M Is FOR MASHUP - April , 2008

New (Again) Arrives, But Not In Stores

By DJ Useo



Readers of my March 19th Column "Mashup Radio Show From Cleveland," will recall my discussion of US bootlegger, Aekon, & his fantastic FM radio show called The FlipSide, on KROCK Cleveland. His Every Saturday show at 11pm plays guitar-bearing rock on rock mashups like Foo Fighters vs Metallica. Essential stuff that gives all your faves a DJ twist into strange, but familiar territory. In addition to the amazing bootlegs tracks by Legion of Doom, Lock3Down, & Synchronoize, a big feature of The FlipSide are the original mashups by Aekon himself. Using bands like Rage Against The Machine & Atreyu, he fills a necessary niche for more rock-oriented mashups.




Now comes a large marker along the road of rock mashups & bootleg collections with Aekon's All-original full-length mashup album "New (Again)". 8 solid tracks manipulated into shapes that please by one of the freshest talents in the mashup game. Listeners of Global DJ Network Radio (www.globaldjnetwork.com/) were treated to two exclusive world premieres of "New (Again)"over the online airwaves this past Monday. Both broadcasts were given directly by AeKon himself, & speak mightily at the potential entertainment value of future GDJN episodes of AeKon's ReverbNation. Check GDJN's radio schedule for Aekon's live broadcasts, & more rare bootleg tunes, like you don't hear on commercial FM.




When you hear "New (Again)", you'll find a new type of pairing like his "Cobra Starship vs Paramore" track, or the full-on intensity Mushroomhead vs "Yung Joc". Here's the words of the man himself -


    "I'm a Mashup Producer, Radio DJ, and host of the mashup radio show, The FlipSide. You can catch it every Saturday night at 11p (eastern time) on 92.3 K-Rock (in Cleveland) or streaming live HERE (http://player.cbsradio.com/player/CBSRadio_Player.html?id=113&onestat=wkrk-fm) .



    My real name is Verlane. Become a fan or even join the street team, because my new album drops very soon. It's primarily Rock/Alternative mashups and includes: 30 Seconds to Mars, Mushroomhead, Paramore, Atreyu, and Blaqk Audio to name a few. Listen to the official single "Fantasy Business" right now."





Sound advice that, unless you prefer waltzes. Go to his site today for your copy of his "New (Again)". As GDJN says "Music You Know, But Have Never Heard!".

Mix Of The Week - To keep things interesting, I present to you the new episode of my hosted podcast. Go to djuseo8.podomatic.com/ & play or download my "All-Comp Podcast". It's an hour & 15 minutes of the best tracks from the latest Mashup Compilations. Just like hearing me introduce 4 mini-mixes, plus you get some amusing extras. This show contains the exquisitely-filthy BudTheWeiser exclusive "Cartman's Star 69". An outake version of his track from the IT IS TO LAFF humorous bootleg comp, it is "Not Safe For Work", so save this one home! If you like the show, sign up for future shows in iTunes. Man will live you better. lol.



Mashup Tip: There are 52 keys on a piano, & 54 ways to leave your lover, but there are only 4 mashup arrangements.

Trivia Question Of The Day

Who was Frederick Mellinger?

   A:    Created Mighty Mouse
   B:    Broadway Choreographer
   C:    Developed Scabies Vaccine
   D:    Designed Lingerie
   E:    Secretary of State in Eisenhower Administration

Trivia Question from Yesterday

Gore Vidal shared a stepfather with ?

   A:    Jane Fonda
   B:    Angelica Huston
   C:    Barbara Hutton
  D:    Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis
   E:    Gloria Vanderbilt                 Source

Gore Vidal shared a stepfather with the late Jacqueline Kennedy when his mother, Nina, married Jackie's stepfather, Hugh Auchincloss.





