^ I'd agree that there's something innovative (or once was something innovative) about the 'post-modern' mash-up. It's irreverent in the best way, ensuring that only the best of each borrowed-medium is used as an ingredient. But it's also too often used as process because it's so easy to participate. There's still something about the process that makes me feel that we're being short-changed. I don't want societies' output to constantly dumb-down and pander to my short attention span.
I remember reading a review of 2manyDJ's when it first came out which likened the album to a McDonald's milkshake -> lovely at first but makes you feel a bit sick if you try to finish it. I feel the same way about Mr Fairey's work.
