I always mix my tracks in the moment. Having mixed constantly since around 2004, I developed techniques that speed up the process. Currently, It's normal for me to post 8 "mainstream" mashups, 8 "novelty" mashups, a couple of Beatles mashups every month. You can also expect me to create some for themed comps, & the like.
Here's a list of current tracks you can find on my blog GROOVY TIME WITH DJ USEO
( groovytimewithdjuseo.blogspot.com )
Simply navigate to the blog address & you can hear any of these with ease. The tracks even stream on your phone, if that's easier for you.
01 - "Fly Me To Satisfaction" ( Frank Sinatra vs Journey vs The Rolling Stones )
Classic Lounge vs Classic Rock.
02 - "Ukelele De France" ( Arlo Guthrie vs Kraftwerk )
Traditional Island music vs 80s Techno.
03 - "Angst In My Moon Lagoon" ( Sparks vs Dubmaster Conte vs Eskimos and Egypt )
90s New Wave vs Modern Dubstep.
04 - "Midnight Maria" ( Allman Brothers vs Santana )
1970 Classic Rock vs 1999 Latin Rock.
05 - "I Can't Go For Luv Luv" ( Hall & Oates vs Devo )
07 - "There They Lumber" ( Krafty Kuts featuring Dynamite MC vs Frank Zappa )
2006 Electronica vs 1970 Classic Rock.
08 - "Mirror People Rock And Roll" ( Love And Rockets vs Gary Glitter )
1987 Alt Rock vs 1972 Glam Rock.
09 - "I Walk The Biri Biri Line" ( Johnny Cash vs Dubmaster Conte )
1958 Country Music vs Modern Dubstep.
10 - "Melodic Moog Wait" ( The Beatles vs Imaxx )
1965 Classic Rock vs Modern Electronic.
You'll find lots of variety among these tunes. I strive to keep them in pitch, & watch the production values, which most people prefer. ;)
Of course, you could always just listen to regular unmixed music, but as I understand it, people get tired of great music, & want it wrecked by a DJ . Lol.
Take care y'all. Remember, it may be hard to follow your Doctor's advice, but it sure is wise. Catch you next week.
Marc Dion: Thank You for Letting Us Use Your Service (Creators Syndicate)
There is a new species of hero abroad in the land! And, no, I don't mean President Donald Trump, who now regards himself as a "war president." And, no, I don't mean those guys who "almost joined the military." As the nation slides deeper into uniform worship, the "I almost joined" brigade has swollen to the size of an army. Apparently, even thinking about serving your country is as good as serving. I have a friend, an Army veteran, who has considered punching those who swell with pride when they tell him they "almost" joined. He has yet to throw that punch. Discipline, I guess.
Froma Harrop: The Togetherness of Social Distancing (Creators Syndicate)
As the coronavirus stops normal life, trapping more Americans in their homes, some have raised the specter of another health threat: loneliness. Before this crisis seized our anxieties, much discussion centered around the dangers of perceived social isolation and feeling cut off from others.
From Harrop: Votes Do Matter, Bernie (Creators Syndicate)
If Bernie Sanders were amassing a nearly insurmountable lead in the delegate counts, I have little doubt that he would be saying to Joe Biden: "Democrats have spoken. Time to drop out and help the team." But doing what he expects of others is not Bernie's way. As in the past, he can stay in, waving the implied threat that not adopting his program might cause his base to stay home in November. The impolite word is "extortion," which Sanders launders with baloney claims that he is, somehow, actually winning.
Susan Estrich: The Anger Piece (Creators Syndicate)
Anger at President Donald Trump, of course, who has put his reelection above the lives of my loved ones and downplayed the virus for political reasons, calling it a "hoax" as his loudmouth son was attacking Democrats for allegedly trying to scare people. I have worked to try to defeat every Republican who has run for president for the last 40 years. But I didn't hate Ronald Reagan, or George H.W. Bush, or George W. Bush. I hate Donald Trump.
