M Is FOR MASHUP - RERUN - from January 31st, 2014

Best Of Mashups 2013 Roundup!

By DJ Useo






One of my favorite things about the new year rolling around is the many best of the previous year collections that appear. Allow me now to present you some of the best! I admit these all suit my tastes, but I've played them all a lot already, and I'm confident you'll find them highly pleasing. ( And they don't cost a cent! )




















01-"BEST OF BOOTIE 2013" as compiled by A PLUS D is available in three different versions, a-Unmixed version-full individual tracks, b-Continuous Mix Version, and c-Continuous Mix Version, Divided into 22 tracks. Now a that's class act! But wait, it doesn't end there! You also get, for FREE, a 10-track bonus disc. Imagine being at a fantastic live club mashup concert with the best blends available. That's this collection! The selection of tracks and producers is totally satisfying.
( bootiemashup.com/bestofbootie2013/ )




















02-"BEST OF BOOTIE RIO 2013" is just what you think! An affiliated offshoot of the BOOTIE franchise, but located in marvelous RIO! The collection is 21 "melhores mashups do ano produzidos por brasileiros". As per the USA version, it contains superb mixes from many of the top bootleggers south of the border. There's also a 2nd disc with wonderful producers gringos who reprocess Brazilian music. If you need a break from the full-on Brazilian style of disc one, you may find yourself easily enjoying the gringo disc 2. Me, I was into both! They come in mixed, unmixed, and mixed single tracks, too. The tracks will have you seeking out more by the contributors. These guys rule!
( bootierio.wordpress.com/2013/12/12/best-of-bootie-rio-2013/ )





















03-DJ Morgoth over at MASH UP YOUR BOOTZ ( mashupyourbootz.blogspot.com ) brings his personal selections known as "Mash-Up Your Bootz Party Best of 2013". This collection is fantastic. These 35 tracks are all mashups guaranteed to compel you to dance. The selection of producers represented is so refined, and satisfying. The quality never dips. Once more, the release also is available as a long mix version. A really fantastic long mix version, too. Prepare for delight.
( mashupyourbootz.blogspot.com/2013/12/mash-up-your-bootz-party-best-of-2013.html )





















04-DRA'man "Best of 2013" comes to you as single tracks to stream, or download. Believe me, they are all finest kind mixes that you'll enjoy for many years. ( "Hey, Marty, check out this mashup! It's from 2013!" ) DRA'man can mix from any source with always consistant results. Have a gander at the pairings he's mixed with this 30-track assortment! It rarely gets better than this.
( soundcloud.com/draman/sets/draman-best-of-2013 )





















05-"Michmash - Best of 2013" is a 30-track selection that never dips in quality. There's plenty of genre clash that sounds like it started that way. Have a look at the artists mashed, and you'll soon be playing them loud and proud! I always try to keep up with Michmash, yet there were some here I missed, and I wouldn't want to. Been playing this album lots. You will, too. You can stream, download individual tracks or click "Tout télécharger" for the full zip file.
( www.archive-host.com/playlist/list.php?id=zf4v2l0ky1ve&v=ht2&s=1 )











I prob'ly missed more best ofs, but lem'me assure you, the stuff mentioned above deserves all the praise I heaped on it.


Have fun now!












Mix Of The Week

Chocomang's "Selection 2013" is one incredible long track that provides a superb overview of many of his best tracks from last year. It's unbeatable when it comes to appeal, yet there's plenty of variety, even within each track. Take a view of the 16 cuts included, and grab or stream the entire track here

Look for the single tracks here

Mashup Tip

Mix live with 2 turntables and a microphone. It's great practice, and tons of fun.

Trivia Question from Yesterday


Who is the only person to receive a best acting nomination in any of the Star Wars movies?


