Saw them at Glastonbury, which was very good (or was it them? The London gig where they were in Australia mentioned in the video I think was at Bangface, which I also saw, but apparently only saw DJ Rubbish :-/)…now Cassetteboy does a TED-style lecture into their history, with some unheard tracks. Shame these have been shortened, but it’s a good guide to their history…I remember hearing The Parker Tapes back in the day via Kirk, which I loved. Mashup gold.
They make some great points about the fact that cutups and mashups should be legal, that the restrictions make better art (something I’ve always said about A vs B compared to multimashes and the nostalgia ADHD likes of Girl Talk) and that the lack of money also means they never took it seriously which again can make radically funny work.