Released in October 1978, this song was ranked #1 in VH1's list of the 100 greatest dance songs in 2000, and in 2016 the Library of Congress selected it for preservation in the National Recording Registry. What is the title of this February 1980 Grammy-winning hit?
Suede is a type of fuzzy leather with a napped finish, commonly used for jackets, shoes, shirts, purses, furniture, and other items. The term comes from the French gants de Suède, which literally means "gloves from Sweden".
Suede is made from the underside of the animal skin, which is softer and more pliable than, though not as durable as, the outer skin layer.

My old dog (13 years) lead us to the dog park on Monday, a cold, breezy day. We let them play for about 45 minutes. We knew the people there from previous visits; we all maintained 6' between us and the dogs romped and played and behaved as dogs do. The dogs seemed calmer and less needy after we walked home - over 4 miles, not counting the time spent at the dog park -so I'm thinking that the human's social distancing is detrimental to dogs. Even Stella, the most stand-offish of our dogs, tolerated the sniffing and play-bows. Maybe we'll hit the dog park more often, if just for them.
Gloomy, cold, overcast, threatening rain - fingers crossed that it is so.

My city's police chief, who is well-regarded and also a nice guy, was quoted here, and I'm chuffed that he spoke up about a segment of the population that needs protection as much as anyone. Good job, Chief Carli. I hope you get what you need.
• While singing at the Metropolitan Opera, soprano Renata Tebaldi was surprised when the critics left before the end of the opera in order to write their reviews and meet their deadline. She asked, "Do they never stay to the end of the opera? How can they tell what has happened?"
• George Bernard Shaw could be quite caustic in his criticism. One day, he attended a recital by an Italian quartet. During a pause in the recital, a friend remarked, "These men have been playing together for 12 years." Mr. Shaw replied, "Surely we have been here longer than that."
• Blues singer Muddy Waters first heard his voice on a recording in the early 1940s. His impression of his voice was positive; afterward, he said, "I thought, man, this boy can sing the blues. And I was surprised because I didn't know I sang like that."
Dance
• Sir Thomas Beecham conducted the score by Frederick Delius for Romeo and Juliet very slowly - much more slowly than other conductors. During performances of Romeo and Juliet by Ballet Theatre, two men at the close of a number held ballerina Alicia Markova in the air. After a short pause, the music was supposed to start again and the two men would lower Ms. Markova to the ground. However, during one performance, Sir Thomas held the pause a very long time. Because the men were getting tired holding her - their arms were trembling - Ms. Markova whispered that they should lower her to the ground before the music started again. After the performance, Sir Thomas explained why he had paused so long: He had thought that the pose of the two men holding Ms. Markova in the air was very pretty, and so he had paused a long time to let the audience enjoy it.
• While young ballerina Darci Kistler was taking classes at the School of American Ballet, Lyn Stanford was the pianist for the classes taught by Stanley Williams. At the end of class, when all the ballerinas were tired, Mr. Stanford played popular songs such as "A Spoonful of Sugar Makes the Medicine Go Down" - with a ballet beat.
Death
• Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach, aka the father of modern Jewish music, once saved the life of a would-be suicide while on a musical tour in Copenhagen. He saw an emotionally distraught young woman who was being taunted by some teenagers on a beach suddenly walk into the water and swim out to sea. He swam out after her, calling to her and begging her to return to shore. Finally, he shouted out to her, "What about me? You're not only going to kill yourself, but you're going to kill me as well. Please, if you go any further, I'll never make it back. I won't have the strength to swim back." The young woman heard him, turned around, and they swam back to shore together.
• Sir Thomas Beecham, the famed conductor, once desperately needed a set designer and asked David Webster, "How is Aubrey Hammond these days?" Mr. Webster, who knew that Mr. Hammond was now the lateMr. Hammond, said, "He is as well as can be expected." When Sir Thomas ordered, "Well, ring him up," Mr. Webster replied, "Sir Thomas, I don't think he would like to be disturbed."
