pop will anally rape itself...

Glitch. In the dysfunctional family of POP, I imagine the bootleg/bastard pop/mash-up scene as the off-the-rails younger sister, gum chewing, alcopop swilling, promiscuous - like BadSandy from Grease. Glitch is the hairy psychotic brother who is kept locked in the attic, and fed from a tray which is slid under the door - more Oliver Reed than Olivia Newton-John. Taking it's inspiration from the 1996 Discovery Channel documentary "When CD's go BAD", Glitch takes a perfectly good song and fucks with it , hard. As you can imagine, this quite often Does Not Work.

But then there are the other times...

Eater: Got No Brains (Poj mix)

(Poj is the undisputed teenmeister of glitch, barely weaned yet wielding Acid Pro with a chainsaw sculptor's genius: Poj's site) (Info on Eater)

My all time favourite glitch has to be this, a classic track by a pop princess, mangled and twisted into a new and strangely beautiful form:

Soundhog: Britney in a Blender

(Soundhog's site is here , but it would apear that the Big Bad Pop Cop has slapped him with a cease and desist order, so his tunes are offline - however, there are details of dj dates and the opportunity to sign up for a mailing list, so go visit anyway!)
