M Is FOR MASHUP - January 26th, 2011
Remember The 5th Of Psychedelia
By DJ Useo
Hey y'all. I been mixing for a bit & tweaking & tweaking the tracks for maximum effect. Now the effort pays off for everybody with a brand spanking new INTENSE PSYCHEDELIA mashup collection, the 5th in the series. Again, it was the creative lure of working with great psychedelic act like The Dukes Of Stratosphere, The Bevis Frond, The Beatles & Led Zeppelin, that got me at the sound software. Plus access to some cool fodder like The Association & The Hollies.
I hope you drive your neighbors crazy with this set. Crank it up to eleven. It really is intense. It really is psychedelia, & it sure is mashups! Again, the release of a INTENSE PSYCHEDELIA record cab witness an animated gif version of the cover through the aid of ANDY_S. See that

Mashup Tip : Open two windows on your computer at the same time. Then play an acapella in one & an instrumental in the other to see if your mashup ideas are worth pursuing.

NBC News Analyst
Ed Rendell
NBC News has named former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell as a political analyst.
Rendell, already a frequent guest on NBC News broadcasts, will contribute to both NBC and MSNBC as the 2012 presidential race heats up, the network announced Tuesday.
Rendell served two terms as Pennsylvania's governor from 2003 to 2011. He was general chairman of the Democratic National Committee during the 2000 Presidential election. He was mayor of Philadelphia from 1992 to 1999.
NBC says his analyst role begins immediately.

Go Nonprofit
Newport Festivals
The founder of the celebrated Newport jazz and folk festivals is taking them nonprofit in an effort to make sure the events he's been producing for six decades live on after he is gone.
George Wein, 85, said Tuesday he has established a new nonprofit group, the Newport Festivals Foundation, an umbrella organization that will oversee the summertime events.
Wein sold the festivals in 2007, but stepped back in to run them in 2009 after the company that bought them ran into financial troubles. In recent years, amid the economic downturn, they have had trouble attracting sponsors.
Wein said the festivals' conversion under a nonprofit group probably won't make a difference attracting corporate sponsors, although those who give could gain tax benefits, and he sees challenges in raising money for a nonprofit. But he said the change means foundations and music lovers can now make tax-deductible contributions, just as they would to any other cultural or arts organization.

Artifacts To NYC Library
Al Hirschfeld
Show-biz caricaturist Al Hirschfeld immortalized the world of theater with his drawings while sitting in a barbershop chair behind an old desk at his Manhattan studio.
Now, eight years after his death, his widow is donating the artifacts to the Library for the Performing Arts at Lincoln Center.
Theater historian Louise Hirschfeld Cullman married Hirschfeld in 1996.
Hirschfeld Cullman says she feels the pieces belong in the library because Hirschfeld's main focus was New York City and the theater. They'll be permanently displayed in the library's lobby.

Late Diagnosis
Frederic Chopin
Frederic Chopin's habit of drifting off and hallucinating at the piano may have been caused by epilepsy, according to a new study of the 19th-century romantic composer.
Chopin's tendency to lapse out of consciousness was interpreted by his partner George Sand, pseudonym of the French novelist Aurore Dudevant, as "the manifestation of a genius full of sentiment and expression." But in the analysis published this week, Spanish doctors say Chopin's hallucinations may have been due to a temporal lobe epilepsy rather than the result of any sweeping artistic tendencies.
Manuel Vazquez Caruncho and Francisco Branas Fernandez of the Complexo Hospitalario Xeral-Calde in Spain analyzed descriptions of Chopin's hallucinations from those close to him. They propose the French-Polish composer suffered from a type of epilepsy that produces conscious hallucinations that last from seconds to minutes. The research was published in the journal Medical Humanities, a specialist publication of the BMJ.
Caruncho and Fernandez cite an extract from Sand's memoir, where she recalls returning to the home she shared with Chopin, along with her son, after a long journey delayed by flooding. The composer had been playing one of his preludes and told Sand he was lulled to sleep while at the piano and saw himself drowned at the bottom of a lake.
Caruncho and Fernandez say Chopin's hallucinations occurred mostly in the evening or coincided with fever, unlike those linked to psychotic disorders.

BBC World Service
The BBC World Service, part of Britain's state-backed public broadcaster, will shut down five overseas services in response to a cut in its funding from the foreign ministry, it said on Tuesday.
The World Service broadcasts around the planet to an audience of millions in English and 31 other languages. It is one of the best known arms of the BBC around the world, particularly in developing countries.
The organization will close Albanian, Macedonian, Serbian and Portuguese for Africa services, as well as the English for the Caribbean regional service.
On Monday, the BBC said it would close 200 websites over the next two years in a drive to slash costs and reshape online content.

The host of "The O'Reilly Factor" on Fox News Channel, a frequent target of Olbermann's barbs, noted on Monday's broadcast that a "hateful commentator" has been replaced by MSNBC.
"If you read about the shake-up, you would think the MSNBC people were ratings monsters," O'Reilly said. "That's outright deception by the liberal press, is it not?"
"Yes," answered Fox News contributor Bernard Goldberg.

