Remix This (Calling All DJs)

Journalist Greg Palast, whose investigative reporting revealed massive voter fraud in the 2000 and 2004 U.S. presidential elections, has a remix contest going at his web site. He's inviting musicians to download audio tracks from his latest book, Armed Madhouse, and mix them with music or sound effects. Notes the site: The Palast Investigative Fund, Palast Productions, Creative Commons, Alternative Tentacles Records, and Air America Radio are proud to present the Armed Madhouse Remix Contest. The Palast Investigative Fund is offering tracks from the audio book by Greg Palast, “Armed Madhouse” online under a Creative Commons BY-NC license, so that music producers all over the world can easily create remixes from the NY Times bestseller’s audio book. All eligible entries will compete against each other, and will be voted on by the public. The top 5 remixes will win prize-packages - including being featured on Greg’s next spoken-word CD with Alternative Tentacles Records. To play along, go to the site, where you can download source materials for your remixes. Or just enjoy the pieces of Palast's new book.
