This is one of my favorite slam poets. I have watched this one for a while, but analyzing it after I've taken this class, it is clear how many references and actual headlines he has taken from history, and how his art is simply a reflection upon what is and what has happened. So it's not original, it has its base, but it's beautiful art that is new and unique and important. An interesting controversy

This is a site indirectly related to media/copyright issues. Participatory Politics is a site that has worked for an "Open Congress" website, as well as many other avenues, that will allow for more transparency with the government. "It's the best way to track legislation in the US Congress and get the real story about what's happening."

The similarities drawn between Pocahontas and Avatar on video - there has been a lot of criticism that they are the same story, and therefore, there is nothing new: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGOCodaM4UM

A little less about remixing, a little more about the incredible nature of mixing in general - this kind of virtual choir reminds me of the way they describe the reggae music coming together from different instruments in different locations: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WhWDCw3Mng&ob=av2e

A cool website that gives you the basics of remixing, specifically with a program called Audacity: http://www.mediadefendr.com/

I really like The Water Lily Pond of Monet's remixed!

Remixing in theatre?
This is called Warp Tube from a show called Super Claudio Bros.: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bIuEjhCx_s

This is the Underground Pipe Theme from Super Mario Bros.: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiSBBNZmgk4&feature=related

How does taking the hook from one and transferring it to the other to create an original work play into this?

This is a song that we got tagged for having "copyright" issues by YouTube

We do all of our own arrangements, but it is definitely taken from/representative of another work...

The whole culture of dubstep is all about sampling and similar beats and remixing - an interesting concept
