Peter Gabriel Wants You to Re-Shock the Monkey
PreacherTom writes "The party line for the music industry has been clear: discourage music downloads at all cost. However, singer Peter Gabriel is taking things in a different direction. In order to promote his own label, he is actually encouraging people to not only download his music, but also adapt it into something more modern. In doing so, he actually posted a sample pack of Shock the Monkey consisting of vocals and other pieces of the original multitrack recording. Some in the music business would call this the commercial equivalent of hiring kidnappers to babysit. In actuality, Gabriel is pleased with the results."
So HE'S the one behind those insipid "shock the monkey" banner ads that inspired me to write AdBlock! I am calling upon all wise men to boycott Peter Gabriel. It shouldn't be hard, considering he's just some stupid blogger.
to remix Peter Gabriel and Paris Hilton's new song and call it Shock the Junkie

I feel better already.
Somebody just spoke of losless audio on Slashdot without mentioning Ogg FLAC. What is this world coming to?
This sig intentionally left blank.
"Sometimes"?
It's alright, I already have enough blank CDs, thank you.
I get that "tea" is your code for marijuana, but what are "milk" and "sugar" supposed to be?

Am I the only one who thinks that this is a completely unreasonable BPM to work with? 148.5 I could understand. Ah well... perhaps I can hack up a remix in spite of that.

You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.
I started to read your post but then it was too long and I couldn't figure out what to do with all that plain text (not one single flash file in your whole damn post!) so I ran off to Starbucks to get a nice Grande No water Extra Chai Chai (because chai is like tea, right?) but on my way I tripped in my baggy pants (looked pretty damn good while doing it, too) and by the time I got back there was a new lead story on /. so I read that instead. So what was your point again? And be sure to sum it up in four words or less. I remember it had something to do with Starbucks.
