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!
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.
Via the wonderful Skip to the End (one of the few podcasts I still make time for – sometimes live, if you don’t listen, why not?) and interesting that he increasingly seems to be more drawn to the YouTube side of things, as I am at the moment.
So here’s a great remix of Return of the Living Dead created only by sounds from that movie:
