<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">DJ Useo asked me to contribute to his latest collection of comedy/novelty mashups, and how could I resist when he looks at me with those big, puppy-dog eyes? So I dusted off a track I started years ago, and finally finished it. It takes the Red Hot Chili Peppers "Under The Bridge" instro, and mixes in numerous toy instrument sound effects, and a reading of the old chidren's story "The Three Billy Goats Gruff." </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">It's a two disk set. Useo sez:<em> "Have fun listening, and also trying to guess who the dj's using these
obviously fake names truly are...We'll let you know in about a week
the actual dj names, which you'll easily recognize as some of the
best on the scene."</em> I'm "SoulWacker" doing "Under The Toy Bridge."</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">“Guess I’m Falling Into Bubbles” was a RIAA mashup I made a few years ago that has beeen one of my more unexpected "hits." Who'd have thunk that mixing a U.S. Army Airborne marching cadence version of Don Ho’s Hawaiian lounge classic “Tiny Bubbles” with an instrumental version of The Velvet Underground’s “Guess I’m Falling in Love” + sound fx would prove to be so popular (at least in the rareified world of internet mashups)? It has popped up again, this time on Richard Metzger's <span style="color: red;">"</span><a href="http://dangerousminds.net/comments/tiny_bubbles_vs._the_velvet_underground"><span style="color: red;">Dangerous Minds</span></a>" blog, accompanied by a groovy psychedelic video by Marc Campbell. Thank you Mr Campbell, you did a great job on this one, love it. But with gyrating '60s go-go dancers abounding, what's not to love?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">The song can be downloaded <a href="http://musicformaniacs.blogspot.com/2008/02/michmash-mish-mashes.html">HERE</a>.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Oh, and I'm pretty psyched to find out that Campbell was the guy in the New Wave band The Nails.

<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Vicki asked me if I would like to be one of the many who contributed mixes to this mammoth project, e.g.:</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> Carl Stone, Chris & Cosey, Tim Maloney, Ergo Phizmiz, Matmos, Dave
Soldier, Don
Joyce of Negativland, David Toop, Jared
Blum and GiganteSound, Felix Kubin, The Long Now Foundation (w/Brian Eno), DJ/rupture, and Lloyd Dunn of the Tape-Beatles. Alas, I had to turn her down (I'm still retired until I get my new studio set up), but she graciously included a few RIAA faves in her mixes. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Needless to say, it's a stupendous project, chock full of fantastic audio goodness. You'll never say "There's nothing to listen to" again.</span><br />

Maybe 15 tracks or so.

It's in the latest issue of "<a style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);" href="http://donosdump.com/twilight/TWzine.html">Twilight World</a>," a good ol' fashioned 'zine (didn't know there were any 'zines still around in these bloggy times).<br /><br />It's a review of "<a style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);" href="http://mrfab-riaa.blogspot.com/2010/07/riaa-presents-usa-mix-album-in-10-parts.html">USA</a>," calling it "one big piece of audio cake! Needless to say, the details and the soundscape are deep, expected, unexpected and dramatic!...and there's too many highlights to even think about listing here...well, that part where Michael Jackson vamps along with an old KKK recruitment song tackled my attention with a bloody nose. This bold example shows Mr. R's bravery and scope here; taking a small peek at the underbelly while looking far and wide to pin-point the collective character of our fair over-grown country."<br /><br />There's more in the review, as well as other swell articles on John Waters' latest book, Harvey Pekar, forgotten Vegas, etc. Well worth your two bucks.

I pointed out that I thought everyone was equally covered - that's one of the great things about mashups, you can present two (or more) views simultaneously e.g.: someone's satirical Nixon speech cut-up mixed with a pro-Nixon song. But he thought even the use of right-wing sources betrayed a bias because the material used made the right look silly. You can't win, eh? (It's all really just sonic mulch to me...)<br /></span>Mr Fabhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15116623844291424658noreply@blogger.com3
