Harumph.

Gimme a single mic and a 5, mando, dobro, git, rhythm git, doghouse and fidde coupled with 4 part harmonies.

The rest is . . . pop. Shit.

Real music is played by real people.

Not machines and editor’s.

Damn this crap pisses me off, too . . .

Pure crap. Not art.

Gimme art with humans.

Life is SO bad, our art has to be baseless sounds WITHOUT HUMANS making it?

Pure denial, hiding, avoidance, and fear.

And I won’t suscribe to the fear, dammit . . . we need to fight it, and be there to DUEL it.

WE need Not to hide behind mashin, fusions, and the denial of our de-huminization of our lives that ‘ART’ SELLS OUT for profit, that crap of commercial capitlaism profit that professes to be passing for art.

I call bullshit. I call avoidance.

I call, caved into the man, in the pseudo personage of all things we USED to know as ART!!!!

Harumph.

Gimme humans makin art and music and stage and theatre.

Gimme my planet back dammit.

The techno know how does NOT pure art create . . .

A Night at the Hip-Hopera is really fun, as is From Detroit to JA.

For some more good mashup tracks, and good bootleggers, check out our monthly Bootie Top 10. We select 10 of our favorite mashups from producers from around the world every month, and host them for free download on our Bootie websites – Get them here:
http://www.bootiela.com/#Top10
They get updated around the 15th, so these will be changed to the new Top 10 tomorrow, so DL these today – whoever is interested…

Also, to whore ourlselves out, we do a lot of alternative flavor mashups, get all our tracks here: http://www.aplusd.net
Our Elastica vs The Gossip is our newest “hit”.

We just called it mixing, becuase that’s what it is. My friends and I used to do sets that were essentially hour long mash ups, live on turntables (I sound like a grumpy old man, “in my day….”).

My favorite set was when my dj partner and I set up 4 turntables and never had less than 2 songs going for about 90 minutes (it was based mostly on the beat from “Looking from a Hilltop” by Section 25), took over a month to arrange, and included songs from the 60s, 70s and 80s (this was in 88 IIRC).

Sadly, with no digital recording at the time (at least nothing affordable), we could only record on cassettes, which are long gone, but I still have the 1s and 2s, I’ll have to hook up the computer, send you something.

Led Zeppelin’s management demanded that all copies of the record be withdrawn and destroyed…instantly making it an underground hit.

Yep! It’s absurd…but it takes one overly serious absurd song and mixes it with a comedy show about a tragedy (What was it about ’60’s TV that could have shows like Hogan’s Heros?)

i think, since music is basically mathematics that we hear, the predictable path is to put themes, bass lines, rhythms, keys, chords, choruses and verses on top of each other (bridges, not so easily inserted into this equation) to see which ones come out equalling one (successful mashups) and which ones come out with a remainder (unsuccessful mashups).

skippy hearts mashups…here’s the rapture riders blondie v. doors.

but if you like beatles mashups, and hey, who doesn’t, check out come closer together, which puts come together inside of nine inch nails closer, and it works amazingly well, because, imho, the tone and feeling of the nin piece is what the beatles were striving for, only times about 20, it being about 20 years later that one followed the other.

but for the ultimate in mashups, i heart dj earworm, whose page can be found here.

my fav mashup earworm did is nobody takes your freedom, which links scissor sisters (take your mama out tonite), beatles (for no one), aretha franklin (think), george michael (freedom) seamlessly together.

but if you want to od on mashups, try dj earworm’s stairway to bootleg heaven which puts together the dolly parton version of stairway to heaven with eurythmics (this city never sleeps), the beatles (because), pat benetar (love is a battlefield) with some beastie boys, art of noise and laurie anderson thrown in.

both available on dj earworm’s site.

and, if you’re a pdq bach fan, you’ll recognize that peter schickele’s unbegun symphony is nothing but a huge mashup of classical music themes.

I stalled a long time on getting DSL. But, I have to do a lot of internet research, and send out big documents- and the frustration and time wasted using dial-up finally got to me. I only have the lowest speed DSL- I am in an historic district, so no transmission stations are in the area. I cannot get higher speed DSL. But, it’s been worth every penny- I just cut back on some other spending.
