Do you remember the first beat you rapped over?

I saw that you posted a photo online of some Elvis impersonators in Tokyo, which is funny because I actually went a couple of years ago and ran into the same thing.

How do you approach projects differently if your work is commissioned as opposed to a release under your own name?

Do you find genre characterizations useful? How would you characterize the music you make with Bing & Ruth?

I read about the barn in which you made most of the last record (Clark, Warp Records) – how did that come about? I envision you looking on Craigslist or something for a place to hole up in.