      Alec Guinness                                                      Source


Sir Alec Guinness, CH CBE (2 April 1914 - 5 August 2000) was an English actor. After an early career on the stage he was featured in several of the Ealing Comedies, including The Ladykillers and Kind Hearts and Coronets in which he played eight different characters. However, he was probably best known for his six collaborations with David Lean: Herbert Pocket in Great Expectations (1946), Fagin in Oliver Twist (1948), Col. Nicholson in The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957, for which he won the Academy Award for Best Actor), Prince Faisal in Lawrence of Arabia (1962), Yevgraf in Doctor Zhivago (1965), and Professor Godbole in A Passage to India (1984). He is also well known for his portrayal of Obi-Wan Kenobi in George Lucas's original Star Wars trilogy, receiving a nomination for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.        Source

Charlie was first, and correct, with:
   Alec Guinness was nominated for Best Actor in a Supporting Role for playing Obi-Wan Kenobi in the original film.




Lois Of Oregon said:
   AHA! I know this one...Sir Alec Guinness! It's a drag he didn't get an oscar for the role of OB1.

Adam answered:
   Alec Guiness.



Kevin K. in Washington, DC responded:
   Sir Alec Guinness was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Obi-Wan Kenobi in the first Star Wars.



Sally said:
   I believe that Sir Alec Guinness is the only person to receive a best acting nomination in any of the Star Wars movies.

  The great Obi Wan Kenobi!
  What more is there to say?
  PS: I know this because my son is a Star Wars fanatic! As about age 2, while being pushed in a shopping cart through a Target store, he spied a display of Star War figures. He grabbed one and would not let go - even though he had never seen anything Star Wars before. Soon, we had all of the figures, a set of SW sheets, underwear, and some stuffed wookies. Even now, in his late 30's, he has some of his treasures on display in his store in Winston-Salem NC! He says you would be surprised at how many people stop in just to see and talk about them.
  Ah, men and their toys...




Marian replied:
   Alec Guinness



Dale of Diamond Springy, Norcali, replied:
   That would be Sir Alec Guiness as Obi Wan Kenobi. That's it!





DJ Useo, answered:
   Now, I know my Star Wars trivia pretty well, but you got me here.
  I does not know.
  Prob'ly something to do with Guiness. That's what the guys at the comic shop always say as a joke.

Hello Bartcop fans,

As you all know the untimely passing of Terry was unexpected, even by him. We all knew he had cancer but we all thought he had some years left. So some of us who have worked closely with him over the years are scrambling around trying to figure out what to do. My job, among other things, is to establish communications with the Bartcop community and provide email lists and groups for those who might put something together. Those who want to play an active roll in something coming from this, or if you are one of Bart's pillars, should send an email to active@bartcop.com.

So - to let you know what's going on, the guestbook on bartcop.com is still open for those who want to write something in memory of Bart.

I did an interview on Netroots Radio about Bart's passing
( www.stitcher.com/s?eid=32893545 )

The most active open discussion is on Bart's Facebook page.
( www.facebook.com/bartcop )

You can listen to Bart's theme song here
or here.
( www.bartcop.com/blizing-saddles.mp3 )
( youtu.be/MySGAaB0A9k )

We have opened up the radio show archives which are now free. Listen to all you want.
( bartcop.com/members )

Bart's final wish was to pay off the house mortgage for Mrs. Bart who is overwhelmed and so very grateful for the support she has received. Anyone wanting to make a donation can click on this the yellow donate button on bartcop.com

But - I need you all to help keep this going. This note isn't going to directly reach all of Bart's fans. So if you can repost it on blogs and discussion boards so people can sign up then when we figure out what's next we can let more people know. This list is just over 600 but like to get it up to at least 10,000 pretty quick. So here's the signup link for this email list.

'Back Home Again in Indiana'

Jim Nabors

Actor Jim Nabors says this year's Indianapolis 500 will be the last time he performs "Back Home Again in Indiana" live to a global audience of race fans.

The 83-year-old Nabors says his health limits his travels from his home in Hawaii, so he'll be "retiring" from singing the ode at the Indianapolis 500 after the May 25 race.