DanD was first, and correct, observing:
   The super-effete and the super-rich ... oh-so gay. Ever get the idea that "libural" (and occasionally successful) Presidential candidates are all related, and that Republican wannabes keep trying to crash that superstar-studded party? "Well, if'n you won't let me in then, goddammit, I'll just assassinate you!"
  It's all just one big family feud.
  The answer is (D) JBK Onassis.




Charlie replied:
   This one does seem plausible.
  D: Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis




bebo responded:
   D: Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.



Tony In Philly answered:
   D: Jacqueline Kennedy Onasis



Dave answered:
   Jacqueline (Bouvier) Kennedy Onassis. Why would you care?



Sally said:
   Gore Vidal shared a stepfather with Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis (D). Gore's mother, Nina, married Hugh Auchincloss. They had two children together, Thomas Gore Auchincloss, and Nina Gore Auchincloss Steers Straight. (Straight is her married name, not her sexual orientation BTW.) As I stated yesterday, he is really an interesting character!
  C ya in a couple,
  PS I will be MIA from BCE for the next two weeks or so. Actually, Marty it's your fault. When you featured trivia questions about the hot peppers, I started fixating on Mexican food from back home (Denver). Although I was born and raised in NY, I spent 33 years in Colorado and it was there that I was introduced to the burrito, tortillas chips with Picante sauce, Quesadillas, Nachos, corn tamales, and chili rellenos. Being diabetic, I will have to pace my eating, and that is why I need at least 2-weeks!
  PPS DannyD please stay out of Heston's coffin while I'm gone - because I'm sure he would have it rigged to blow up if the lid is lifted. He was an absolute gun nut! (If you saw the movie, "Bowling for Columbine" by Michael Moore - and the interview he did with Heston in the film, you will know to what I am referring...) And, we would miss you too!
  Anyone hear from Vic? I am worried about him freezing to death in his cold, dark, computerless trailer in the boondocks of Alaska - you know??




socdan replied:
   OOOH OOOH. I know this one. I don't know who the stepfather was, but GV was a stepsib (sort of once removed) to Jackie KO. One of those tidbits one recalls for no good reason... kinda like the words to Brother Flower...



Sharon who claims to be full of useless information (and too much education) responded:
   Gore Vidal shared a stepfather with Jacqueline Lee Bouvier, Hugh Auchincloss. Gore Vidal is a national treasure who has known everybody who's anybody in America, it seems.
  Tutto bene,
  P.S. Is that supposed to be an inside joke that Marge Simpson's maiden name is Bouvier?




Joe S ("You have to have been a Republican to know how good it is to be a Democrat."  ~ Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis) answered:
   The answer is......tadaaa.... D: Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. I've missed a few trivia quizzes because I've been moving. I hate missing them, I think I'm addicted.



And, pgw replied:
   Jackie-O
  That Gore Vidal sure got around. Lucky bastard...




And, Mike in Des Moines answered:
   The answer is D: Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.
  I did not know that Joanne Woodward was engaged to Gore Vidal - I must not have read Palimpsest carefully enough. Oh well. At least I didn't embarrass myself with that one.

Good old Itchy & Scratchy. Should I bring them back?
Uploaded the prayer wheel a couple of years ago, but never got around to putting the code on the page, then forgot it was there.
'Found' it a few weeks ago, about the time Tibet started getting hot & decided it was a good time to add it. Figured it couldn't hurt.

Talks With Brown About Darfur

George Clooney

George Clooney took a break from promoting his latest film Tuesday to meet with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, as he continued pressing governments to speak out about China's foreign policy in Sudan.

The two met as the Olympic torch arrived in San Francisco for the only North American stop in the Beijing Olympic torch relay, which has been dogged by human rights protesters in London, Paris and Istanbul.

The protests have been fueled by anger over China's human rights record, its grip on Tibet and China's support for Sudan despite years of bloodshed in the country's western Darfur region.

"I think the protests are good. They've been warned for a while that there were going to be some protests," Clooney told reporters on the red carpet for the British premiere of his new film, "Leatherheads."

Promotes Education For Iraqi Kids

Angelina Jolie

Actress and human rights activist Angelina Jolie urged the international community on Tuesday to make educating Iraqi children a greater priority.

