T. Monk - Brilliant Corners (but of course)
His name is Sphere, of course he likes Monk! And when he gets older you can tell him you named him after "Highway 61 Revisited."
Here's the free mashup CD we got when we went to Bootie
Mark Vidler, a.k.a. Go Home Productions was there last fall. He was interviewed by Brian Lehrer recently. The GHP website has a bunch of free mp3s. I especially like "Making Plans For Vinyl (Tweet vs XTC)" and "Girl Wants (To Say Goodbye To) Rock And Roll" (Christina Aguilera / Velvet Underground / The Communards). (The altered Loaded cover suggests a rude joke, namely "What's that smell?" You'll have to look to see what's wafting up from the subway.) I suspect Hayden will be interested in the Beach Boys / Wings mashup "I Just Wasn't Made For The Backseat Of My Car". Fun stuff.
Hec's on right now. Audio link is near the bottom of the page.
More mashups.
20 Questions with Mark Vidler. This page has links to 20 Questions with other deejays, including Miss Frenchie, whose website points to this place for her mp3s. Worth the trip for "Pop Generation" (The Who vs. "Pop Muzik") and the delightfully titled "Fuck 'em Boyo" (Peaches meets The Clash.) The latter is her contribution to London Booted, London Calling mashed up with lots of stuff.
ETA: In case it's not obvious from the title, you may not want to play "Fuck 'em Boyo" at the office or around the kiddies.
Ooh yay, posts with mashups! I love those things. My current faves are the one that takes Jet's "Are You Gonna Be My Girl" and Christina Aguilera's "Dirrty"; and the one that slaps "Bootylicious" with "Superstition." Cool stuff.
My all time favorite, however, is the "official" mashup by the Sugababes, which puts the melody from Adina Howard's "Freak Like Me" with Gary Numan's "Are Friends Electric." I think it's just called "Freak Like Me."
In old news, I too was able to put the new U2 disc on my iPod. Guess I'll just have to live without the latest Diana Krall and that Mindy Smith CD on my pod.
Maybe. I'm going to try some hacking experimenting on the Krall CD this weekend. I'll let you know what I find.
I just purchased my first full album off iTunes. hee. Still iPod less, but I may remedy that with the tax refund.
I got one for Bob's birthday, since he put up with me being out of town and working crazy hours for weeks on end and he deserved some of the spoils. But I couldn't have him have one and not have one of my own...
I'm waiting for them to arrive. !!!excited!!!
But I couldn't have him have one and not have one of my own...
I know! I got one for FAQ Girl at Xmas, and I have been jealous ever since!
