First try Bit Meddler, Rude Ass Tinkerer, then 100% of UK Bootleg craze. Not to mention V/vm, and Speedranch and Jansky Noise. Oh, I forgot People Like Us and Negativeland and about 40 other appropriation artists like Wobbly, and Evolution Controll Committe. Oh, yeah, then there's the origionator of it all, John Oswald. Just because you think it's "new" doesn't nesiccarily mean it is.

WFMU 91.1 www.WFMU.org freeform radio for over twenty years. there are plenty of others, tons of college stations, I know there are some good ones on the west coast...

He's a smart cookie that can be said. I also think it's a pretty good album. Some people just aren't as infatuated by heariong the same songs cut up over and over again (Missy?? please give it a rest!). I am afraid that this will trigger a hundred more remixes of the same material...

Yeah. I try not to be a "hater" and I also try not to get too emotional when defending something. Go get the Plunderphonics box set and you'll see how it's REALLY done.
