individual.
