I Rock S*** Like Ronnie Dio

I'll keep it simple at this late hour. I'll post the full version of a song that was on the great Best of Bootie 2007 CD download. I say "full" as on the 2007 CD, they cut out the last half minute or so of the song (which is an instrumental, but still), so I figured I should direct you to my upload of the original.

The tune I'm talking about is More Than On Point, by DJ Topcat, combining Boston's More Than A Feeling with House of Pain's On Point. Yep, an obvious connection with both groups sharing the same hometown. It becomes a very catchy song, as the riff on More Than A Feeling is a classic. Whether or not the riff is borrowed from Louie Louie (or likewise, borrowed by Kurt Cobain for Smells Like Teen Spirit) is up for debate, but no matter the case, I'm glad it was used, and it turned out to be a great mashup.

Now, there is a 2008 version of the song on Topcat's website. Go ahead and download it. But, note that it's different from what he released last year; 2008 is fine, but I prefer the original one just a little bit more, so here it is.

Like I said on my other blog, I'll be back on the 30th, due to me being preoccupied with a pair of great wrestling shows this upcoming weekend.

Check Back Monday Night

I was busy on my other music page uploading and then talking about a pair of songs, so I'd rather do what I wanted to do tonight on Monday night rather than half-ass it by doing it now.

In the meanwhile, to get some new mashups, check out the Bootie Blog.

I'll Show You Magic

To copy and paste what I wrote on my other page:

To start this off I will mention that I now rip songs onto my computer using a different service. Up to a few days ago I used Roxio. But, I grew tired of it and I mainly used Nero to make burned CD's or DVD's of videos/data. So I uninstalled Roxio… before thinking about what I would use to rip songs onto my computer.

But, I realized that Windows Media Player, which I of course have, has the option of ripping music. So, I tried that and that's what I should have been using all along. I mean, more often than not it'll recognize the song, artist, and album that is being ripped, which is handy in various ways, including putting stuff on your hard drive so that you can play it in Audiosurf. Trust me on this.

Ok, now let's move along...

Sometimes I stumble upon mashups in the strangest of places. For example, at Madsplash, a wrestling page devoted to Japanese wrestling. They have a themes page and on THIS particular page you can get the theme to Skayde, which happens to be a mashup. It's a combo of Magic Stick and The Stroke, if you can believe it. Even more surprising, it was on a legit album. It was by Inhumanz. I'm not too familiar with them but this tune is pretty rad, so that's a feather in their cap. Now that you have the link, go download it.

I'll be back around this time a week from now.

Yeah!

On my other music blog I talked about the late Jerry Reed and offered up a link in there that will direct you to several other blogs talking about him and posting his most famous tunes.

Back in this entry I briefly mentioned how Reed's East Bound and Down was combined by Pheugoo with Usher's Yeah!, to great effect. Well, I'll finally offer up a direct link to it, even though it's easy to find on Project Playlist. Here is the direct download of a song that you wouldn't think would work, but by Joe does work.

I'll be back on Friday night, and this time I'll be more punctual.

Check Back Monday Night

I apologize for another delay, but since Friday night I've been swamped with things, from seeing the first two Indiana Jones movies on the big screen, to spending most of the day on the Atlantic coast of Florida. I'll have something up Monday night, I promise.
