Booted - A tribute to the Clash. In the vein of the Grey Album,
here is an album of mash-ups in tribute to
London Calling.
Especially good is the
mix of The Clash's
Spanish Bombs and Outkast's
Bombs over Baghdad.
After reading the background (and hopefully donating to one of the
worthwhile sponsors), get your
download on.

this BoingBoing post about the bootleg Clash remix project
"London Booted," Will says:
We featured a preview of London Booted in issue-zero of our bootleg
newsletter, which you can find here if you're interested (it's down the bottom in the "Coming
Soon" section). We're also planning a follow up for issue-two (out
29th April) where we'll be talking to the remixers involved and also
they guy who organised the project (only subscribers to the mailing
list will get this issue).

04/20/2004 08:46 PMFormer BoingBoing guestblogger Todd Lappin says,
"Hot on the heels of the Grey Album
comes another innnnteresting mash-up/bootleg project that was
originally posted as a collaborative challenge to DJs in February.
The goal: Take one track from the Clash's "London Calling," and "remix
it, add to it, subtract from it
- put your own tributary spin on it." The result is "London Booted" -
19 tracks (plus a few bonus extras) of eclectically reinterpreted
Clash. In return for the download, the project organizers are asking
listeners to donate to one of several charities, including Future
Forests, a reforestation initiative that was a favorite of Joe
Strummer. For £17.50 you can even have your own tree in Joe
Strummer's Rebel Woods, a future forests project on the Isle of
Lucy... er... Skye."
I'm fond of "Bubba's Got a Brand New Cadillac," "What about Brixton,"
and "(Spanish Bombs) over Baghdad," a mashup with a track from
Outkast's
Stankonia. Hmmmm.... Outklash?

04/04/2005 06:24 AMCory Doctorow:
The Open Knowledge Forums are a series of lectures and panel
discussions about the ways that "open knowledge" can benefit the
public interest. The next one is a week away, in London, and it's
about a plan to produce a set of public domain maps of London
(London's maps were produced at tax-payer expense, but can't be freely
used; rather, you have to pay the ordinance survey thousands of pounds
for the privilege; by contrast, US government maps are free and
plentiful, and form the basis for thousands and thousand of competing
mapping efforts, from Michelin guides to Google Maps).
There are a number of interesting proposals for this, including
deploying an army of GPS-wielding geohackers, and buying up Russian
satellite photos of London. Check out this squib from last January's NTK:
London's geowanking
fraternity have come up with an intriguing proposition. With a
grand's worth of Russian 1-meter resolution satellite pics,
they believe they can stitch together an entirely free,
redistributable vector database of the capital, freed from
the shackles of the Ordnance Survey's restrictive copyrights,
and thus open to all manner of GPL-style repurposing.
Here are the details:
* When: Thurs April 14th 2005, 7-9pm
* Where: Stanhope Centre, Marble Arch, London. [WWW]Directions
* Who can attend: public. Registration is optional but useful so
please notify us if you can via okforums-info@okfn.org.
* Speakers: Steve Coast of openstreetmap.org; Roger Longhorn (geodata
policy expert); Giles Lane of urbantapestries.net; Jo Walsh of

Low-carbers booted out of buffet for
meat-centric consumption
04/24/2004 06:43 PMA couple who were on a low-carb diet were ejected from a Utah
all-you-can-eat buffet restaurant for eating too much meat.
"We've never claimed to be an all-you-can-eat establishment," said
Johanson. "Our understanding is a buffet is just a style of eating."
The general manager was carving the meat, and became concerned about
having enough for other patrons, Johanson said. So when Amaama went up
for his 12th slice, the manager asked Amaama to stop.
