Dulin: Pick one song that encapsulates your personality, and explain why?

Dulin: What influences your blip picks? Mood, nostalgia, new artist/song, social interaction, or other factors?
Greenfields47: I just blip the songs that pop in my head or reblip songs from my past blip list. I blip songs that other DJs may love or like and which is carefully selected, according to DJs and their different tastes.

Dulin: Any other thoughts to share?
Greenfields47: Keep blippin' DJs. It does much good for other DJs, more than you will ever know. There is too much good music, good musicians and good DJs in the world. You can't list all their good enough.
