Himanshu Suri of Das Racist Explains The Mixtape
Moderator: “What’s a mixtape?”
Suri: “Well, we all liked the same girl, so we made a tape with all our favorite songs on it, and we gave it to her with a note that had Himanshu, Victor, and Ashok and three boxes and ‘who do you like?’ And she put in a fourth box and checked ‘Arcade Fire’.”
From today’s panel discussion in Washington, DC, on creativity and remix culture, as part of World’s Fair Use Day. (Which, as everyone knows, is today.)
Programming notice: our Washington correspondent Ana Marie Cox, who passed along this delightful morsel, will be interviewing the Das Racist guys tomorrow for the next installment of her as-yet-untitled GQ podcast. There might also maybe possibly be a live, in-studio performance. Find out next week when we post the podcast on GQ.com and here at the GQ Tumblr.
