Coming across this stellar mashup of the LCD Soundsystem’s “New York, I Love You but You’re Bringing Me Down” and Miles Davis’ Elevator to the Gallows score made me think of Gardner Cambell’s question from a month ago:
What is the real meaning and appropriate function of the Internet itself?
Gawker introduced the video by saying, “The Entire Internet has been a prelude to This Mashup of LCD Soundsystem and Miles Davis,” answering the question and quoting its author who says it contains, “No editing or other tricks, just 2 youtube videos played at the same time.”
Maybe everything really is a remix.
Brilliant timing, as ds106 moves into remix this week. I’m gonna make this an assignment. I like the way YouTube Doubler works, but I also like the low tech approach in that screen cast, especially for using 2 browsers as the playback, and the fades with the volume control.
Now it is part of ds106! http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/youtube-duet/
