Pogo's 'Pirates of the Caribbean' remix, 'Swashbuckle,' is being kept in the night for reasons the musician recently wrote about on his blog: "Folks, I yearn to publish my 'Pirates Of The Caribbean' mix on YouTube. I guess it's one of my best mixes yet, and it's agonizing to think it rotting away in some filing cabinet instead of winning its true spot in my body of work. All I've been told is that the producers at Jerry Bruckheimer Films want nothing to do with it. Whether that way they're displeased or they're just wait for the good time is unacceptable for me to say. The sad reality is, 'Swashbuckle' was contracted work. I'd literally get to beginning saving the money that Disney would sue me before making the conclusion to upload it. But who knows? It might only get to that. My medicine is my notice in this world. If I get to pay to see it entertain millions of people, then so be it." Last year he spoke out around a like situation concerning his track 'Bangarang,' which features samples from Spielberg's 'Hook.' when Sony forced him to rip the picture down. Fans protested and the artist was victorious, but clearly exasperated by the situation: "My work serves as free viral marketing to the organisations that own the films I sample from. It's high time the music industry pulls its head out of its ass, and realises that today's remix culture is an asset, not a liability . ." While Pogo may proceed to deal with movie giants, we'll try to relax for now and love some of our favorite tracks ('Toyz Noize' is dedicated to Weinberg! - including his latest, the 'Snow White' inspired, 'Wishery' - posted below.
