plunderphonics fans might know stephen mcquillen for his work done under the name "the piss". he does some really interesting hyperedited sound collage, sort of like wayne butane if wayne got really political. but he's started shying away from using that name, as it can get him into trouble for obvious reasons.

he has done a great new collage piece about the hurricane katrina aftermath titled "criminal incompetence". he doesn't have much of a web presence and was distributing the mp3s via yousendit.com, so i offered to host the mp3s for him, as i think the piece deserves better than a yousendit link that will expire in 7 days.

so here they are. there are two versions: a high-quality 192kbps version and a smaller 96kbps version for dial-up users. please distribute widely:

Stephen_McQuillen_-_Criminal_Incompetence_192k.mp3
Stephen_McQuillen_-_Criminal_Incompetence_96k.mp3

(the files are actually hosted on badtaste4life.com, as after repeated tries i was unable to upload them to this site using blogger.)

also, when i asked steve for permission to host the mp3s here, he suggested another track you might also enjoy:

also, Phineas did a good one with Ray Nagen's AM radio plea for Federal action and Harry Connick, Jr.'s cover of "Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans":

-"pissy" Stephen McQuillen ¶

nice!

particularly the Kanye part. sweet-ass, man. ¶

yes, the kanye part is nice... i originally thought it was an edit (a flawless edit) but it appears to have been taken by this "cover"/mashup by the legendary KO. (as mentioned on metafiler) ¶
