the madonna remix project

in a vain attempt to stop P2P users swapping songs from Madonna's 'American Life' album, the lady herself released a series of 'dummy' files onto KaZaA. these are full length files but only the first few seconds contain sound, a recording of Madonna saying 'What the fuck do you think you're doing?'. presumably this was supposed to inspire guilt and repentant hearts in the sinful 'thieves'... but instead it seems to have been counterproductive... such a perfect sample is just crying out to be remixed!

several artists have already had a go... if you have a remix of your own, please email me with a link to the file (do not email the file directly as i am not providing hosting space! this is just an archive of links!)

credit and respects have to go to Carl Jacobsen of Cakewalk who was the first to suggest that we could remix the file... and to the Pho mailing list, where it all started....

many thanks go to www.anti-dmca.org for kindly offering to provide hosting space for the remixes - all files are now online once again, and i apologise for the disruption during the relocation. i have now established a mirror site courtesy of my friend 'rmg' at http://www.madgelloland.org/irixx/madonna/. please update your browsers to point to this site.

huge thanks also to www.virtualnames.co.uk, who host iriXx.org for me and have been very generous in allowing me to go well in excess of my bandwidth limit. and whats more they're an excellent ISP... :)

... many thanks to www.anti-dmca.org for hosting the following files...

A.L.T is iriXx vs. mindlobster ...

a strange phenomenon i discovered was that when slowed down, madonna's voice appears to be a perfect male tenor... is something similiar going on here to John Oswald's discoveries that Dolly Parton could well be a female impersonator?... ;-)

this one's rather cute... an answer back to madonna, telling her what the fuck she should be doing!
apparently this anonymous message was emailed to Kevin Heller by a member of staff at Google...

.:. madonna.com 0wn3d .:.

shortly after the 'What the Fuck?' files hit KaZaA, it seems Madonna's website was 0wn3d by a group of hackers.

the index page of her website at www.madonna.com was replaced with a list of links to genuine mp3s from 'American Life', with the following words:

"This is what the f--k I think I'm doing...

Madonna - American Life

Madonna - American Life (Radio Remixes)

Madonna - American Life Including Nic Mercy Promo

Madonna - Bedtime Story

Madonna - American Life Remix

Morgan Webb will you marry me?

brought to you by the editors of phrack magazine, http://www.phrack-dont-give-a-shit-about-dmca.org/"

the link to phrack is not genuine, however, phrack seems to have a website at http://www.phrack.org. there is no mention on phrack's site about the 0wn3ership.

the site has now been restored, but a screenshot has been made available at http://www.curlio.com/new_showarticle.php?id=3899
