Dance, Johnny, Dance

Here's some weird stuff I found on the 'net: On John Lydon’s Web site, he's posted some free, downloadable audio tracks. What's weird is it's not the sort of music I expected. Maybe I haven't kept up with the erstwhile Mr. Rotten's career, but I expected something a little more, maybe PiL, or some live stuff from the Pistols v2.0, or something. Instead, these are various dance mix things. He claims some of this was sampled without his permission, but he put them on his site just the same. What's intriguing to me about these tracks is hearing the same voice that once snarled, "I wanna be an anarchist," in a totally different context.

So give this stuff a listen. And check out Johnny's site. There are a couple of other similar tracks, some video clips, wallpapers, audio from Rotten Radio, and plenty of other interesting things.