• When Leonard Bernstein died, Rudolf Nureyev was seen leaving the funeral service. A reporter asked him, "What do you think of Leonard Bernstein's death, Mr. Baryshnikov?" Mr. Nureyev was saddened by Mr. Bernstein's death but later he got a kick out of the reporter's mistake, saying, "Wrong again. They got it wrong again."
Ran to the store to look for potatoes - they've been scarce, lately. Found some & while checking out, the woman in front of me was trying to purchase 8 cans of soup (on sale), but the clerk would only let her buy 4. so I butted in & said I'd buy the other 4 and give them to her outside if there was a problem.
Got my potatoes & her 4 cans of soup, and took them out to her car. Turns out she raises butterflies (monarchs), so we had a great chat, and then she asked me if I'd like a monarch chyrsalis.
Well, hell yeah, so I now have a lovely Monarch chrysalis in the kitchen.

Jimmy Fallon and Trevor Noah discussed how their quarantines are going on Monday's episode of The Tonight Show: At Home Edition.
The episode opened with Fallon's daughters playing the piano and cowbell, while his daughter Winnie drew a sign to act as the show's title card.
Fallon transitioned to his opening monologue, where he joked about the coronavirus pandemic. "I had a tough weekend. The governor of New York declared me the definition of nonessential," he said.
"I haven't noticed any difference in my life. I'm not even trying to be funny here," Noah said about staying indoors to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus. "My whole life I've been an indoor kid, right? I loved playing outside, but I was the kid - my mom had to chase me out of the house to go out and play with other kids cause I was like I wanted to be at home, I wanted to play video games and I wanted to watch TV."
After reiterating that his life hasn't changed, Noah noted that he has been impacted by "the stress of what's happening in the world."
The Supreme Court sided unanimously Monday with North Carolina in a copyright fight with a company that has documented the salvage of the pirate Blackbeard's ship off the state's coast.
Justice Elena Kagan wrote for the court that the company's copyright infringement lawsuit, which she called "a modern form of piracy," could not go forward because the Constitution generally protects states from lawsuits in federal courts.
The 21st century dispute arose over the Queen Anne's Revenge, which ran aground more than 300 years ago.
The ship is the property of the state, but under an agreement North Carolina-based Nautilus Productions has for nearly two decades documented the ship's salvage. In the process, the company copyrighted photos and videos.
Among artifacts that have been brought to the surface are cannons and the anchor, but roughly 40 percent of the Queen Anne's Revenge remains on the ocean floor. The ship was sailing under the French flag when Blackbeard, the Englishman Edward Teach, captured the vessel in the fall of 1717 and made it his flagship.
Last night, Metallica kicked off their Metallica Mondays series of free livestreams featuring pro-shot video from the band's archives. Up first was Metallica: Live at Slane Castle - June 8, 2019, filmed at the famed venue in Slane, Ireland last June.
"While we're all doing our part and staying home, we find ourselves missing live music, so how about we dive back into a few of our favorite shows at a socially responsible distance? Not to sound too cheesy, but now more than ever, we're in this together, and staying connected is how we'll get through it," reads a note from the band announcing Metallica Mondays. "With that in mind, we're bringing a series of Live Metallica shows right to your couch!"
The series will continue each Monday at 8 p.m. ET for the foreseeable future. Metallica's 18-song performance at Slane Castle on June 8, 2019 featured a bevy of classics as well as the band's only "Whiskey In The Jar" of the year. Watch Metallica: Live at Slane Castle - June 8, 2019 below and future installments via the JamBase Livestreams Calendar.
Two days before the Season 1 finale of Star Trek: Picard, Patrick Stewart is offering fans new and old a gift while stuck at home during the coronavirus outbreak.

The freebie is available on CBS All Access' commercial free and limited commercial tiers.