"The best way to heal children of conflict from trauma is to have them focus on their future," Jolie told the Council on Foreign Relations.

Jolie, who visited Iraq in August, and other humanitarian workers discussed how to help displaced Iraqi children regain some sense of normalcy and stability through education.

The Hollywood actress has visited more than 20 humanitarian hot spots, including Iraq and Sudan's Darfur region, since becoming a good will U.N. ambassador in 2001.

Yanked From Venezuelan TV

'The Simpsons'

D'oh! A Venezuelan TV channel has yanked "The Simpsons" off the air because it may be inappropriate for children. Taking its place: "Baywatch Hawaii."

Televen TV station spokeswoman Elba Guillen said Monday that the decision to hand over the daily 11 a.m. time slot came after the National Telecommunications Commission received complaints from viewers.

The regulatory agency didn't specify which elements of the program were deemed offensive, but said showing the animated cartoon series at that hour could violate national regulations prohibiting "messages that go against the whole education of boys, girls and adolescents."

Pulls Ad

Absolut Vodka

The distillers of Sweden's Absolut vodka have withdrawn an advertisement run in Mexico that angered many U.S. citizens by idealizing an early 19th century map showing chunks of the United States as Mexican.

The billboard ad has the slogan "In an Absolut World" slapped over a pre-1848 map showing California, Arizona and other U.S. states as Mexican territory. Those states were carved out of what had been Mexican lands until that year.

Although it was not shown in the United States, U.S. media outlets picked up on the ad, and after a barrage of complaints, Absolut's maker said on Sunday the ad campaign would cease.

Popsicle-Stick Ship Sets Sail

Robert McDonald

A Viking ship made from ice-cream sticks set sail for England from the Netherlands on Tuesday.

The 15-metre (50-foot) long ship, named after the Norse god Thor, is made from 15 million recycled ice-cream sticks glued together by U.S.-born stuntman Robert McDonald, his son and more than 5,000 children.

Badly injured as a child in a gas explosion that killed the rest of his family, he has loaded his ship with cuddly toys and plans to reach London and visit children in hospitals.

He and his crew hope to cross the Atlantic later on the ancient Viking route to North America via Iceland and Greenland.

Sues Prop Designer

George Lucas

Lawyers for George Lucas' Lucasfilm Ltd. and a British prop designer faced off in London's High Court Tuesday over rights to the molded white Stormtrooper uniforms from the "Star Wars" films.

Lucasfilm claims violation of copyright and trademarks by prop designer Andrew Ainsworth, who sculpted the Stormtrooper helmets for the first "Star Wars" movie in 1977. London-based Ainsworth sells replicas of the helmets and armor, which he says are made from the original molds, on his Web site.

Lucasfilm won a $20 million judgment against Ainsworth in a California court in 2006, and is seeking to have it enforced in Britain.

Ainsworth is countersuing, claiming the copyright rests with him and seeking a share of merchandising revenue from the six "Star Wars" films, which his lawyers estimate at $24 billion.

Good Help Is So Hard To Find

Rob Lowe

Actor Rob Lowe and his wife have sued two former nannies and an ex-chef, claiming they violated confidentiality agreements and in one case lied about having sex with the star of television show "Brothers and Sisters."

The lawsuits were filed on Monday, the same day Lowe said on the Huffington Post Web site that one of his ex-nannies was demanding $1.5 million or she would "accuse us of a vicious laundry list of false terribles."

In his blog post, the 44-year-old actor said the former nanny abruptly left the Lowe family in February after seven years of employment and was now making "false claims of harassment" for financial gain.

In the breach of contract and defamation suit, which seeks unspecified damages, they also claim Gibson falsely portrayed Lowe's wife, Sheryl, as an overly demanding and abusive employer and "violated their personal space for her own sexual trysts."

Ex-Cop Testifies

Anthony Pellicano

A former Beverly Hills police officer testified Tuesday that indicted private investigator Anthony Pellicano paid him about $10,000 to illegally access criminal databases.

