Runnin' With The Devil & RiP: A Remix Manifesto

Just stumbled across this, Runnin' With the Devil but edited to isolate the lead vocals... gives an interesting perspective on the song and the virtuosity of the vocals (and you gotta love the kazoo): http://www.chunklet.com/images/upload/6/audio_file/Runnin%27%20With%20The%20Devil.mp3

I'd meant to post this much earlier, but it had slipped my mind, this film came through town last month, a NFB documentary on the issues surrounding copyright and remix, with Girl Talk serving more or less as the protagonist. Might be useful as an entry point for the political economy class we have coming up. You can watch the whole thing online here, and remix if you like, the filmmakers put their money where their mouth is: http://www.opensourcecinema.org/book/rip-remix-manifesto-1-meet-girl-talk

And just for laughs, I got this as a forward, perhaps an example of heavy metal analysis without a critical eye (click on image for enlargement):