In just two weeks the novel coronavirus managed exactly what anti-abortion activists struggled for nearly five decades to accomplish: it is the biggest threat to legal abortion in America ever imagined. The entire globe is facing completely uncharted territory in public health, and many are working to address the pandemic by implementing telemedicine and other online tools to care for everyday health needs while COVID-19 patients inundate hospitals. This could help people in need of abortions, too - if legalized, doctors could remotely prescribe medication to be taken at home that would terminate pregnancies up to 10 weeks. Yet despite having a safe and effective means of ending an early pregnancy without any need to physically see a medical professional, abortion opponents are instead using this moment to close as many abortion clinics as possible throughout the U.S. - an action that will lead to another health system crisis even if COVID-19 is contained.
Last week, the state of Ohio ordered all abortion clinics to shutter, declaring them non-essential medical providers and claiming that by continuing to operate they are using medical resources and personal protection equipment (PPE) that needs to be prioritized for hospitals dealing with COVID-19 patients. Texas has now followed suit. They will not be the last states to make this argument, either, as abortion opponents across the nation demand that clinics that provide abortion services close during this pandemic.
But medically ending an unwanted pregnancy is an essential health service - one that the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), the American Society for Reproductive Medicine and a number of mainstream medical groups declared must be kept accessible even during this COVID-19 outbreak. According to data from the Center for Disease Control, pregnant people in the United States are now 50% more likely to die in childbirth or soon after than they were just 30 years ago, with those deaths more often occurring in states with the most restrictions on abortion access. Abortion, especially early abortion like that performed remotely by medication, remains far safer than childbirth and often saves the life of a person experiencing a medical emergency during a pregnancy. And those who are unable to access abortion when they want one don't just put themselves at greater health risks, but suffer emotional and economic consequences as well.
Plagued by fundraising woes fueled by the fast-spreading coronavirus, the National Rifle Association is reportedly cutting salaries by 20% and laying off an unspecified number of employees.
The upcoming cuts were announced to workers on Monday, a person familiar with the matter told the Washington Post. According to a tax filing, more than 800 people work for the agency, including part-time workers, who will not be impacted by the recent changes.
Schedules for hourly employees will also be cut from five to four days a week, according to an internal memo obtained by the newspaper.
LaPierre, who recently resisted calls to resign over his lavish spending habits, will likely take a pay cut greater than 20% along with some other high-ranking members.
In Turkey, sprinkling hands with cologne has long been a ritual for a visit to the barber, a meal at a restaurant or even a trip on the bus.
It is seen as a symbol of hospitality, as well as an aid to hygiene, in a country that sets great store by both.
Now Turkish cologne -- found in almost every household, either in the fridge or a closet -- is seeing unprecedented demand as a weapon in the fight against the novel coronavirus.
Many Turks believe cologne, which has a high alcohol content, is effective in keeping hands and faces clean and thus warding off the risk of COVID-19.
Long queues could be seen outside cologne shops in Istanbul's busy spice market, in the historic Eminonu district, in early March before Turkey announced its first confirmed case.
Scientists have found naturally occurring superconducting materials in extraterrestrial objects for the first time, discovering superconductive grains embedded inside two distinct meteorites that crash-landed on Earth.
The discovery is just the latest to show that meteorites are much more than space debris that falls out of the sky. Recent investigations have turned up meteorite-borne deliveries of possible extraterrestrial proteins, minerals we've never encountered, and materials older than the Solar System itself. But we've never seen something quite like this before.
Superconductivity is a set of physical properties that ensures 'perfect' electrical conductivity in a material, meaning all electrical resistance inside the material vanishes, among other effects. This prized phenomenon is incredibly rare in natural materials that haven't been specially treated - or, at least, it's rare on Earth.
In a new study led by researchers from UC San Diego, scientists investigated fragments from 15 different meteorites, using a technique called magnetic field modulated microwave spectroscopy to detect traces of superconductivity inside the samples.
They got two hits: one, in an iron meteorite called Mundrabilla, one of the largest meteorites ever found, which was discovered in Australia in 1911; the other, a rare ureilite meteorite called GRA 95205, located in Antarctica a quarter-century ago.
