News Flash: Most Americans Still Idiots
Christ on a fucking cracker.
I Loves Me Some Re-Mixes.
So, hot on the heels of the last big bootleg sensation, DJ Dangermouse’s “Grey Album”, which mashed together the vocals from Jay-Z’s “Black Album” with music hooks from the Beatles’ “White Album”, there’s a new free-download album: London Booted: A Tribute to The Clash, in which DJs from all over the world did remixes and mash-ups of the tracks from The Clash’s classic “London Calling” album. I like to think that the do-it-yourself nature of the bootleg remix and mash-up trend is pretty true to the original punk spirit, so I got a big kick out of this.
Go to the site, and download the album–but first please click on one of the charity ads at the top of the page, which includes “Future Forests”, a favorite charity of Joe Strummer.
A Request
Folks–please stop sending me copied transcripts and links to threads at RPGnet. I’m not interested in reading crap like that when I can’t respond to defend myself, even if you’re only sending it to “let me know what’s going on” or to ask me what I think about what’s being said. I’m trying very hard not to give a shit, and just walk away, but that’s made incredibly difficult when folks keep pointing out yet another incident of posters (usually ones infamous for attacking me in the past) stepping up to take their shot at the effigy.
I’m not interested. Any further such emails will be deleted unread, and the sender will be added to my junk mail filter.
