The Grey Album
I got ahold of The Grey Album by DJ Dangermouse, and I think it's very good. This album is a mashup of the Beatles "The White Album" and Jay-Z's "The Black Album". I already own the former and will now buy the latter.
What makes this music even more interesting is that it's apparently illegal to distribute, as the source music is used without permission. This is understandable but unfortuante -- it's a new, creative work of art that deserves to be appreciated (IMHO). Ironically, EMI's supression of the work has of course made it more popular -- I would probably not have heard of it if it wasn't for the controversy. (The so-called Streisand Effect).
