interview with Junkie XL regarding music for games.

A Little Conversation // GamesIndustry.biz:

Obviously, the industry is trying to figure out in the next four or five years, how money can be made... You know, downloading music or downloading movies.

But, for me, the interesting part at this point, is that my name catches on out there. For instance, I just did the score for Need for Speed, and by the time it is Christmas, [the game] may have sold 5 to 6 million copies worldwide.

If you know that one game is played by three other people, you are talking about 18 million people in the next two months that will have heard Junkie XL music. It creates a demand on the internet for my music, whether it is bought legally or illegally. Because of that, it creates a demand for gigs. So, it really works for me. [emphasis mine]

God help me, I actually like this Junkie XL remixed Britney Spears song:

better

Feeling much better, and am back at work today. Probably at about 80%, though clearly my head's not normal:
As I was trying to take my cold medicines (Japanese doctors always give out at least three different pills it seems) a co-worker engaged me in conversation; I pulled out my earbud headphones to hear her, then promptly tried to put one of the pills in my ear.
