VIDEO: "It's Whiskey"

Too late for St. Patrick's Day, but nonetheless, another fan-made video has been added to the Video page: "It's Whiskey": "From the mashup album "Straight Outta Ireland," this track combines Run-DMC's "It's Tricky" with the classic Irish tune "Whisky in the Jar." It was created by RIAA for entertainment purposes only. All audio components are copyrighted by their respective owners. This video also contains snippets of footage from news reports, music videos and various user-uploaded videos of St. Patrick's Day parades up to and including the year 2010."

MR FAB "DUB & DUBBER"

"Dub & Dubber" is now back up - probably the best of my '90s/recorded-on-8-track-cassette primitive years. It's mostly live synths played over instrumentals taken from hip-hop 12" singles with, as you may have guessed by the title, a strong reggae influence.

When I transferred the tapes to mp3 and posted them on-line back in '04, one of the first great music blogs 'Spoilt Victorian Child' raved about it, calling it "genius." A lot of stuff on this album still sounds pretty darn cool to my ears. And some doesn't. Ah, well. Let me know what you think...

"POTENTIAL NIGHTMARE MIX SHOW"

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

http://www.archive.org/details/Mr.FabAndR.i.a.a.MixedBySlanderBob

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!
