cat empire will be signing shit at the bourke st JB Hi Fi tomorrow.

i realised just now i didnt get the time.

But Eden you should go and give them a signed copy of the remix.

bahhahahaha..

[quick]

What you should do Eden is do up a contract with permission given by cat empire to remix their shit, put some carbon paper over it, and then a pic of them on it, and ask them to sign it...

....or sit out the front with a small table offering to sign your own remix cd !

Shit man , if someone does thier own version of my stuff without contacting me I personally feel like killin em, the difference with music seems to be " well everybody else does it" . as an artiist that just sucks , no matter how shit the song is and how great you think you make it its still not your idea. Getting press should never be the driver making something better shouldnt be either makin something new well thats different. To all the remixers /copiers you werent around when the tune /piece was born at least ask if your gunna fiddle with it

[Cubist]

I did.

[Zero Hour]

Atleast Cubist was a bit more creative with the Cat Empire than Sub-focus was with Nirvana.

[tripongale]

if you ask and its fine then wheres the worry? Id always prefer nirvana than some lame ass reggae ish crap anyway

[Zero Hour]

Eden...I'll give u sum Pixies to sample...

"This RMX has gone to heaven...."

Frank Black will neva know.....

Is this refering to my remix?

[deviant]

Cubist was told the group "does not support any electronic music".

I studied music with these guys at uni and have played many gigs with them (outside of Cat Empire + 1 as CE). I think you'll find that this was most definately a statement from their management. I know for a fact that these guys have many DnB and numerous other electronic music genre albums at home. I find it dissapointing when management speaks on a band's behalf, I'd hate someone to speak so ridiculously on my behalf. I mean they could've said something like - "The CE don't not endorse unauthorised remixing" or something like that. To say that they "do not support ANY electronic music" is completely contraindicative.
