Page 440 Three Examples of Remixing Culure

It is very easy to see something these days that is a new creation that is based something in the past. It is very common to see this in the entertainment industry over the past decade. Just over the past few years, it has been a popular idea to make a movie based off of an old television show. Most of these shows have been based off of action shows during the 1970's for some strange reason. Some examples of these movies are The Dukes of Hazzard, Starsky and Hutch, Miami Vice, and also Get Smart. Most of these movies did not do well in the box office. Just recently the automobile industry has been "remixing" styles of older automobiles. Just this year Chevrolet has brought back the Camaro, and Dodge has brought back the Challenger. Both of these cars have not been produced in a while by their manufacturers. The new models are styled to look like how they were in the 1970's. Another form of remixing is mashups. Mashups are when someoun, usually a dj, combines two or more songs together to make a new song. An example of this is Dj Dangermouse's album, "The Grey Album." It combines songs from a Beetles album with songs from a Jay-Z album. Many things have been "remixed" as of lately. You can see that this doesn't always work for the better, in the case of the movies based off old t.v. shows.
