"POTENTIAL NIGHTMARE MIX SHOW"

It's up! Slander Bob's big ol' RIAA mix show for Austin radio KAOS:

I did the mashups (some going back years), but Slander Bob did the mixing, and groovy mixing it is indeed, e.g. cutting back and forth from "Bowel movements" and "Hookers for Jesus," stuff like that. And he added drop-ins from kiddie records, ads, etc. Very cool.

Mucho grassy-ass, Bob!

RIAA Radio Special

Yee-haw! A Big ol' Texas-sized radio show is dedicating a special episode to RIAA. Slander Bob from KAOS 95.9 sez: "I do a whole block of programming Sundays called Slander Sundays... I played a small block of R.I.A.A. last week on my Turntablism / Mix show...I was going to do an Artist Showcase of R.I.A.A. mixes this Sunday...So here is the info...

Thanks Bob, can't wait!

THANKS-GIVING TO THE FOLLOWING...

...for recently playing our tunes:

Friendly Persuasion - Otis Fodder's been hosting this crucial excursion into the weird and wonderful on and off for 10 years now (in internet-land, that's ancient!)

DJ Shoe of KUNV's The Lyons Den radio show played "Santa's Acid Hawaiian Space Disco" on his "Christmas mix 2009" show.

Station Manager Ken on WFMU has been playing plenty off the new RIAA collection "Reality Is An Accident," and both he and the Bopst Show played some stuff off of 2008's dark 'n' creepy "Madnight" collection recently.

Speaking of "Reality..." the AudioPornCentral music news blog mentioned it, calling us their "fave mad music genius" (Gosh!)

KGNU's "Afternoon Sound Alternative" WTJU's "Radio Wowsville," and le Mamie Van Doren Show from Toulouse, France also gave spins to tracks off the new collection.

.

"Some Assembly Required" and DJ Useo's podcasts have been playing us consistently for so long now, I feel that they should get another mention - just for being them.

Listen to all these shows! Buy whatever they're selling! Have their babies! Cuz they all rock 'n' rule, and I appreciate the spins.

Adrian sings 'Crimson & Chanukkah'

Adrian from the world's premier mashup club Bootie (Mr Fab has spun at the LA branch on occasion) also sings in the live mashup band Smashup Derby. We had only just posted this Adam Sandler vs Tommy James mashup, and in days Adrian learned it and sang it live at Bootie SanFran and, as you can hear, did a great job:

Adrian: "Crimson and Chanukah"

Yep, that's a karaoke backing track. They didn't have time for the band to learn it, but he assures me they will next year. Looking forward to it already!

Mr Fab & His Bag O' Toys

10-count-'em-TEN! Christmas (and one Hannukah) mashups, cut-ups and remixes, from 2004-2008. Listen to the whole thing streaming and/or download individual tracks here.

Or get 'em all in this zip file.

Includes such festive carols as: "Little Saint Grinch," "G-L-O-RIAA," "The Chipmunk Song (remix)," "The Six Million Dollar Man & Santa Claus Fight Global Warming," and "Santa's Acid Hawaiian Space-Disco." Also! The previously-unreleased "Slay Ride," "Crimson and Chanukah," and "Black X-Mas."

RIAA Sells Out

Started a new Fairtilizer playlist for streaming listening/downloading of RIAA mashups using songs that people have actually heard of. No weird thrift-store records! Well, not that many at least! Pop! Trendy!

http://fairtilizer.com/playlists/23259

Only three tunes up so far:

"Come As The Eighties" - Nirvana vs the song they ripped off by Killing Joke; one of our more popular numbers, especially after the Bootie crew posted it on their sites as one of their fave songs of the month; sightings of this track include: a "dodgy" video (not crediting us); "Ashes To 80s", a much better video, using footage from the show "Ashes To Ashes;" and a merci to Totom for some radio play in France.

"Shut Up And Take The Night" - Chelley (a big hit on LA hip-hop radio this past summer) vs The Ting Tings; by RIAA (Rosemary’s Inspiration: Aerobic Activity), so named because Mrs Fab heard the Chelley tune in her workout class and came up with the idea for this combo her own self.

"I Found That Jesus Rare" - speaking of Bootie, this previously unreleased one features Adrian from Bootie (and Smashup Derby, his live mashup band) singing Depeche Mode over Gang of Four.
