Actually, the *original* track was called "Rocked By Rape" - "Rocked By Rave" is one of several remixes. For those who haven't heard it, the track features samples from AC/DC mixed with newscaster Dan Rather saying 'rocked by rape" and other lifted sounds. ECC and the label were actually threatened with a lawsuit from CBS and Dan Rather a year or two back when they caught wind of the record via a mention in SPIN Magazine. Full story at http://www.evolution-control.com/cbs.html

ECC released a bunch of what they called "Napster Bombs" - taking their own tracks and putting other artist names on them (some vaguely related, some not related at all). Again, you can get more info at http://www.evolution-control.com/culturejamming.html

Funny story about this. Mark Gunderson of ECC is a friend of mine, and he comes up to Toronto from Columbus for occassional visits. The last time he was here, Kid Koala's band Bullfrog was playing here in town, so we went to check them out. Koala was doing a little DJ set when we arrived, and literally the *second* we walked in the door, he put on "Whipped Cream Mixes"! Totally crazy, and totally true! Mark ran up to the side of the stage and handed Koala his card, and when KK finished cueing up the next track, he had a look at it, broke out into a huge smile, and got Mark to sign his copy of the 7". :) Greg --- Greg Clow - greg@stainedproductions.com - greg@feedbackmonitor.com concert & event promotions - http://www.stainedproductions.com electronic music radio/reviews/interviews - http://www.feedbackmonitor.com 158 Close Ave. 2nd Floor - Toronto, Ontario M6K 2V5 - Canada --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
