I'll Return This Sunday

Don't ask, but I will tell that I'll be back by Sunday night, the last day of the month.

You Can Never Win

This weekend, I'll bring up another old mashup from a few years ago. It was part of a mix that I plugged last year but I figured it deserved another mention, this time separately. Once again it can be found at Good Blimey's Mashup Page; it's in Volume 6.

It's from Groovepod Panikk, a trio of DJ's/musicians who I don't believe are around anymore, which is unfortunate as from what little I heard of them, they're pretty cool. That's about all the info I have on them, alas. The song is Never Win The Wall, which is a combo of Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2) by Pink Floyd and Never Win, by Fischerspooner. That was the first time I heard that electronic group; overall I don't think that their whole schtick is really for me, but Never Win is a quality song and it works really well with Pink Floyd's biggest hit on the charts. Like I said, you can find it in Volume 6 of the link I provided, and I'll be back next weekend with another mashup to talk about.

A Day Late, 50 Cent Short

I decided to wait and do this now instead of last night, as among other things, I realized that I needed to leave the house now instead of later to do my activities downtown. I’ll talk about it on my other music page in a few days.

As for this update, I’ll bring up some links I’ve plugged many times before, but I’m bringing them up again for good reason. There’s the Bootie Blog, and recently posted there is not only the past two months of their favorite mashups of the month, there is also a recap of their journey to Australia to do some shows. That’s another country I’d like to visit one of these days. By the way, I recommend DJ Schmolli's song, as he somehow made a combo of Blue Monday and In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida work.

As for the song I’m going to point out, once again it’s from Good Blimey, but hey, look at all the hundreds of tunes they have up on there; I could use them as a source until I’m in the cemetery if I wanted to. Anyway, the tune can be listened to and downloaded in Volume 6. It is from Agent Lovelette, a person who used to do mashups but doesn’t do it anymore. This is pretty old, from a few years ago in fact. It’s called Lil Bit Damaged, as it combines Just a Lil Bit from 50 Cent and Damaged Goods, from Gang of Four, only the unique thing was done of the backing track (Damaged Goods) being played using an old Nintendo! No kidding. Then again, there’s D Pad Hero, which does the same thing, and is one amazing feat that guy pulled off, by the way. As for this mashup, it's good stuff and you won't look at the original "Fiddy" song the same ever again.

I'll be back next weekend with another song to spotlight.

Happy Cinco de Mayo

Yes, I've finally returned. I apologize for all the non-posts and breaks during the past 6 months or so, but it was due to my zany schedule. But, things should be more normal now.

Today is Cinco de Mayo, but I wasn't able to find any relevant songs that tied in to that. So, I'll just repost something that at the time had a working link but not any longer.

The song I talked about originally can be looked at here. They re-did their page and now you can't find it there. So, you'll have to look here to get the tune, along with quite a few other older mashups from a few years ago (that song in question is near the bottom). Enjoy. It's a great song for a night like tonight, where you may want to go out and enjoy it being an unofficial national Mexican holiday, no matter your race, creed or color. But, don't drive drunk, whatever you do.

I'll be back this Friday with another tune.
