A couple days ago I ran accross this CNN article about DJ Dangermouse's critically acclaimed, but illegally recorded Grey Album.

As the name suggests, DJ Dangermouse took the a cappella version of Jay-Z's Black Album and remixed beats and instrumental tracks from the Beatles' White Album. The result is somewhat odd, but oddly charming. Aside from the tracks with Rolling Stone recommended (99 Problems (over bits of Helter Skelter and Change Clothes (over speeded up harpsichords from Piggies) I'm kind of fond of What More Can I Say (over music and some backing vocals from While My Guitar Gently Weeps).

The audio files are available for streaming (illegally on the part of the website owner, but I'm not sure whether streaming a copy once is illegal or fair use, ask your lawyer) at this site and information on the typically ineffective mass internet protest planned for next week can be found at this site.

Anyway it just seems that this is the sort of thing which would fascinate Alec and be the subject of lunch conversation for a week.
