RiP! A Remix Manifesto - Brett Gaylor



This "Trace That Tune!" portion of the film argues the first point (of four) advanced by the A Remix Manifesto, a progressive counterpart the more conservative view expressed in A Writer's Manifesto (Mark Helprin). The first point states:

1. Culture always builds on the past.

Though the film's legal discussions aren't necessarily accurate, RiP!'s social commentary is insightful and well supported (even if it leans a little too left sometimes). Check it out on Hulu.

I use this video to introduce a project of mine. I'm going to do my damndest to collect as many instances of this "Trace That Tune!" as possible. So if you have any instances to offer, please please PLEASE post them up here. Let's see how many are out there, and where they pop up the most.
