Since Chocomang & I opened the
Audioboots mashup forum
( audioboots.org/ ) back in 1959 (lol), we’ve been releasing mashup collections. Each has been arranged along a theme, & they’ve always recieved a great reception. Not a surprise considering the incredible talent featured on them. On past comps there’s been mashups by bootleg stars like rillen rudi, DRA’man, DJ Spider, Hahnstudios, & tons more.
On all the Audioboots comps we make use of your favorite artists songs & shape them into new & very appealing formats. Here’s an example of a track from “SUMMER BOOTY 2020 The Summer Mashup Album” by Voicedude, ”Double Barrel Shotgun" ( George Ezra vs Jr Walker & the All-Stars )

I’m sure you’ll find hours of free fun jammimg this albums out. We already have plans for more mashup comps. Please share the links. I’ll catch you again next week with more mashups.
• Isadora Duncan’s early life was harsh after her mother separated from her father. Little money was available, and the family was forced to move from dwelling to dwelling. When Ms. Duncan was nearly eight years old, her school class was asked to write a story about their lives. The other children wrote happy stories, but little Isadora wrote about unkind landlords. Her teacher thought she was making up lies, and so the teacher spoke to Isadora’s mother about the story. Isadora’s mother started crying and said that the story was true. (Despite the lack of money, Isadora was introduced to culture very early in her life. Her mother played classical music on the piano and read Shakespeare to her children.)
• In the USSR, ballerinas were major celebrities — and in the countries formed by the breakup of the USSR, they are still major celebrities. A group of children from Moldavia was visiting the Bolshoi when they found out that Galina Ulanova was practicing in a room next door. The children raced around the adults trying to keep them out of the practice room and watched her, entranced. Such scenes are repeated. When Ms. Ulanova returned to Leningrad to dance as a guest, its citizens were excited. As she warmed up, a door to the balcony over her warming-up area opened and some children stood and watched her, spellbound.
• As a child, Agnes de Mille saw Anna Pavlova dance twice. She was mesmerized each time and motivated to study dancing. The second time she saw Ms. Pavlova dance, she was able to visit her backstage with a few adult friends. Ms. Pavlova kissed her on the cheek and gave her some flowers, and Agnes was so overwhelmed at being in the star’s presence that she began to cry. Years later, Agnes learned that Ms. Pavlova acted that way with all the little girls who were brought to see her. But it didn’t matter to Agnes, for Ms. Pavlova was a star of dance.
• After World War II, in which she worked for the Resistance and was awarded the croix de guerre and the Legion of Honor with the Rosette of the Resistance, Josephine Baker adopted 12 orphans of several nationalities (including Finland, Ivory Coast, Korea, and Algeria) and several religions (including Buddhist, Shinto, Catholic, Jewish, and Moslem) and brought them to live with her in France. She called the adopted orphans the Rainbow Tribe and hoped that they would be a model for world brotherhood.
• Everyone — including creative, successful, famous people — has been rejected at one time or another. When she was a teenager, young people’s author Jean Little attended a party where a chaperone encouraged her to participate in a Sadie Hawkins dance where her partner would be whoever was closest to her when a piece of music stopped. Unfortunately, the boy closest to her looked at her, said, “Oh, God, no” — then left her on the dance floor. (She spent the rest of the evening standing behind the record player.)
• When children’s book author/illustrator Tomie dePaola was growing up, he took dance lessons and occasionally participated in a dance concert with the other child dancers. One year, he was supposed to dance as a pirate, and he wanted to have an eye patch so he could look scary. Therefore, he started giving his dance teacher, Miss Leah, some drawings of pirates. Each pirate wore an eye patch. Miss Leah got the hint, and she allowed Tomie to wear an eye patch during the dance.
• At age four, future Olympic gymnast Shannon Miller had a problem. Tessa, her older sister, was taking dance lessons, but money was tight and young Shannon could not take lessons with her sister. She solved the problem the next time her grandmother telephoned. Talking on the phone, young Shannon told her the sad story, and Grandma agreed to pay for her lessons.
