For some reason I didn't consider this before but YouTube is a virtual treasure trove of plunderphonic audiocollage videos. This is Negativland passing judgement on recent U.S. history in a, well, rather damning way. I'll try to make a point of posting interesting stuff of this sort on a regular basis.

The Bottom Line was actually published by Negativland on the "Free" album back in *1993*.

Kinda says something about the timelessness of the sentiment of "let's not fucking torture people yo".

I didn't realize that. Having said it, I really think they did their best work at that time. The CD that shipped with "The letter U and the numeral 2" was not only brilliant work, but it literally fortold all of the conflicts that are raging today about the Internet and Intellectual Property. They were way ahead of their time. Of course, that time is now, and so they release "No Business" which is mostly a rehash of the same material, but to me its frustrating. I want new material, and I want to know whats going to matter 10 years from now, and few are better at that than Negativland, and unfortunately, they don't seem to be dropping a lot of new material. Maybe I should be listening to their radio show.
