djBC's album of legit mashups: Strictly Mixed and Mashed

djBC, the mashup artist responsible for the amazing, illegal Beasties/Beatles "Beastles" albums, has produced a great albumof authorized mashups, in collaboration with Big D & the Kids Table, called "Strictly Mixed and Mashed." The best work on the CD sounds like vintage Trojan reggae crossed with -- well, a djBC mix. Link

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Copyfight eh? I must be missing something since the concept of version has been part of JA music history for decades now. Dont believe the hype that all that went down as some rights holder rebellion either, just follow the money and see who got paid (Juno Lawes, Bunny Lee) when and who died for the master tapes (King Tubby). Nowadays the money goes to Greensleves or Trojan but the song remains the same.