Nabors' rendition of the song has become a traditional part of the pre-race events since he first performed it in 1972.

The actor best known as television's Gomer Pyle has performed the song live at the race every year since 1987 with the exception of 2007 and 2012. This year will be his 35th performance.

Weisman and Clarke, both British, were prisoners at the camp after the escape that took place on the night of March 24, 1944, when a group of 76 prisoners emerged from a tunnel they had made in order to flee. Only three airmen made it home. Fifty others were executed when caught, and 23 were sent to other camps, but survived the war. The 1963 Hollywood movie "The Great Escape," starring Steve McQueen, tells the story.

Major Impact on 2013 Box Office

Hispanic Moviegoers

Hispanic moviegoers played a huge part in the record 2013 U.S. box office, according to figures released Tuesday by the MPAA.

Despite representing roughly 17 percent of the U.S. population, Hispanics bought up 25 percent of the movie tickets sold in the U.S. last year. They also continued the trend of oversampling as frequent moviegoers - those who go to the movies more than once a month - relative to their proportion of the population, and the total number of frequent Hispanic moviegoers (11.6 million) continues to grow.

Motion Picture Association of America Chairman Chris Dodd detailed the strong Hispanic representation in his state of the industry report delivered Tuesday at CinemaCon in Las Vegas.

Despite purchasing fewer tickets in 2013 compared to 2012, Hispanics remained more likely than any other ethnic group to go to movies, according to the report. African-Americans and "others" purchased more tickets in 2013 than in 2012.

Massachusetts Maritime Academy Commencement

Capt. Phillips

Richard Phillips, whose real-life ordeal as a hostage of Somali pirates was the subject of the movie "Captain Phillips," has been selected to address graduates at Massachusetts Maritime Academy's commencement.

Phillips, a 1979 graduate of the college, will also receive an honorary degree at the June 21 ceremony.

He was captain of the commercial cargo vessel Maersk Alabama when it was captured by four pirates in the Indian Ocean in April 2009. He was held in a lifeboat for five days before Navy SEAL snipers killed three pirates and freed him. A fourth was captured.

School president Rear Adm. Richard Gurnon also invited actor Tom Hanks - who portrayed Phillips in the movie - to the graduation. But he cannot make it because of scheduling conflicts.

"We thought it would be cool to have both of them," Gurnon told the Cape Cod Times. "Tom Hanks has two movies back-to-back, so there was no physical way he could make it here."

Early Story Published

Tennessee Williams

Before his mother became the model for Blanche DuBois of "A Streetcar Named Desire" and his sister the inspiration for Laura Wingfield of "The Glass Menagerie," Tennessee Williams drew upon a college girlfriend - if only in name - to tell a story of desire, drunkenness and regret.

"Crazy Night" is a work of short fiction unseen by the general public until this month's release in the spring issue of The Strand Magazine, a quarterly based in Birmingham, Mich. The story is narrated by a college freshman who confides about his romance with a senior, Anna Jean. Williams, while attending the University of Missouri at Columbia, briefly dated fellow student Anna Jean O'Donnell and wrote poetry about her.

"It ('Crazy Night') seems to have been written when Williams was rather young, probably around the 1930s," said Strand managing editor Andrew Gulli, who has previously unearthed works by Mark Twain, Joseph Heller and Robert Louis Stevenson.

"The funny thing is that Williams in his notebooks and memoirs went into a lot of detail about his love affairs but with Anna Jean he made only a passing mention. Could this be the missing piece of the puzzle?"

Rehab

David Cassidy

A judge has sentenced 1970s teen heartthrob David Cassidy to three months in rehab and five years of probation in a drunken driving case.

Cassidy's attorney, Steven Graff Levine, entered an open plea to a Los Angeles judge Monday, admitting that he was driving under the influence when he was arrested in January after making an illegal turn.

Levine says Cassidy has been in rehab and will remain for longer than his sentence requires. He says Cassidy is committed to his sobriety and wants to break the cycle that got him arrested for drunken driving twice in less than six months. A DUI case in New York was reduced from a felony to misdemeanour earlier this month.

