mike d quote from fridays Guardian

[Guy Incognito]

ok , so was away with the inlaws this week and they get the Guardian newspaper and on friday there was a best act ever article where they asked loads of different artists who their favourite act ever was and it was the usual dross of dull acts picking really obvious bands until i got to this bit:
Mike D from the beastie boys:

"Best" is tricky, santogold is really good. Diplo and this dude Switch, they have this grou called Major Lazer - they went down to Jamaica and got a lot of dancehall artists to do all this different stuff and they did all the music and the beats and everything. It isnt necessarilty gonna be an "important group" or whatever but i think the records gonna be kind of cool. But if you mean who do i look up to - well, then i would pick Hugh Jackman. He's the complete package!He can sing, dance, he can be wolverine. The mans an entertainer. Did you say this was for a gardening piece? Oh a Guardian piece. OK. Its not my are of expertise, but i'd be really into doing something for the gardening section - thats for the record.


man is a comedy genius, no idea about diplo/switch/major lazer tho, sounds interesting.
