RC 238: The Witch Is Dead

Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead! Munchkins Uprise! And Party!

Recorded last week, somehow I think Thatcher’s funeral has just slipped off the agenda *sigh*. We’re still paying £8-10 Million for it though, and 60% or more people in the UK think that’s a waste of money…which in supposed austerity, it is. But strange how we seemed in a week to have devolved to the 1980′s – football hooliganism, division, and now bombings. What next, the mullet makes a comeback?

RC 236: Pope Idol

Frankie Goes To The Vatican, Habemus Papam (San) Francisco. Results of the Pope Idol contest is in and Pope Ivor The First or Pope Bunsen Honeydew I has the highest phone votes out of all ex-chemist Jesuits with a Dirty War under their belt. Welcome to the blog Papa Pancho*, I’m sure we’ll get acquainted over the years as the homophobia and mysogyny flows, so enjoy the honey(dew)moon of being a blank slate like the white robes you wear.

So I dedicate some music to the new Popey, play some It’s A Trap, some Kraftkovers, some Sea Punk, some chilled music and some very silly Stan Freberg.

As I say in the show you’d have heard this show nearly a week ago (some of the tracks a week before on the exclusive RCL Mix #1) on Radio Clash Live (9:30pm Wed, 4am Sat GMT/UTC) as well as the History of Mashups Show 8 which if you listen closely during the day tomorrow around 12:43pm GMT you might just hear a repeat of…

*that’s actually what they’re calling him in South America, Pancho being slang for Francis. That’s actually quite cute…

New video for Miss Cyberpink’s Strangeword

As people have been saying nice things about my videos (Lady Miss Kier! EBN’s Special Agent G! Squeee!) I thought i’d upload this video I made earlier this year for Kleptonite, the criminally underlooked Miss Cyberpink mashup ‘Strangeword’ which is Depeche Mode’s ‘Strangelove’ vs Cameo’s ‘Word Up’ – on paper an odd combination but works so well in reality.

Kind of a hard one to do, in recent videos like Push Groove I’ve gone back to traditional A vs B videos to experiment with having limited footage which made this hard to do, but it’s easy to add films and extra footage to make it work – much harder to try and work with what you’ve got. I think this works pretty well.

This would be up on YouTube but like the Push Groove which just got banned off YT (thanks UMG too! NOT.) WMG is playing hard ball with mashup videos on there still – just like my old Neon Neon / Depeche Mode / LaTour mashup isn’t on there for the same reason. Maybe it’s just Depeche Mode don’t like fan or mashup videos?

And as ever you can hear more like this (and in fact this tune, it’s been playlisted as well as Push Groove which is currently an exclusive so will appear in between shows) over at Radio Clash Live or here, in fact!
