Shock the Bug

So, Peter Gabriel has been running a contest. He provided all the tracks from the original recording of "Shock the Monkey" as separate MP3 files for anyone to remix. The best ones will win prizes. I basically stand no chance against all the much more experienced people who did crazy and inspired things, but it was fun to try. My attempt is here:

I really liked that. Pretty cool.

Thanks! I like it pretty well too... I just think it needed a few weeks of work, instead of the few days I actually put into it.

By the way, congrats on your new job! I was going to try to talk you into working for... uh, the company that I'm sort of hoping to work for... but it turns out that their hiring procedure has several layers of bureaucracy to get through, and I won't know until at least tomorrow afternoon whether they want to hire me or not. But at least I know where the process stands, because they have a guy whose job is to shepherd applicants through the process. The other company I'm talking to has no such person, so they tend to forget about me for weeks at a time.