• As a very young dance student, Suzanne Farrell often practiced at home, using an armchair to represent a male partner. She had read about and liked the male dancer Jacques d’Amboise, so she named the armchair after him. Later, as a dancer with the New York City Ballet, Ms. Farrell danced with the real Jacques d’Amboise.
In 1971, what song provided Cher with her first solo number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100, her first music video, and her first Grammy Award nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance?
Introduced in "Gold Diggers Of Broadway" in 1929, this song held the number 1 position for 10 weeks, and was revived February 5, 1968, on the debut episode of Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In, becoming Tiny Tim's signature song. What is the title of this song?
"Tiptoe Through the Tulips", also known as "Tip Toe Through the Tulips with Me", is a popular song published in 1929. The song was written by Al Dubin (lyrics) and Joe Burke (music) and made popular by guitarist Nick Lucas. On February 5, 1968, singer Tiny Tim made the song a novelty hit by singing it on the debut episode of the popular American television show Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In.
"Crooning Troubadour" Nick Lucas topped the US charts with "Tiptoe Through the Tulips" in 1929, after introducing the song in the musical "talkie" film Gold Diggers of Broadway. Lucas's recording held the number 1 position for 10 weeks. Other artists charted with the song in 1929, including Jean Goldkette (number 5), Johnny Marvin (number 11), and Roy Fox (number 18).
The song was used in Sinkin' in the Bathtub, the first Looney Tunes cartoon short, in 1930. It is also heard in the opening scene of the 1945 film Confidential Agent.
The song was revived in 1967 by the California rock group the Humane Society and in 1968 by Tiny Tim, whose version charted at number 17 that year, becoming his signature song, which he would continue to perform throughout his career. The song was also later covered by The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band.

Well, thanks for an easy one, Marty: “Tip-Toe through the Tulips” is the song that made Tiny Tim famous.
Spent some time in the garden today; the romaine and red butter lettuces are producing enough that we can have 2 salads a day. We were wondering why the cauliflower wasn’t producing (there are tiny buds on the broccoli). I found the label and it turns out they’re kale. No wonder we don’t have any cauliflower.

Evan is WALLOWING in schadenfreude, and he writes it so well! Evan must be related to me:
"yesterday, the Royal and Ancient (R&A), which puts on the British Open, also said it wouldn't bring its happy nicetime tournament to Turnberry in Scotland EVER. They weren't planning one, but remember how Trump ambassador to the UK Robert "Woody" Johnson got caught literally begging the UK to send the British Open to Turnberry? This is the R&A very loudly just saying not no, but fuck no."
But wait, it gets better!
Guess who else pulled out of Trump last night? Haha GROSS, sorry we just typed that, but it was Deutsche Bank, literally the only major bank in the world that was willing to work with him. He owes them LOTS of money.
As godawful as that video he released during the coup d'etat was, it was the THIRD (and best) version! How crazed did he sound in the first two versions?!
"WaPo notes that the version that went out on Twitter was actually the "most palatable" of three takes, which makes us hope the House is able to subpoena the other two for the historical and "holy shit!" record."
And not even Ivanka could get his attention as he raptly watched the mayhem!
"Not even Trump's good friend Lindsey Graham (in Lindsey Graham's mind, at least) was able to get Trump on the phone; instead, he called Ivanka, who was in the White House during the crisis but couldn't get her father to talk to her. This was especially galling, since not getting her father's attention is Tiffany's job."

Sophia Loren, the Oscar winner who has returned to the screen starring in this year’s Netflix move The Life Ahead directed by her son Edoardo Ponti, will receive this year’s KCET Cinema Series Lumičre Award. The honor, which recognizes excellence, artistry and innovation and outstanding contribution to film, will be bestowed during a special screening of the film January 28.
