In 2010 I’m planning to release the backlog of mashups that got to the sort-of-finished stage and I left due to apathy re: making the covers, mastering (how I HATE mastering – the 7″ version of this took 3 tries!) etc.

So here’s the first, a mashup idea that unusually came from someone else – namely Jeb 50PoundNote who asked why isn’t there a Nasty Girls vs Chewing Gum mashup in existence? A very good question indeed, and here’s the answer:

This comes in two flavours, the ‘7″ Juicy Fruit’ mix and the ‘12″ Bubblicious Genius mix’ – not edits actually totally different mashups, second one I did first as I didn’t have the Chewing Gum instrumental (it’s on the flip side of the 7″) so I used the Headman Dub and Mix, but then Gavin Reborn Identity kindly provided it to me so hence the other version. The DJ version is of course faster, about 126bpm if memory serves, and as Chewing Gum is seriously influenced by Tom Tom Club’s Genius of Love I added a bit of my favourite intro to that song and little bits scattered throughout.

Big thanks to Jeb, Gav and Thomas who apparently couldn’t stop dancing along (that is praise indeed )

Nasty Chewing Girls (7″ Juicy Fruit mix – Vanity 6 ‘Nasty Girls’ vs Annie ‘Chewing Gum’)

Nasty Chewing Girls (12″ Bubblicious Genius mix – Vanity 6 ‘Nasty Girls’ (That’ll Work remix) vs Annie ‘Chewing Gum’ (Headman Dub & mix) & Tom Tom Club – Genius of Love (extended))

UPDATE: Annie Strand herself (if it is her official account) tweeted about this mash! Woohoo! Thanks Glad you like it.

It’s here I’ll reveal secrets of my trade, well not-trade cos I don’t get paid (that almost rhymes!) but I think these methods should be widespread. You might have wondered where I get my videos or tracks for shows…well I’m about to tell you how (well for the PC at least, other computer owners can find your own workarounds).

My payment? Well go forth and save shows/feeds and maybe one day I’ll need something and you’ll have ripped it…

OK so there is loads of meeja out there in Web 2.0-land – for free, but hark! It isn’t cos you can’t download it…or can you?

Enter Player #1

Orbit Downloader (or HiDownload – but this one is freeware)
OK you’re watching YouTube and it’s something that’ll get pulled in a second, or listening to BBC shows in between router-resets (yes I get that – it’s a problem with their P2P b.s.) and want to keep them – how?

Well use a downloader program like Orbit – it’s free! You even get a nice little ‘grab’ button. In the case of BBC you’ll get a nice RM or FLV file (as with YouTube) – I recommend the latter.

Also works with Myspace and other flash players – so all those ‘unavailable’ tracks are now yours…

FLV FLSchmee

What to do with this FLV gubbins? Well there are converters out there, but the best is a little unknown program called FLVExtract – FLVs are basically a [geek]H264 or Sorensen encoded[/geek] video with an MP3 attached – to just separate them use this wonderful program. Voila instant MP3 from your FLV!

Download Yr YTube

There is a lovely tool which downloads from YouTube AND converts them to MP3 if the previous program gives you grief – YouTube Downloader – now you lovely Web 1.0 anarchist types know, it’s always better to have applications on your computer rather than on the web. Why? Well it’s not possible to C&D you all, but it is possible to pull the many ‘Download from Youtube’ sites out there. If you’re not PC, my apologies but you can use those as well.

Now go off and form a band and work it all out for yourself. I won’t answer any technical queries cos it’s tough love and you need to edumacute y’selfs, y’know? The answers are all out there on the touch of a Privacy Menace search button anyway…that’s what the lazyWeb* is for!

Skip to the End 10 Podcast with DJNoNo is live – crazy talk, crazy tunes and crazy three times ten minute mix from a certain insane little red robot DJ. Occasional transient noise outbursts by DJ Lumpy and Mr Herring, and hosting and the rest of the excellent of the tunage from Pete Juxtaposeur, going from rave to dubstep, electro, drum and bass to silly mashups, cutups and breakcore.

Includes 30% more unheard DJNoNo and Instamatic tunage too – some of which won’t be heard for a while, or not in this form.


Here’s the tracklist of the mix, featuring kazoos, accordions and banjos, and err, death metal…

Go on. You knows you want to.

P.S. Thanks to Jeb for pointing out the the Licky song

Just got back from Brizzle – a great time was had by all, the Skip to the End show and my mix went down well despite forgetting to edit the middle bit properly (as Art of Noise once said ‘there wasn’t time’ – I did this mix in 10 hours NON STOP, including 3 new tunes done in Ableton) but the podcast version will fix this – I’ll let you know when Pete puts the show up.

And in other news – Jeb arthole said on his blog that at the Duran Duran show in Concord*, California my Burn Yr Radio bootleg got pre-show play! Wheeeeeeeeeee! That one has a life of it’s own now, nice to see my babies growing up

Supposed to be part of RC 121 but it all got way too long, so here it is as a separate long mix. Swap with your friends! Or swap FOR your friends! Sell them into slavery, I don’t care…

As it’s Gay Pride Month, here’s another alternative love/hate mix about Gay Pride – called Gay Shame  again in honour of Duckie, who aren’t running one this year. So maybe this mix will do?

Or maybe not?

It’s a sequel to this mix/podcast I did back in March 06 – which I thought was called Gay Shame but that’s the subtitle of one of Jeb’s mixes – oops. Bad, bad, bad memory! Jeb’s mix certainly inspired this one…as well as my love of campy silly music that I’ve played throughout Radio Clash.
