Behold there I was recording a TV/Radio inspired podcast called ‘Switching Channels’ when my signal to the Radio Clash Pirate Satellite(tm) was jammed by my evil nemesis, Juxtaposeur – suddenly my signal was infected with the Bristolian tones of his Skip to the End podcast! Oh noes! *dramatic muzak*

Then I had a brainflush – I reversed the flow of the tachyon flux capacitor and sent my signal to HIS podcast – that’ll teach him! So that means you might have to listen to parts of Radio Clash on Skip to the End here (includes an exclusive never-before released Daft Punk/Spearhead mashup! EXCLOOOSIVE!) but at least it means his evil plans were partly foiled.

Also means it’s the WORLD’S FIRST* live cross-linked podcast thingummy, or something. Thanks to Pete Juxtaposeur for the idea and the swappage, was fun…;-)

Also includes – in various parts spread over the podblogosphereiverse like some Tron lightcycle splat – Emergency Broadcast Network, Ministry, another new mashup by DJNoNo, Culturcide, sick Disco, great drum & bass and some great topical and robotic tunes.

Why? I can’t tell you unless I kill you first It’s all ready to go but…well you’ll see

In other news I know there’s been a massive slow down and problems with the host and the blog – been working with them and these should have been fixed…the whole ’speed up Wordpress’ thing is an arcane art; and I’m up to my ears in caching plugins and DB managers atm. And it was a particular Twitter plugin which was causing some posts to not even appear…this plugin has been sent to the naughty step.

Edit: does anyone know of a good CPU detection plugin for Wordpress? It seems there is one but doesn’t work with newer Wordpress…it is one of those things that would be made a LOT easier with a plugin!

One Hundred and EEEiiiightyyyyy!!!!

Last of the Beatles Podcasts, a bumper edition concentrating on the end of the Beatles, their various followups in mashup and cover form, and John Lennon’s death.

I live near Abbey Road so I just popped out and took these pictures – the ones of the tourists recreating the famous picture (and blocking the traffic in the process) are priceless – including the one below!

Here’s the second of the Parkade Flashback series – it’s a short, angry and rather rude mix from 2007 (you might have guessed from the title) and utterly exclusive. How do I know that? Well I recorded it when no-one was in the room at the Parkade, hence the ‘Empty’ bit – one of the down sides of DJing in Second Life and generally is when no-one turns up – I assure you this rarely ever happened, I always had at least a small attendance for my gigs in SL, but it does happen every once in a while.

So I vented my frustration via the medium of music

Sorting out some minidiscs I found some of the mixes I recorded years ago at the Parkade…now the Parkade is gone it’s high time to release them as a reminder what was so great about it

Here’s the first Parkade Flashback – a nearly 2 hour dark dubby laid back ambient mix.

This mix was for Traffic Jambient when me and Amanda Shinji rotated Sunday sets – I’m guessing it’s 2007, could be 2008 but I’m guessing probably didn’t release it then cos of the similarity with bits of RC 136 ‘All A World’s A Siege’ which was in the middle of my Psychic TV and dubstep mania…so that would make it around October-November 2007.

Hope you enjoy – bits of it I queried were even mine, I’d forgotten the tracks and the mix so completely, so please mind the cobwebs, and the gaps in my memory in the tracklist below. Let me know if you can refresh my memory on any of these…