Loren and Ponti will join the screening, hosted by Deadline’s Pete Hammond, for a conversation about the movie, her life and career.
In The Life Ahead, Loren plays Madame Rosa, a Jewish Holocaust survivor and former sex worker, who is brought together in unlikely circumstances with Momo (Ibrahima Gueye), a Senegalese street kid. After a contentious start they begin to find a deeper connection to each other that ends up changing the course of both of their lives. The pic is her first feature film in a decade.
Pulitzer-Prize winners Garry Wills, Ron Chernow, Jon Meacham and Stacy Schiff are among hundreds of historians who have signed an open letter calling for President Donald Trump (R-Lock Him Up) to be removed from office after last week’s siege of the U.S. Capitol by his supporters.
“By fomenting violence against the Congress and seeking to subvert constitutional democracy, which resulted in the killing of a Capitol police officer and the deaths of several rioters, Trump has violated his oath of office to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States,” the letter, released online Monday, reads in part. “He is a clear and present danger to American democracy and the national security of the United States.”
The letter’s principal drafters were Sean Wilentz, Sidney Blumenthal and David Greenberg. Others endorsing it include Douglas Brinkley, David Blight, Mary Beth Norton, Rick Atkinson, Diane McWhorter and Rick Perlstein.
With days left in Trump’s presidency, the Democratic-led House of Representatives is preparing to impeach Trump this week. Trump would face a single charge — “incitement of insurrection” — over the riot at the Capitol, according to a draft of the articles obtained by The Associated Press.
The White House reporter for Voice of America was abruptly pulled from her beat after trying to question Secretary of State Mike Pompeo (R-Lock Him Up) following a speech he gave at the government agency this week.
Pompeo’s speech and the demotion of Patsy Widakuswara led to an angry phone meeting between journalists and managers Tuesday that typified some of the tensions at the agency during President Donald Trump (R-Lock Him Up)’s administration.
In his speech on Monday, Pompeo said that “it’s not fake news for you to broadcast that this is the greatest nation in the history of the world.” He said he backed their role as journalists, but said the agency was not “Vice of America” and that its broadcasts had too often demeaned the country.
Apparently unsatisfied with the questions put to Pompeo, Widakuswara shouted her own as he was leaving. “Mr. Secretary, what are you doing to repair the United States’ reputation around the world?” she asked, in reference to last week’s riot at the U.S. Capitol, according to a tape of the encounter she later tweeted.
When he didn’t answer, she asked, “Mr. Secretary, do you regret saying there will be a second Trump administration?”
In Hayward, California, library director Jayanti Addleman was cited for her “inspiring optimism and extensive expertise” during the ongoing pandemic. At Washburn University, in Topeka, Kansas, librarian Sean Bird made sure that students now taking all courses online because of the coronavirus received laptops.
Addleman and Bird are among 10 winners of this year’s I Love My Librarian Awards, presented by the American Library Association and sponsored by Carnegie Corporation of New York. Each honoree receives $7,500, and a $750 donation to their library. The winners are nominated by library patrons for “expertise, dedication and profound impact” on their communities.
Other winners include Jessica Bell of Boston’s MGH Institute of Health Professions for making the library “a world-class resource for teaching and learning”; Naomi Bishop at the University of Arizona College of Medicine, in Phoenix, for being “a champion for social justice”; and Jesse Braun of Beverly Vista Middle School Library, in Beverly Hills, California, for leadership in providing online and physical resources during the pandemic.
Also cited: Adilene Estrada-Huerta of the Sacramento (California) Public Library for “outstanding outreach services to Spanish-speaking families”; Jianye He at the University of California, Berkeley, for helping Chinese studies scholars; and Jane E. Martellino at the International School at Dundee, in Greenwich, Connecticut, for “creating a vibrant culture of literacy on campus and beyond.”
