Under the guise of People Like Us, British sound collagist and DJ Vicki Bennett blends samples from music, radio and television in a Cut Up style to form “plagiarhythmic” new melodies. A frequent theme of her music is the extraction of familiar snippets of popular music, which are subsequently interrupted or morphed just when the listener has begun to feel comfortable with what they’re hearing. This style has been dubbed “irritainment”.

People Like Us has collaborated with musical peers Wobbly and Negativland.

Most of the People Like Us material is available under a creative commons license from http://www.peoplelikeus.org. Also do check the archives of Do Or DIY program on freeform radio WFMU.

“There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.” Douglas Adams
