Wait, Are NFTs the New Creative Commons?

When Creative Commons appeared to tacitly endorse the NFT boom, it set off a conversation about the future of ownership and techno-utopian ideals.

Trump’s ‘I Want Nothing’ Rant Transformed Into Songs By The Ramones, Morrissey, and More

President Donald Trump went on a bizarre rant at the White House yesterday, selectively quoting from Ambassador Gordon Sondland’s damning testimony about Trump’s crimes. Countless people have pointed out that Trump’s handwritten notes from the rant looked like lyrics to a song, inspiring some people on Twitter to put those words to music. And surprisingly,…

This Remix App Has Me Addicted to Making My Own ‘Oh No’ Comics

Webcomic Name is one of my favorite ongoing gag comics. Despite the core repetiveness of its premise, it’s earnest and deadpan in a way that’s consistently charming. Alex Norris weaves in a goofy, self-deprecating vulnerability to ever comic. Now, you can make your own! This app isn’t new, exactly, but I just discovered it today,…

Negan and Ed Sheeran Are a Surprisingly Perfect Duo in ‘Shape of You’ Remix

Ed Sheeran’s “Shape of You” is one of those annoyingly catchy songs that just worms its way into your ears whether you like it or not. Therefore, it kind of makes sense to pair it up with a guy who physically wormed his way in and out of several ears… and by that I mean…

Today’s Dance Party Is to This Song Tribute to the Droids of Star Wars

This remix from Eclectic Method is based entirely around the true heroes of the Star Wars universe: the droids. Seriously, though, just try to convince me that Artoo isn’t the most badass character in the all six movies. [via Tastefully Offensive]

Reworking “Radiophonic Satie”

Larry Johnson has again done me the honor of reworking something I posted, in this case my ukulele-modular piece “Radiophonic Satie,” which he has extended into a stretched ambience of unearthly qualities. He calls it a “Halo Remix,” a choice that I interpret to mean he’s taken my project description at its word and made…

This 80s Version of the Game of Thrones Theme Is Totally Radical

If you think about it, the battle for control over the lands of Westeros would totally still make sense if it were set in the 1980s. It now even has an appropriate remix of its theme song as written and performed by Steve Duzz. No seriously, think about it. You’ve got two primary superpowers jockeying…

Making Music from “Making Waves Make Waves”

Larry Johnson, whose music is often credited to L-A-J, has taken the nascent modular synthesis experiment that I recently posted, “Making Waves Make Waves,” and reworked it into something considerably more nuanced and complex, for which I am quite thankful. I’ve had field recordings reworked by others in the past, but this is the first…

Pogo takes sounds from movies and transforms them into new songs. This time he remixed Back to the Future into a song dedicated to all the lovers out there—I love it when they say things like that on the radio. Pogo had a few big hits in the internet already—these are some of them: Well,…

Sludge Arcade Techno

Glia’s “[[ LOW ]” is expert sludge techno, the beat the sound of gears dripping with dirty axle grease, trying to make traction but slipping often enough to make the whole thing sound temporary, fragile. The track doesn’t linger in the dark, either. The playful addition of some arcade-quality sounds, as much pinball as Galaga,…

Watching music videos without the music is pretty damn funny

This is genius. Mario Wienerroither replaces the music from popular music videos with imagined sound effects and noises of what’s actually happening in the music video. If you see someone jumping around, you’ll hear jumping around and not the song. The result? An awkwardly funny mashup of artists dancing by themselves to no tunes, making…
