Rocked By Rape

Some free music that I've really be enjoying as of late is the Evolution Control Committee's song Rocked By Rape (you can download it here).  It's 4:30 minutes of clips from Dan Rather newscasts, overlaid on a remixed version of Back in Black by AC/DC.  The clips are various sound bytes from Rather professing doom in the world, cuts like:

  • Inflation
  • Flaming debris
  • Prison disastor
  • Dangerous radiation
  • Starving victims, how they die
  • Police conspiracy
  • Dying of a heart attack
  • Dying of a Japanese nuclear bomb
  • A mountain of cocaine, tons of cocaine
  • Hooked on drugs
  • Government shutdown
  • Criminal
  • Semi-automatic handgun
  • Ethnic war
  • Hungry, homeless, frustrated, terrorists

And so on.  It's really put together well and makes for easy listening (IMO) because of Dan Rather's melodic voice.  Also, the remix of the AC/DC song is done well and the beats of the remix and Dan's melodic voice match up well.

Nothing like coding to this song on auto-repeat.  Well, this and Gunther's Ding Dong Song.
