With all the love we give mixtapes and remixes, you could understand how excited we got when we stumbled upon web activist and filmmaker Brett Gaylor’s new documentary RIP: A Remix Manifesto.  Andrew Kimmell and I watched this the other night and it is straight up awesome to watch.  The basis of the argument is plotted around mash-up king “Girl Talk” and the copyrights he is breaking while creating his ‘art.’  Expect to learn about the fucked up laws that are in place in America, who is trying to stop it, and why you should care.  You can download the movie directly from the RIP website under my favorite payment method…PAY WHAT YOU WANT! ($0 to $1000, you decide.) I see this popping up more and more these days, props to Radiohead for pathing the way for independent musicians, filmmakers and artists alike! Click Below..
