And more of this re-release mania – back in May 2008 I appeared on Pete Juxtaposeur’s Skip to the End podcast as DJNoNo and created a 30minute mix specially.

Here’s the 320kbps separate version for your separate listening pleasure (although I heartily recommend listening to Skip to the End show I was on for chat and great music from Pete).

Also another mix I’m quite proud of is the Cuddle the Present mix I did for Jeb 50 Pound Note‘s podcast – that’s now back up after being unavailable for a few years and available here.

Also back up is the show I did with Jeb and Lee from I Motor Away and the first of the 3 shows Scott, Jeb and myself did. – the second is available here. Also the Xmas show I did with Scott and Jeb on Scott’s 30th birthday.

Oh and still one of the best podcasts I ever did – the Hijack Happy Birthday podcast me and Jeb did for Lee’s I Motor Away podcast is now up (it seems I Motor Away has podfaded and is not up anymore so I uploaded it for good on my server)

Phew! Did I really do all that?

EDIT: and now courtesy of Scott the 3rd podcast myself, Jeb and Scott did the Night Nurse Show ‘Podwhores’ – joined by Stefan is now up on my server. It is very very rude though in true Night Nurse Show tradition, be warned

44 years later…Eduard Hil (Khil)? is interviewed about being an internet star and shown the fan videos:

He’s right, it’s not parody, not ironic, not nasty, it’s with love – it makes you smile and never out stays it’s welcome.

I almost DJ’d the Trolololo song on Thursday…I wish I had now. I wasn’t sure how many people knew it – looks like this is world-wide! DJNoNo made this rather silly Trololo mashup for it, a combination of Aphrodite’s (NOT AGAIN!) Wooble and The Bee remix and Trololo – it’s silly, messy, and doesn’t probably work entirely but here, have it and I hope it raises a smile (that’s not hard with Trololo). This will probably not be posted elsewhere so let’s keep it a secret between you and I, eh? Probably for the best, not sure the world is ready for such madness…

And someone has even done an Trololo Audiosurf video already and it even works with that…

Here’s a message from the man himself:

The mashup cupboard emptying and Aphrodite-luvvin’ continues, this time with Instamatic on the mix (could just as well be a DJNoNo release but it’s more on the serious side; the quote at the start from one of my favourite films Garden State about family changes was rather spookily prophetic – this track was finished in July last year!)…anyway this takes Fever Ray’s excellent ‘When I Grow Up’ and makes it share a bunk bed with Aphrodite’s jungle classic ‘Stalker’.

Like some of my mashup vids I sometimes make mashups or longmixes with a feeling or specific intention to be about something – this was definitely about me having to empty my room at home the year previous – and became prophetic about the thoughts around my mother’s death and then going on to emptying her house as well. I don’t think we really appreciate those things and places til they’re gone.

Instamatic – Stalker Fever (Fever Ray vs Aphrodite)

Why did I hang on to it so long? Dunno, I rarely release stuff anymore…I still create mashups but have felt really apathetic about releasing them (ditto with podcasts, bar the making bit!). I think the inevitable criticism or attention wears heavy on me, as I’ve said before I make them for me, this is music as I’d like to hear it, or makes me laugh. If anyone else likes it it’s a bonus…but I’d be lying if external opinion had no bearing which tends to lead to apathy or being wary about letting others hear it, as a really negative review can make me disown ‘my children’ for years (see Stone Cold Roses for that one). It’s also why if you dig around the Wimpy player on the Artists site sometimes you might get the odd unreleased ‘surprise’

DJNoNo‘s frankly quite worrying love affair with Aphrodite (not as dodgy as his obsession with Julie Andrews, the stalking court hearing is in a few weeks) continues with this ode to the Asylum ‘Those Were the Drums’ mashing Mary Hopkin’s 1968 classic ‘Those Were the Days’ with ‘London Massive’ by Aphrodite – and craftily sneaking in some Osymyso talking about Bastard at the Asylum for Swiss TV all those years ago…

DJNoNo – Those Were The Drums(Mary Hopkin vs Aphrodite)

This was played back in November at the 72 night, not got around to posting that and the other tunes I did until now…rest will follow hopefully

The only time of the year I can trot this one out so I may as well work it (the rest of the year it lurks in the corner, gollum style sulking that it only gets the chance to shine for a few days a year)…this is ‘SCarey Xmas’ – Mariah Carey’s perennial ‘All I Want For Christmas’ given a right royal kicking by DJNoNo and Friends (those friends – in the Twitter ‘I don’t really know you’ sense – being Dillinja and Unknown Error, who actually make far more of a contribution than the estimable DoctorNoNo as he is also now called mWAHAHAHA!)

Also available for you festive-fiends, all one of you, is the video for Voicedude’s ‘It’s the Little Things’ the wonderfully strange combination of Blink 182 and BTrans Siberian Orchestraw, hich not only has recently made it onto A Very Bootie Xmas 2 but also his latest (?) Chrismash compilation which I can’t find the link for sadly – I note a re-pitched updated version…which isn’t this one. The video is Box of Delights which I might crack out again and watch. It’s one of my favourite books and TV series of all time.
