Things that Fly!

I was listening to CJSR earlier today and they were spinning some electronica. I'm a recent fan, synth is cool and the extraneous beats play well on me. The DJ starts talking about infinity and I'm like "Wha? It's not 4:20". It was in fact an introduction for the next song. He breaks out this somewhat philosophical argument about how he thinks thoughts of infinity destroy creativity. He explains that expression easily gets mixed up when large to endless amounts of variables are mixed together. He says that often focus is lost when artists try convey such large perspectives. I'm thinking wow this is pretty intense I can't wait to hear what he's going to play. He goes onto explain how he praises this next artist for keeping his focus small and for really exploring a simple idea. He says not many people can use a nintendo like this guy can. The artist (I wish I could find a sample) called something like Nintenguy or Nintengo uses the 8 bit sound processor from the original Nintendo to compose music. It was horrible. I know this doesn't add up to much but I thought it was quite humerous after the DJ spilled this deep introduction for a guy who mixes using a nintendo.