Craig Stevens estimated that Pellicano asked him for police reports, criminal histories and driving records as many as 100 times after they met in the early 1990s through their daughters.

Stevens said he didn't know how Pellicano used the information from the databases.

He is awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty to two counts of wire fraud and four counts of unauthorized access of protected computers to commit fraud. He now works as a grocery clerk.

Stalker Priest Pleads Guilty

Conan O'Brien

The Roman Catholic priest accused of stalking NBC talk-show host Conan O'Brien has pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct.

The Rev. David Ajemian admitted to the offense - sending letters and DVDs to O'Brien's home and business.

Ajemian was arrested in New York City last year while trying to enter a taping of O'Brien's show, despite being warned to stay away by NBC security personnel.

Ajemian and O'Brien attended Harvard University at the same time, but it's unclear whether the two crossed paths there.

British supermodel Naomi Campbell has been banned from flying with British Airways following her arrest at a London airport last week on suspicion of assaulting a police officer, media reports said Tuesday.

The Daily Mirror said British Airways has banned Campbell from flying with them again after the incident.

The 37-year-old Londoner, who was bailed Friday after her arrest, was reported by fellow passengers to have become aggressive and abusive to staff and to have then assaulted a police officer aboard the LA-bound aircraft, which had not taken off.

Kin Seek To Move Remains

Mark Rothko

The children of artist Mark Rothko are asking a New York state judge to approve moving their father's remains from a small cemetery on eastern Long Island to a Jewish cemetery in Westchester County.

The East Marion Cemetery Association voted over a year ago to allow the exhumation, but also wants a court order permitting the removal of the remains.

The children also want to exhume the body of their mother, Mary Alice, from a cemetery in Cleveland, and rebury her remains with Rothko in Kensico Cemetery in Valhalla, N.Y.

Ancient Tools Unearthed

Australia

Tools dating back at least 35,000 years have been unearthed in a rock shelter in Australia's remote northwest, making it one of the oldest archaeological finds in that part of the country, archaeologists said Monday.

The tools include a piece of flint the size of a small cell phone and hundreds of tiny sharp stones that were used as knives. One local Aboriginal elder saw it as vindication of what his people have said all along - that they have inhabited this land for tens of thousands of years.

The tools, along with seeds, bark and other plant material, were found nearly 6 1/2 feet beneath the floor of the shelter - a slight crevice in the hillside protected by an overhang of rock - on the edges of an iron ore mine site about 590 miles northeast of Perth, the capital of Western Australia.

Saini Sunpura, India

Lali

A baby with two faces was born in a northern Indian village, where she is doing well and is being worshipped as the reincarnation of a Hindu goddess, her father said Tuesday.

The baby, Lali, apparently has an extremely rare condition known as craniofacial duplication, where a single head has two faces. Except for her ears, all of Lali's facial features are duplicated - she has two noses, two pairs of lips and two pairs of eyes.

Lali has caused a sensation in the dusty village of Saini Sunpura, 25 miles east of New Delhi. When she left the hospital, eight hours after a normal delivery on March 11, she was swarmed by villagers, said Sabir Ali, the director of Saifi Hospital.

Rural India is deeply superstitious and the little girl is being hailed as a return of the Hindu goddess of valor, Durga, a fiery deity traditionally depicted with three eyes and many arms.

Grave-Robbing In The USA

Fort Craig

Working in secret, federal archaeologists have dug up the remains of dozens of soldiers and children near a Civil War-era fort after an informant tipped them off about widespread grave-looting.

The exhumations, conducted from August to October, removed 67 skeletons from the parched desert soil around Fort Craig - 39 men, two women and 26 infants and children, according to two federal archaeologists who helped with the dig.

They also found scores of empty graves and determined 20 had been looted.

The investigation began with a tip about an amateur historian who had displayed the mummified remains of a black soldier, draped in a Civil War-era uniform, in his house.
