Here’s the audio(and video if you scroll down) of my International Mash Bash set (btw several inclusions of Lady Sov’s Love Me Or Hate Me means it is a bit sweary in places). The idea of the set was to combine audio and video – a new one for me – and in part represent Bastard and a theme runs through it commemorating 20 years since the Second Summer of Love (1989) – it seems piano house sound is coming back, so I wanted to mix old and new.

Also it includes Far Out – which was one of the first songs I DJ’d back in 1994 at Milk Laboratory (hence the Milk Lab mentions in the video which I also did) approriate as I said in my previous post, this is my last DJ set…at least for some time, might do VJing, might do online DJing, but probably the last one I’ll do in the flesh. Far too stressful, and far too many people ‘not getting it’ even when I try and make a floorfilling set like this one. Time to stop

And drumroll – here’s the video. Yes I’ve combined the backing video for the Saarbruecken DJing with the set audio – most of it is synched, especially at the end. It is itself a mashup of films, found video, my own work, stop frame anim and animation. It includes video from:

• Unfinished works from 2002 – you might recognise a few people in there
• Hausu (strange 1977 Japanese film)
• My Milk Lab Tapes and TV Smash films
• Amiga demos new and old
• Architectural films
• 24 Hour Party People
• A Swiss documentary about Bastard
• Variety films from the turn of the last century
• Certain D*sney films starring Julie Andrew
• Various documentaries on the Second Summer of Love, rave culture
• Music videos (like, duh)
• UHF (Weird Al film) and Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure
• My Printer Jam video (incidentally Fox has just removed that off YouTube! Boo!)
• Mistah Pok video for Burn Yr Radio with a new arty background which will make you go postal
• Wild Zero – another exceedingly odd Japanese movie

As part of my run up to DJing in Saarbruecken, Germany next weekend (I’m on at 1am Saturday – well it’ll be Sunday by then – 16th May, Room 1 at the 6nul3 club, just before Pilchard and the Who Boys! You can see the flyer here) I’ve been producing quite a few mashups and getting back into the swing of things, along with doing some mashups for the 72 project (Timbearland and Instamatic are me .

Here’s one I may not play in Saarbruecken – it doesn’t currently fit in my set, but if the response is good I might play it It’s a A vs B of the Ting Ting’s Great DJ (7th Heaven Mix) which sounded a bit empty to me so I make it more squelchy, harder, more uptempo and nu-breaksy by adding Shut Up And Dance’s ‘Make the Needle Jump’ from their last excellent album ‘The Great British Public’. I hope you enjoy, and maybe will see some of you in Saarbruecken? Certainly I have several new tracks, an audio-visual extravaganza and a cracking set.

And keep your eye on Radio Clash & Instamatic/DJNoNo blogs over the next week or two as I have new mashups, video, pictures and such stuffs to release.

Oh and to those few who might have heard this before, this is the Mastered version, LOL.

Shut Up And Ting (Ting Tings vs Shut Up And Dance).

EDIT: Thanks to AudioPornCentral for posting my track as part of Illegal Sunday – thanks Simon!

hi, it’s Tim,

This is an email I hoped I would never have to send.

As you probably know, in July of 2007 we had to block usage of Pandora outside the
U.S. because of the lack of a viable license structure for Internet radio streaming
in other countries. It was a terrible day. We did however hold out some hope that a
solution might exist for the UK, so we left it unblocked as we worked diligently
with the rights organizations to negotiate an economically workable license fee.
After over a year of trying, this has proved impossible. Both the PPL (which
represents the record labels) and the MCPS/PRS Alliance (which represents music
publishers) have demanded per track performance minima rates which are far too high
to allow ad supported radio to operate and so, hugely disappointing and depressing
to us as it is, we have to block the last territory outside of the US.

Based on your email address, we believe you may be listening from the UK. If you are
in fact listening from the U.S., please disregard this email. It continues to astound me and the rest of the team here that the industry is not
working more constructively to support the growth of services that introduce
listeners to new music and that are totally supportive of paying fair royalties to
the creators of music. I don’t often say such things, but the course being charted
by the labels and publishers and their representative organizations is nothing short
of disastrous for artists whom they purport to represent – and by that I mean both
well known and indie artists. The only consequence of failing to support companies
like Pandora that are attempting to build a sustainable radio business for the
future will be the continued explosion of piracy, the continued constriction of
opportunities for working musicians, and a worsening drought of new music for fans.
As a former working musician myself, I find it very troubling.

We have been told to sign these totally unworkable license rates or switch off,
non-negotiable…so that is what we are doing. Streaming illegally is just not in
our DNA, and we have to take the threats of legal action seriously. Lest you think
this is solely an international problem, you should know that we are also fighting
for our survival here in the US, in the face of a crushing increase in web radio
royalty rates, which if left unchanged, would mean the end of Pandora.

We know what an epicenter of musical creativity and fan support the UK has always
been, which makes the prospect of not being able to launch there and having to block
our first listeners all the more upsetting for us.

We know there is a lot of support from listeners and artists in the UK for Pandora
and remain hopeful that at some point we’ll get beyond this. We’re going to keep
fighting for a fair and workable rate structure that will allow us to bring Pandora
back to you. We’ll be sure to let you know if Pandora becomes available in the UK.
There may well come a day when we need to make a direct appeal for your support to
move for governmental intervention as we have in the US. In the meantime, we have no
choice but to turn off service to the UK.

Pandora will stop streaming to the UK as of January 15th, 2008.

Again, on behalf of all of us at Pandora, I’m very, very sorry.

-Tim Westergren (Pandora founder)

This is not an unusual occurence – If I go to MTV the video streams are blocked cos I’m from the UK, and it seems Pandora is following suit. In this digital age the record companies, industry bodies such as BPI/RIAA and collection companies such as PPL and MCPS-PRS seem to want to put the genie into the bottle. They would love to reinstall the cultural apartheid that existed before the internet with ‘zones’ (like DVD, I’m sure if they could do that with DRM they would) and country-based markets, and restrictive practices and a legal minefield that make streaming, podcasting et al difficult, rather that embracing the cross-country and cross-market opportunities that exist today, and accepting that internet streaming does not have the same commercial clout than broadcast radio and is not broadcasting in the traditional sense.

Really they are shooting themselves in the foot, because UK artists and music won’t get the opportunities overseas and vice versa because blocking the cross-pollination via demanding high royalty rates – which tbh are mostly eaten up by the agencies themselves – will prove bad and uncreative for the traditional music industry; and those who want to create online will move to CC and self-publishing models, because if more podcasts and streams go non-MCPS/PRS/RIAA it won’t be viable to join those associations – in fact it’ll be commercial death, at least on the Net. But it’s sad because Pandora is a great service and I heard some great music via their intelligent suggestion system, and it’s going to be only the big companies like Yahoo and MSN who will be able to afford those rates, so the whole of internet radio will become like mainstream podcasting a reflection of the takeover by large conglomerates like ClearChannel….large, bloated and boringly commercial, promoting the latest bland urban cack like Souljah Boy and Umbrella rather than anything specifically niche or related to these local markets….

Related, I heard a stupid conversation last night on Radio 3 proposing that intellectual thought would ‘go global’ in 2008, more stupid inane middle-class chatter from the likes of Jonathan Miller; but we don’t want ‘global’ thought, we need local action and thought; but not so local to restrict the cross-talk from other localities. Global does not always equal good; you need to apply to local to the global, rather than what these corporates are doing which is applying the global to the local.
