Of course, it's fucking dreadful.
For me, Brandon Soderberg generally only really excels at petulant, passive-aggressive subtweets and the worst kind of music-hack snobbery but, writing about the above-referenced dog's breakfast here, he does raise an interesting point or two about possible future directions in a world where nobody gives much of a fuck about the sanctity of intellectual property no mo', their own included.

and co-sign...very dreadful. On the same level as ironic white chick singer/songwriter rap covers.
:latte:
i wasnt mad at it, but it wasnt the coolest thing i have heard lately...
i disagree, i think it's just awful, and does not work at all on a musical level. i had to check my browsers to make sure something else wasn't playing at the same time. but i guess i am missing the point, really, because this bullshit is not about music at all but some ridiculous exercise in branding and marketing.
i completely agree with this at the same time though...WTF is page doing dabbling in this type of shit anyways? couldnt he be working on some "b-sides and bootlegs Zeppelin" type shit...
i think its cool that people like Page are messing with this type of shit, but to release it to the masses is a bit confusing, not knowing what his intentions are... **was this a "hey i started messing with this stuff for the first time and look what i did" or "i have been making remixes for a few years now, check this out" type of a thing...
Page & Tupac/Eazy E....next?
He is, actually. Maybe he wants to be in the news again to draw attention to it, 'Godfather of Big Drums' or some shit.

Didn't work out so well last time either...
do both their catalogs belong to the same label? This reeks of 50-year-old marketing dudes sitting in a room trying to get their "assets" and "properties" back out there. They probably love the late-90s corporate rap-rock vibe, takes them back to the days when LEN and Sugar Ray topped the charts.
Interestingly, both groups had some serious hip hop heads involved.
