The digital divide is creeping up from behind and more and more mashup artists are bearing their copyright infringing heads. Aside from Girl Talk and Car Stereo (Wars) a few others are on the horizon these days including Portland’s Easter Egg and now Ethan Ward aka E-603. E-603’s second record Torn Up has been rocking my iTunes lately with his leapfrogging from Tiffany to Pimp C and then Taco into Pitbull. If you keep up with the Hypemachines you might already know about young Ethan because apparently within 24 hours of the album hitting the internet he had the top 3 most downloaded tracks. Crazy.  Hey E-603, nice Cosby sweater.  No, really.

Peep these tracks:

MP3: E-603- Lights Out

MP3: E-603- Dirtbag Baby

If you like em grab the whole album for free from his myspace page above… Hey look! He tweets too !

I would also like to take this opportunity to remind you that Gamer has the greasy fingerprints of the same brilliant minds that brought you Crank and Crank 2:High Voltage. I think you know what this means. Go see Michael C Hall sing in a southern accent and watch Ludacris hack into the mainframe before this masterpiece leaves theaters. Because, next thing you know it will be Oscar season and you’ll be like: “Oh man- can’t believe I missed the remake of Deathrace without the cars! Why didn’t I see it when I had a chance and now it’s winning everything!” Just trying to look out for you over here… If you love awesomely bad movies, this is for you.
