Wednesday, June 08, 2005Books and Music Collide
As many of you know (at least the many of you who have found my site only because of the Fluff Girls Song), I'm a book writer who also loves and dabbles in music. And while I love good ol' fashion rock and roll (not technically true -- I think rock and roll existed only for a short while in the '50s and '60s; after that, "rock" as we know it grew into other genres of popular music. Heavy metal is no more rock and roll than disco), my preference these days tends toward experimental electronic music.
So when new, home-grown, remix theory clashes with contemporary classic literature, well, I'm in heaven. It's all going down at PenguinRemixed. Penguin -- who, it must be said, is one of the only fiction publishers (like UglyTown) to have a strong recognizeable brand -- has opened up access to samples from their audiobook library to allow musicians to "remix" these spoken word samples into song. I have only listened to a handful of the mixes on the site, and all I can say is, WOW. Last night, I cranked out a new magazine article and a couple ads for Crime Spree Magazine, and I woke up early this morning to find that I was sick. Too much travelling, I imagine. So when I'm not resting, I'm drinking green tea and listening to these hypnotic tracks. // posted at
