DJ Food (Strictly Kev, London) finishes an updated version of his "Raiding the 20th Century."

To summarize (with commentary) from the DJ Food website: Raiding the 20th Century was originally released as a 40 minute (and valiant) attempt to catalog the history of cut-up music - including everything from tape manipulations and digital deconstructions to turntable creations and bastard pop mash-ups. It was a huge hit on the web and actually caused a full-scale server crash on boomselection.info when they hosted it, due to the volume of net traffic. Shortly after completion, Strictly Kev read Paul Morley's "Words and Music" and was intrigued to find certain chapters mirroring parts of his mix - so he decided to expand the idea to make the definitive document on cut-up music. After months of further research, he tracked Morley down and they recorded passages from "Words & Music" especially for the new mix. A year to the day of the original's online release, the newly expanded version was launched. Some Assembly Required was honored to have been included in this "definitive document on cut up music." If you listen closely towards the beginning of part three, you'll hear a good portion of the Some Assembly Required interview with Steve Stein of Steinski and Mass Media. Check it out. It's an excellent, and educational piece!

Some Assembly Required sponsors a film event at Outsiders and Others, in Minneapolis. The fundraiser was organized for Coleman Miller, who screened his highly anticipated experimental narrative short film, Uso Justo. Roughly translated as "Fair Use," Uso Justo is restructured completely from an obscure 1959 film. Craig Baldwin (San Francisco) was also on hand to screen a segment of his 1995 collage film, "Sonic Outlaws," in addition to several Other Cinema selections.

Some Assembly Required sponsors "A Room with Views," a visual collage showcase at Gallery T, in Northeast Minneapolis. A Room with Views featured visual collage work by John Diebel, Jennifer Davis and Scott Neff.

DJ Danger Mouse - "Dirt Off Your Shoulder"
DJ Danger Mouse - "Public Service Announcement"
Go home productions - "Ray of gob"
DJtripp - "Without Vader"
Lenlow - "Last Night"
RX Music - "Sunday Bloody Sunday"
RX Music - "Imagine/Walk on the wild side"
