Nonlinear Nonfiction Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 If you don't know, or missed this one...check it out. Dean Gray's 'American Edit' is Very Cool (with a capital 'V' and 'C'). Basically this guy going by the name of Dean Gray took Green Day's album 'American Idiot' and mashed it up with all kinds of great songs including U2, Johnny Cash, Travis, Oasis, and a lot more into an album called 'American Edit.' He didn't just do it, but he did a really really good job. All he asked was that listeners donate some moolah to charity. Of course, Warner Bros. shut him down. Interestingly, Billy Joe Armstrong (lead-singer of Green Day) thought the project was pretty cool, too. Read these articles, they explain it much better than I can and between the three of them you should be well on your way to experiencing one of the most interesting musical adventures in recent memory... Wikipedia description w/ track breakdown. Boing Boing article Download the American Edit mp3s(if you want the torrent, just follow the link at the bottom of the Wikipedia page). Enjoy!
