  wow, I know Led Zep's lemon song was from Killing Floor. What I didn't know that Killing Floor wasn't attributed. For the other Led Zep songs, it was new to me that it was from other songs. Awesome video btw.

    Yep! I find that it has very philosophical implications for me. Prior to learning about Everything Is A Remix, I would agonize over how to create great work, great writing. I've since come to terms with the fact that everything is indeed a remix– so the best way to create good work is to consume as much high-quality work as possible, and then make as many remixes as you possibly can. Higher quality input, broader range of inputs, maximum volume output (without too much judgement about what "quality" means with regards to output– you don't always know in advance what will work and what will not.)

      I think you'll find this interesting then : http://www.psmag.com/books-and-culture/triumph-of-the-cyborg-composer-8507 http://www.psmag.com/books-and-culture/triumph-of-the-cyborg... Basically , a professor created an AI composer and he claims all great works are made by subconsciously splicing together bits of other works and a machine that does this can be truly creative. Here it's imitating Mozart : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vctssFH-M5c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vctssFH-M5c It's quite lacking in overall structure but there's definitely something interesting going on here.
