OK, I found a place that allows uploading and streaming, called MyBloop.com. So, with that, I give you Collage.

Back in elementary school, people made collages by cutting out pictures and pasting them together to make something else. Musically, collage is the same thing; take a bunch of audio samples and paste them together. This differs from the use of samples in regular music, in that the sampling is the whole point.

Sometimes this is just for fun; see tracks 1 and 2. Oftentimes, they get political; see 3 and 4. 5 is from a project called Dictionaraoke, where artists sampled the online speaking dictionaries, recorded the lyrics of songs, and pasted them over MIDI tracks. 6 is from another silly project called Free Speech for Sale, which was mostly advertising-based.

Finally, we close with the granddaddy tracks by Negativland (NSFW, especially the 'radio mix'). To get the full history of these tracks, you would have to read the 270 page

Fair Use : The Story of the Letter U & the Numeral 2

, but a shorter version can be found on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negativland#The_U2_record_incident.

Enjoy!
