Last week on The Colbert Report, Steven interviewed Lawrence Lessig, the author of a book called Remix. It is basically about merging art, commerce, and collaboration. He used the example of file sharing and mash-up songs as his main example, claiming that anyone should be allowed to take someones art and 'remix it'...create more value out of it. Not the easiest argument to make, to some it sounds like justifying theft, but it hits to the core of music today. One great example of Lessig's argument is the Fabriclive series produced by the London club Fabric. Two of three times a year the blub/label releases a DJ set as an album, and a lot of them are really good.

Here is a track off Fabriclive.33, Spank Rock's set. Enjoy...and whatever you do DO NOT PAY FOR THESE. Just ask Lawrence Lessig.
