How the Internet Works

This is how I learned about a DJ named Girl Talk (without intending to):

So I was having a discussion with a reader in the comment section of a comic I posted on deviantart, when something I said reminded him of a song by Negativland. I looked the song up on youtube, and then started browsing other Negativland videos until I got to a lecture by one of Negativland's members about the nature of copyright, and he mentioned Girl Talk as an example of a contemporary artist who was remixing copyrighted material in an interesting way.

So I looked up Girl Talk on youtube, and I'm listening to his music right now, and it's awesome.

The end.
