Finally have this on MutantPopTV – for the moment because of Vimeo’s current oddness and slowly uploading to other places this is the only place you can see it in full as one file. Crazy but true.

If you encounter jerkiness then it might be best to let it load for a bit and buffer…it’s not a small file and my server’s hamsters sometimes get tired. Also running stuff or downloading in the background can slow down Flash video, as it tends to be more CPU intensive that other sorts of video – there don’t let anyone tell you I’m not informative…

Remember you can share it by the little menu in the corner, but keep a mind for my poor bandwidth will you? I hope to have a full length video on Vimeo or Viddler or something soon, but who knows?

As I mentioned before on the blog I went to Ethiopia and South Africa for 2 weeks, and to honour that occasion and of the 5 years of Radio Clash I resurrected the travel podcasts – with a twist. I shot video on my iPod and camera so there is a complete video podcast of 1 1/2 hours and also here is the full 2 hour music podcast it’s based from.

RC 183: Take Me Back To Africa – video podcast Part 1! from Tim Baker on Vimeo.

Part two:

RC 183: Take Me Back to Africa Part 2 from Tim Baker on Vimeo.

Includes music (and video) from all over Africa – from Ethiopia, South Africa, Nigeria, Malawi, Angola and Kenya, and the first ever solo remix from me, as Fingertrouble – that video will also go live separately, and the track will be available for download.

I mentioned on Twitter that I was planning a follow-up to these shows, and without even mentioning that the idea was around the theme of first, dorkland aka Walton (Viera?) in Second Life suggested I do a show on the first mashups that got people hooked on them. I did so on Twitter, Get Your Bootleg On forum and this blog and had an amazing response…so amazing that the show has had to be edited down and some of the responses dropped – but I still have 27 amazing tracks which are all classics and part of bootleg/mashup history (and a few were surprises even for me).

Still ended up over 2 hours though! Very much worth it, because it is a 2 hour 20 long mix of some of the most influential and classic bootlegs of all time.

As I said this is part 1 of a series, the next one as it always happens was playlisted first and already included a few mashups and cutups that were mentioned for this show, so those tracks and shouts will be in the next part.

Thanks to all who responded what their first mashup they heard (or wanted to hear) was!

But you know that we’ve changed so much since then, oh yeah (2 hours 20, 110Mb)

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.
