The second fabulous UK content remixing announcement of the day: Penguin Remixed is a collection of “thirty of the best spoken word samples from some of the greatest books of all time and the finest actors around” for you to borrow, bend, and blend to your heart’s content. Samples run the gamut from Nick Hornby’s “How to be Good” to Dahl’s “Charlie & the Chocolate Factory,” Fitzgerald’s “The Great Gatsby” to Hans Andersen’s “The Ugly Duckling.”
You’ve most likely not heard anything like “No Man Knows,” Richard E. Grant’s rendition of “Dracula” set to a tech piano score by “DK.”
