My point is that mixing together formal innovations and developing a world, an aesthetic, a vibe—creating a package where all the parts work together incredibly effectively—that's a big thing, a big value add, not to be scoffed at. It isn't the end-all be-all, pay homage to the places they got their parts—but c'mon now, the people they got parts from got their parts from elsewhere also. That's just what ideas are, bla bla bla I'm not saying anything new we all know this, an idea "is" a remix, just like an idea "is" a metaphor (Hofstadter, Lakoff, pick your vocalist)