Also: Jennifer L. Newcome at Northeastern High School in Manchester, Pennsylvania, for turning the library into a “community hub,” and Elizabeth Nicolai of the Anchorage (Alaska) Public Library for “promoting literacy” and other services “among Alaska’s youth.”
Facing likely impeachment — and the potential for criminal liability — for helping incite last week’s deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol, President Trump (R-Lock Him Up) on Tuesday sought to defend himself, saying the speech he gave at a rally shortly before the siege was “totally appropriate.”
Speaking to reporters at Joint Base Andrews before departing for Alamo, Texas, the president was asked whether he accepted any personal responsibility for the events that left at least five people dead, including a Capitol Police officer, after a violent mob of his supporters stormed the Capitol building.
“So if you read my speech, and many people have done it, and I’ve seen it both in the papers and in the media, on television, it’s been analyzed and people thought what I said was totally appropriate,” Trump replied. “And if you look at what other people have said, politicians at a high level, about the riots during the summer, the horrible riots in Portland and Seattle and various other places, that was a real problem, what they said. But they’ve analyzed my speech and my words and my final paragraph, my final sentence and everybody to the T thought it was totally appropriate.”
“We fight like hell, and if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore,” Trump exhorted the thousands of supporters who had gathered on the Ellipse, at the other end of the Mall from the Capitol. “We will not take it anymore, and that is what this is all about.”
“We’re going to walk down, and I’ll be there with you,” Trump said, before returning via motorcade to the White House, where he reportedly watched the carnage on television. “We are going to the Capitol. … We’re going to try and give them the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country.”
Three lawmakers have now tested positive for Covid-19 after sheltering in place with lawmakers who refused to wear masks during the violent rioting at the U.S. Capitol last week.
Rep. Brad Schneider, D-Ill., said in a statement Tuesday morning that he got tested Monday on the advice of the House attending physician, but is not yet experiencing symptoms.
"Several Republican lawmakers in the room adamantly refused to wear a mask, as demonstrated in video from Punchbowl News, even when politely asked by their colleagues," Schneider said in a statement. "Today, I am now in strict isolation, worried that I have risked my wife’s health and angry at the selfishness and arrogance of the anti-maskers who put their own contempt and disregard for decency ahead of the health and safety of their colleagues and our staff."
Rep. Pramila Jayapal, a Washington state Democrat, said in a statement early Tuesday that she had been quarantining since the attack and learned of her positive test result Monday night.
Earlier Monday, Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, D-N.J., said she had received a positive rapid Covid-19 test.
A man wrongly experimented with the psychedelic drug "magic" mushrooms when he turned them into tea, which he injected into his veins, causing organ failure.
According to a case report out today in the Journal of the Academy of Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry, the 30-year-old man's family brought him to a Nebraska emergency room after they noticed he seemed confused.
The man had bipolar disorder type 1, the doctors who wrote the case study learned, and he hadn't been taking his medications so he'd been going through manic and depressive episodes. During recent episodes related to his bipolar disorder, he'd researched how he could decrease his opioid use at home, his family said.
That's when he read about the potential for psilocybin, the psychedelic drug found in "magic" mushrooms, for treating symptoms of depression and anxiety.
But the man in the case study boiled the mushrooms in water, filtered the liquid through a cotton swab, and then injected the substance into his bloodstream.
Baby sharks will find it difficult to survive on the Great Barrier Reef by the end of the century, scientists say, with climate change and warmer oceans leading to the creatures being born smaller, exhausted and undernourished.
A new study by James Cook University's (JCU) ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies focused on epaulette sharks, an egg-laying shark found only on the Great Barrier Reef.
Study co-author Jodie Rummer said the epaulette shark was a species that was "really tolerant" to challenging and changing conditions, including ocean acidification.
"We started investigating the effects of [rising] temperatures … and what's particularly alarming is that temperatures seem to be its kryptonite," Dr Rummer said.
"Warmer temperatures are really having a negative effect on at least the early development of this particular shark species."
