Thu, 19 April 2007  I flaked on the 2ManyDJ's show and all I got to show for it is this wide ranging and reeling falling over selection of Mashups, Bastard Pop, Bootlegs, and plunderphonical audio expositions. I now have a mike and nothing worthwhile to say, as evidenced in this weeks podcast. 1. Pirate Sound System - Selektah Ringtone What a good idea. Mashup ringtones. Not my ringtone, but I'm sure there is someone who really appreciates this. 2. 2ManyDj's - Radio Soulwax MontageA compressed mix with too many sources to cite. 2ManyDJs, the superstars of the modern mashup 3. DNA feat. Suzanne Vega - Tom's DinerYeah, it's been a while since I heard this one. Kind of tough to track down a copy. But thanks goes out to the never forgetful internet for making this possible. 4. Sherpa - Tecnologic PopA not bad piece with a solid usage of Daft Punk - not inspiring but sentimental. 5. Unknown - CaitlinEven though I lost the artist name who did this, which usually means disqualification I had to include it for the looped TMBG horn section. 6. Wisp - Turquoise Tinged PenniesNot a mashup but the near cousin turntablism and so gorgeous it had to be included. 7. Go Home Productions - Flaming Mary Can Out (Run) PrinceThe Run D.M.C. action on this track is thrilling. Go Home has some solid productions and currently have an hour show up that they did with the BBC. Well worth a look. 8. Dj Paul V - Peaches vs. Gary Glitter - Didn't Know The Lips Wanna Be HerAny excuse to play a Peaches track is good enough for me. 9. Jackson and his Computer Band - Teen Beat OceanNot a mashup but the near uncle IDM - while Jackson Computer may not be as brilliant as some other IDM artists. They've got a good way with sample extraction. 10. Dj BC - Einstein on the BeastDJ BC, of Beastles fame, here gets the sound from way out with help from Phillip Glass. 11. The Avalanches - I am a Cuckoo I am horribly enamored with the long time producing but rarely publishing Aussie band The Avalanches. And why because nearly two years ago I saw this video and fell in love: video 12. Jan Turkenburg and Chenard Walcker - 42 "De Sirenes"A nice piece of found sound from to productive plunderphonic disciples. While the 52 weeks project may not have made every track perfect, like this one is, the sonic journey is worth the while of the curious. 13. Hamburglars - Quality, Service, Cleanliness, and ValueAwesome plundering to be found on the high seas of corporate training videos. 14. Thin - Stoopid, Dreemer NightmareMike Curtis put out a couple internet release pieces before leaving the scene. Blue Face being an all around wonderful example of his ability. 15. Yuhzimi - Top of The PopsA small section from a rather awkward compilation of mashups. This snippet is golden. 16. Osymyso - Not Quite FoolOsymyso of anti-art school notoriety brings a nearly spartan vocal section to a rolling boil of British stiff upper lip-ishness. 17. Negativland - Gimme The MermaidThe grand daddys of the sampledeliaca world, this is the audio section of their recent anti-infringement mashup video. 18. kARSTEN pFLUM - Bflonk 03And a lovely little number to take us out on the podcast closer.