Speeding Case Postponed

Flavor Flav

Entertainer Flavor Flav must return to his native New York at least one more time to answer charges stemming from his arrest as he raced to his mother's funeral.

Police say the rapper and reality TV star was speeding and driving without a license, a felony, on Jan. 9 on the Meadowbrook Parkway on Long Island.

Flav, whose real name is William Drayton, told reporters as he entered a Nassau County courtroom on Tuesday that he hoped to resolve the case. Drayton, who lives in Las Vegas, grumbled that flights from there to New York were becoming expensive.

Drayton also faces felony assault and other charges in Las Vegas after allegedly threatening his longtime girlfriend's teenage son.

Illegal Lizard Sale

Donald Schultz

Donald Schultz, the former host of a popular Animal Planet TV show featuring some of the world's most deadly creatures, was sentenced in a California federal court on Tuesday to community service and $9,000 in fines for selling two endangered lizards online.

Schultz had pleaded guilty last year to trying to sell the desert monitor lizards to an undercover federal agent who answered a 2010 online ad seeking about $3,000 for the reptiles, according to officials at U.S. Attorney's Office for the Central District of California.

The former host of Animal Planet's "Wild Recon" was charged with one count of violating the Endangered Species Act, a federal law that protects and recovers imperiled species and ecosystems.

According to federal prosecutors, Schultz met with an undercover agent posing as a prospective buyer at his home in Los Angeles where he agreed to ship the reptiles to another buyer in Buffalo, New York.

Under a plea deal, Schultz agreed to pay a $6,000 fine, $3,000 in restitution and 200 hours of community service, prosecutors said.

Extreme Events

UN

The head of the U.N. weather agency said Monday that recent extreme weather patterns are "consistent" with human-induced climate change, citing key events that wreaked havoc in Asia, Europe, the U.S. and Pacific region last year.

Michel Jarraud, secretary-general of the World Meteorological Organization, said his agency's annual assessment of the global climate shows how dramatically people and lands everywhere felt the impacts of extreme weather such as droughts, heat waves, floods and tropical cyclones.

The U.N. agency called 2013 the sixth-warmest year on record. Thirteen of the 14 warmest years have occurred in the 21st century.

Australia, meanwhile, had its hottest year on record and parts of central Asia and central Africa also notched record highs.

More US Marines

Australia

The United States will send 1,150 Marines to Australia in April, bolstering the roughly 200-member force already in Darwin, officers said Monday.

The reinforcements are part of a planned deployment of up to 2,500 US Marines in Australia by 2016-2017, as Washington pursues a strategic "rebalance" to the Asia-Pacific.

Most of the Marines will come from the 1st Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment at Camp Pendleton in California and are "expected to arrive in Australia in early April," the Marine Corps said in a statement.

The force will include four CH-53E Sea Stallion helicopters and about 100 personnel to operate and maintain the aircraft, it said.

Change With The Times

Statues

Wearing only a strategically carved cluster of leaves, the chiseled male figure towering over two female forms in the 1922 marble sculpture "The Triumph of Civic Virtue" now watches over a lonely cemetery in Brooklyn.

The same statue, once representing victory over vice and corruption, was a long-time fixture on a pedestal outside Queens Borough Hall. Two years ago, it was decried as sexist and offensive by an angry public and exiled to Greenwood Cemetery.

Now civic groups are demanding a similar fate for an 1892 bronze statue in New York's Central Park of medical pioneer James Marion Sims, long revered as the father of modern gynecology, but more recently found to have experimented on female slaves.

Changing U.S. attitudes and values involving race, gender, and other issues are prompting demands to tear down decades-old statues of heroes now seen as villains by Americans who say history is not written in stone.

Twenty-first century America's rejection of once common behavior, from slavery to mistreatment of women, children and laborers, has sparked outrage over monuments in parks, statehouses and other public spaces across the country.
