failure leads to ... a new blog for media-mashers

I have made a few attempts to promote media-mashing to a more mainstream
audience. The San Francisco Mediatrip Competition was a bust. It
received some interest and plenty of kind words but it was a bust
nonetheless.

I love the media-mashing "genre" and, as a FAIR USE activist, it's my
personal mission to promote it as much as possible. The final "product"
does not always impress but the act of mashing always impresses me.

Personally, I felt empowered the first time I ripped and remixed
something from television.

I understand that reading and writing is "fundamental" … but in a
culture absolutely dominated by multimedia communication, are you really
literate if you cannot express yourself the same way? Are you part of
the conversation? Is your voice reaching anyone?

My new blog is called "Media trips" and it promotes artists and
producers who sample (remix) popcultre. Here is the url:

Finally, if you would like me to promote your favorite media-masher then
email me. My blog may be new but mediatrips.com has been around awhile
and gets decent traffic. Hope to hear from you.
