I am really really enjoying this mash-up by dj BC of hip-hop and dixieland jazz. Louie Armstrong and Method Man? Dirty Dozen Brass Band and Old Dirty Bastard? How does that work? And yet it so does. Oh and did I mention that you can download the whole album for free?

(Uh, once upon a tme, this was going to be a lit blog. I wonder what happened to that.)

British graffiti artist Banksy has doctored 500 copies of Paris Hilton’s debut album in 48 record stores in the UK, according to lots of sites including The Superficial. He dubbed over her songs with remixes with titles like Why am I Famous?, What Have I Done? and What Am I For? He also changed the pictures on the CD sleeve to include one of her topless and one of her with a dog’s head. Look at them here. Or just view my favorite:

This is up there with Beau Sia’s parody of Jewel’s poetry book, A Night Without Armor II: The Revenge. (I think I might be the only person who has heard of that book.)

UPDATE: I have now thoroughally enjoyed Banksy’s website. Check out his gallery. I liked this one and this is my new desktop.
