[](http://www.bradsucks.net/albums/i%5Fdont%5Fknow%5Fremixed/?ref=chrismessina.me)[Brad Sucks](http://www.bradsucks.net/?ref=chrismessina.me), the one man band with no fans, released a [set of remixes](http://www.bradsucks.net/albums/i%5Fdont%5Fknow%5Fremixed/?ref=chrismessina.me) from people who apparently [downloaded his songs](http://www.bradsucks.net/albums/i%5Fdont%5Fknow/?ref=chrismessina.me) and thought they could do better. While I dig the guy's tunes, I *love* [his process](http://www.bradsucks.net/archives/2005/09/15/full-album-source-online/?ref=chrismessina.me). That he's also part of the [PEI collective](http://www.wikipei.com/?ref=chrismessina.me) is cool, but he's got cred all his own, given that I ran into him way back in 2003 when he made it onto [Steven Garrity's](http://actsofvolition.com/authors/steven?ref=chrismessina.me) [first ever](http://actsofvolition.com/archives/2003/november/actsofvolition?ref=chrismessina.me) [Acts of Volition podcast](http://actsofvolition.com/archives/actsofvolition/?ref=chrismessina.me). Oh, and it seems that the markup on his track listing could [definitely use a microformat](http://microformats.org/discuss/mail/microformats-discuss/2005-September/000888.html?ref=chrismessina.me). [Guys](http://microformats.org/?ref=chrismessina.me), you hear that?

you will love remixreading then too. http://www.remixreading.org. a lot of work is done behind the scenes, so expect a whole new release in the next few weeks. And yea, its all Drupal.
