Fortyone - Fawlty One Towers

On the way for looking for some Drum Samples, I found the following (http://www.41music.net/free/albums/FLUV029/index.html) linked off of Sample Swap (http://sampleswap.org/).


It's a collection of songs made with samples of Faulty Towers and samples available off of the Sample Swap site. Each song has an accompanying video, with the cuts of the video relating to the played samples. Some of the concepts in these songs are just brilliant.

A great icon of pop culture remixed to the modern world.

Nathan "Flutebox" Lee and Beardyman @ Google UK - Great performance and some of the best beat boxing I've seen.

A post to remind me that I have seen it and like it:

If you haven't seen the Muppets Popcorn - with the Swedish Chef then I recommend you watch this.
Almost a remix but at the very least a great and talented rendition.

Pogo

Pogo, my new hero.

From the land of Wait Awhile, Pogo brings something unique and new to a sound scape saturated with the normal and seemingly obvious. I'm not sure that remixing would be an appropriate name for this style of creative output; even so, I had a strong feeling of association from the work that Pogo does, to that of The Avalanches and their album Since I Left You (Which by the way hit the 10 year anniversary recently).

I strongly recommend checking out the work that Pogo produces, most of his tracks are available for download here: http://www.pogomix.net/downloads/

However some songs, like Upular, are only available from YouTube:
