2009-10-11 ECC and the full Bob
Published: 2009-10-10 10:00:00Copyright-fighters the Evolution Control Committee mash up pop music and free-wheelin' Bob Dylan wanders through his many incarnations ... Part 1: The Evolution Control Committee under the leadership of Trademark G. (aka Mark Gunderson) has been challenging copyright laws since 1986, risking millions in copyright violation fines for what the ECC calls `music´. The ECC is credited with the creation of the Mash Up or Bastard Pop genre of blended pop songs, a style popular with young listeners today. In this session TradeMark G talks about the ECC´s work and demonstrates one of its recent products, the VidiMasher 3000. Part 2: We go the full Bob — certainly not the Robert — always the Bob and for nearly half a century, consistently elusive. Whether poetic or philosophical, political or playful, socially conscious or spiritual, Mr Dylan just keeps on bobbing along with his highly-eclectic followers. We listen as the young man rubs shoulders with the old man – and the many Bobs in between. for music details, please click on 'show transcript'.