Files Lawsuit
Jesse Ventura
Former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura sued the Department of Homeland Security and the Transportation Security Administration on Monday, alleging full-body scans and pat-downs at airport checkpoints violate his right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures.
Ventura is asking a federal judge in Minnesota to issue an injunction ordering officials to stop subjecting him to "warrantless and suspicionless" scans and body searches.
The lawsuit, which also names Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and TSA Administrator John Pistole as defendants, argues the searches are "unwarranted and unreasonable intrusions on Governor Ventura's personal privacy and dignity . and are a justifiable cause for him to be concerned for his personal health and well-being."
It claims that under TSA's policy, Ventura will be required to either go through a full-body scanner or submit to a pat-down every time he travels because he will always set off the metal detector.

"Jersey Shore" is headed to the Motherland.
The popular MTV reality TV series starring a group of hard-partying Italian-Americans will film its fourth season in Italy, the network said Tuesday.
The ongoing third season, filmed last summer, features the ongoing feud between Jenni "J-Woww" Farley and Sammi "Sweetheart" Giancola, as well as the introduction of new cast member Deena Nicole Cortese, the wild "partner in crime" of Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, who has the hots for Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino.
The fourth season is set to premiere later this year.

Gets Show On Fox
'Father Oprah'
A former Roman Catholic priest who left the church to marry his girlfriend after the two were photographed embracing on a South Florida beach is getting a new TV show.
Alberto Cutie announced Tuesday he will host the daily talk show "Father Albert" on Fox stations. A Fox spokeswoman says the show will be aired later this year in cities including New York and Los Angeles. It will be picked up nationwide if it does well.
Cutie, nicknamed "Father Oprah" was ordained last year in the Episcopal Church. He and his wife welcomed their first child in December.
Fox Television Stations and Debmar-Mercury are co-producing the show. Cutie got his nickname because of an earlier show he hosted on the Spanish-language Telemundo Network.

Fox Sports Calls For Shorter Races
NASCAR
Fox Sports chairman David Hill believes NASCAR races need to be shortened to fit into a three-hour broadcast window.
Hill said Monday night the length of races - many stretch well into a fourth hour - is one of the problems that's contributed to NASCAR's sinking television ratings.
Hill said the ideal for Fox would be a four-hour broadcast window, with 40 minutes of pre-race coverage and 20 minutes of post-race coverage. Asked if he'd push NASCAR to shorten any of its races, Hill didn't miss a beat.
"NASCAR doesn't negotiate," he deadpanned.

Corpse Stolen
Mike Bongiorno
Police are looking for the body of a late beloved Italian TV host after visitors at the cemetery found his tomb broken into and his coffin missing.
Generations of Italians grew up watching Mike Bongiorno as he hosted quiz shows and other entertainment programs during the fledging days of television in Italy. Bongiorno died in 2009 at the age of 85.
Police in Arona, a town in northern Italy, said officers are still investigating at the Dagnente cemetary and would not comment.
Italian news reports said a local man who came to the cemetery to visit a family grave noticed Bongiorno's tomb was open Tuesday morning and the coffin gone.

Where's The Beef?
Taco Bell
An Alabama law firm claims in a lawsuit that Taco Bell is using false advertising when it refers to using "seasoned ground beef" or "seasoned beef" in its products.
The meat mixture sold by Taco Bell restaurants contains binders and extenders and does not meet the minimum requirements set by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to be labeled as "beef," according to the legal complaint.
The class-action lawsuit was filed Friday in federal court in the Central District of California by the Montgomery law firm Beasley, Allen, Crow, Methvin, Portis & Miles.
Attorney Dee Miles said attorneys had Taco Bell's "meat mixture" tested and found it contained less that 35 percent beef.

Shameful Stats
Science
Very few students have the advanced skills that could lead to careers in science and technology, according to results of a national exam released Tuesday that education leaders called alarming.
Only 1 percent of fourth-grade and 12th-grade students, and 2 percent of eighth-graders scored in the highest group on the 2009 National Assessment of Educational Progress, a federal test known as the Nation's Report Card. Less than half were considered proficient, with many more showing minimal science knowledge.
The results also show a stark achievement gap, with only 10 percent of black students proficient in science in the fourth grade, compared to 46 percent of whites. At the high school level, results were even more bleak, with 71 percent of black students scoring below the basic knowledge level, and just 4 percent proficient.
Fifty-eight percent of Hispanic 12th-grade students scored below basic, as did 21 percent of whites.

Lion Tacos Off Menu
Boca Tacos
An Arizona restaurant has decided to scrap plans to offer African lion meat in its tacos.
Bryan Mazon, the owner of Boca Tacos and Tequila, said Monday that his Tucson eatery has received "many threats" against the restaurant, family members, customers and vendors since he announced last week that he was taking prepaid orders for the exotic tacos.
Boca planned to start serving the lion tacos Feb. 16 at a cost of $8.75 apiece.
Mazon says his restaurant received orders from people around the world. The eatery already has served up python, alligator, elk, kangaroo, rattlesnake, oysters, turtle, duck and frog legs in its tacos.
