...ambush marketing," is trying instead to reinvent soccer. Scorpion Knockout is the futuristic, pared-down game played by 24 stars like Thierry Henry, Luis Figo and Fredrik Ljungberg in an expensive - reportedly $14.5 million - three-minute commercial that has been airing since April. In the ad, to a thumping remix of Elvis Presley's A Little Less Conversation (A Little More Action), soccer's leading mercenaries compete in a secret tournament under special rules. In it, soccer becomes a game of trick shots, small goals and fancy footwork - oddly like basketball (which, despite Nike's $155 million spend this year...
Among people who enjoy rap and classic literature it's de rigueur to compare P. Diddy to Jay Gatsby. Both are shadily operating New Yorkers short on charisma and long on cash and shallow dreams. Both also know how to throw a party, and We Invented the Remix is one extravagant hip-hop do. The guest list is perfectly balanced--Ghostface Killah and Black Rob growl for hard-core fans; Mary J.

Over the past five years, Deep Dish have remixed the world’s hottest artists?...
...Gimme” and “High Post Brotha,” which benefit from an incisive cameo by Common, both showcase a talent for toying with the nuances of electronic music that was only hinted at on the previous album (though the dance remix of “He Loves Me” seems pretty pointless). “Gimme” features Scott wailing the title like a demented but funky child, to great effect, while her backing singers echo the demand. And not one of these songs, with the notable exception of the 11-minute...
