U2 vs. Negativland iPod is Back

A couple months ago, Francis Hwang turned a U2 ‘special edition’ iPod into the U2 vs. Negtivland iPod, which commemorates a seminal sampling battle that ensued when Negitvland sampled U2 and outakes of Kasey Kasem to make a single that they called “U2”. Francis posted his brilliantly modified iPod to ebay and announced it as a fundraiser for Downhill Battle. Some typical corporate bullshit ensued and the iPod was yanked from eBay before the auction finished. Now it’s back up for auction on Francis’ website– so take that, auction-house monopoly! Bidding ends next week.
