Yes! A cutup/mashup related post! At last!
I’m really digging I Cut People atm – learnt of them via Skip to the End podcast (which learned of them via Mr Fab’s wonderful Music for Maniacs blog) and it’s a cross between Wayne Butane and Cassetteboy in my mind, with probably a little Negativland thrown in for good measure – all of which I love and have played on the podcast. So expect Parker Tapes style cutup merriment, mediabusting style attacks on culture, Hollywood and BUYBUYBUY attitude (as per the video above which is by I Cut People, the audio is by GITAR (i cut people and ellipse elkshow)) and various other audio anarchy.
Looks like I Cut People does a cutup album every year since 2005 – wow – all of which you can download for free or buy – and my favourites are mostly from the more recent albums such as March of the Monster Squads (purporting to be a film trailer for evil zombie Penguins meets Star Wars and phoney plastic Christian Slater LOL), Kung Fu What Would Jesus Do?, A Few Good Product Placements (YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE BACON!) and Merry Chris…Crisis which certainly is up there for Xmas-cutup merriment.
This video for GITAR’s ‘dead u r’ is not really worksafe nor for the squeamish but is very funny and good.
