- However, MTV2 did do a bunch of DM videos in a row the other day. Much Music is

- Wide Angle and their early remixes. But some of their remixes
- are awful. PNG, for one. They're becoming samey. Thankfully they're

- Hmmm I see what you're saying but I'm talking about how his live show
- is always a dj set. I enjoy a lot of his music (have all of his
- albums) and have seen him spin three times and he's real good.
-
- I think I would enjoy it more if he played live because there are a
- lot of his songs he doesn't play when he dj's. I was so looking
- forward to him possibly playing Next To Nothing the first time I saw
- him live.. at that time I didn't know he was going to dj.
