but Petra Hayen has joined on violin and vocals!
Cooool. I really want to hear her a capella version of The Who Sell Out.
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

She does the whole album?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I've been meaning to look into that too.
Ooh look -- Irwin played some of it: [link]

Making music out of cut-up sampled "found" sounds is pretty old hat in electronic music really--eg Matmos made an album a couple of years ago entirely out of sounds sampled from surgical operations.

Not to mention Stockhausen, or Dean Elliot's (fifties) wacky lounge orchestrations built around items he found in junkyards.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

Yeah, the only thing that makes this different is that they specifically recorded people fucking for the labum, and then manipulated the sounds until they were unrecognizable.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I bought The Dresden Dolls album on iTunes... I love it as well, but the song that I am most obsessed with is "Girl Anachronism".

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
That is a pretty awesome song. I love pretty much every song on the album. "Half Jack" and "Missed Me" don't do as much for me, and "672" doesn't really count.

Well strictly speaking they weren't "sampled" as such but yeah.

"Half Jack" and "Missed Me" don't do as much for me, and "672" doesn't really count.
"Missed Me" is one of the best "scary, insane-o chick" songs ever. Admitadely, not a large genre that I'm aware of (at least, deliberate "scary, insane-o chick" songs). Until I paid close attention to the lyrics, I hadn't realized how scary.
