This falls into the category of things I've wanted to hear for a long 
time and never quite got around to.

I used to do a lot of illustration for Mondo 2000 and first heard of 
John Oswald & Plunderphonics from them. What I never heard was an actual 
description of what he was specifically doing (the process) or what the 
resulting music sounded like. I think the Mondoids were mostly 
enthralled by the idea of subverting commercial music.

Want to try and describe Oswald's 'White Christmas"? I'd enjoy hearing 
about it...
