Miller (DJ Spooky) discussing the changing relationship of artist and audience in the electronic age * Bikini Kill singer Kathleen Harris describing the ways in which she tries to demystify her own performances and empower her audience * Paul Gilroy reclaiming the place of black artists who have been lost in the popular histories of rock and roll.
