“Reluctant as I am to add to the mountain of interpretations of Somebody That I Used To Know seemingly taking over their own area of the internet, I couldn’t resist the massive remixability that such a large, varied yet connected bundle of source material offered… Thank you to everyone who has responded to Somebody That I Used To Know via YouTube. It’s truly amazing! ”
— Wally De Backer (a.k.a. Gotye) posting his mashup of “Somebody That I Used To Know” fan videos inspired by Kutiman’s “Thru-You” project
