M Is FOR MASHUP - April 14th, 2010
Wanna Hear Your Favorite Artists Wrecked?
By DJ Useo & Readers
When it comes to making a mashup, I don't often cater to current tastes. Mainly, I mix what interests me in the moment. I don't give much consideration to what will draw more listeners. Now that THAT is said, recently, I deliberately used some newer artists when I posted 'Poker Break' (Lady Gaga vs The Raveonettes). It sure seems to have paid off as it is right at the top of tracks people are accessing of mine. I heard from a couple top mixers that the gaga/raveonettes track is out of tune & out of time even, but luckily the listeners are with me on this one. A few tracks before that one I released 'Your Silent Bleeding Heart' (Leona Lewis vs New Order) with the thought in mind that people would be likely to know both source tracks. It had the same reaction as the gaga/raveonettes one, with a couple saying it was oot & ook (out of time & out of tune) yet it also staked out a spot among my more popular tracks. Personally, I think I got them just right.
Now it's not easy to keep track of the total number of listens since I use many different hosts. You can find my mixes on divshare, mediafire, soundcloud & fairtilizer, & I used to have direct hosting of my own. In addition I found there's several 'feeds' that make a point of offering every mix I post. I don't know who does those feeds & I don't mind a bit as it only makes my audience all the bigger. There's no way for me to discern the feed stats though. All I know is that even my direct hosted track numbers have been reset a few times by the host, so I can't offer you accurate numbers. One thing I know for sure is I am spending about as much as I want to right now to give y'all free listens. I clearly got spoiled on getting free hosting from my work as a mashup forum admin. I know I'm personally spoiled by getting free downloads from all the other mashers.
In most cases it appears the more well-known the source artists I use, the better the track does. Once a few years back I got an idea to mash the muppets since I figgered most people knew of them. I then put the singing of the Swedish chef from the Muppets to the musical backing of the Beatles (who I understand are well-known.lol). 'Flying Swedish Chef' (Muppets vs Beatles) still pulls in good numbers to this day & is featured on my new '
Frikkenfrack 2:DJ Useo's Strangest Boots' collection.
( groovytimewithdjuseo.blogspot.com/2010/03/frikkenfrack-2dj-useos-strangest-boots.html )
But mainly,I don't pay much attention to numbers, or mixing with current artists. Looking at the file of tracks I'm currently mixing but are unreleased shows a wide stylistic variety that spans many decades. Among the new track artists I'm using you'll find Frank Zappa, LMFAO, Sean Paul, The Stone Roses, Postal Service & even the Hillbilly Stringpickers. It's clear I mix what I like & that's about all.
Let's take a look at the stats for just recent posts to compare how people reacted to what & who I mixed. Here's 10 of my more popular tracks in the order of how well they were received.-
01 - Tax Machine (The Beatles vs Pink Floyd)
02 - Bop It Up (Elvis Costello vs The Ramones vs The Beatles vs Nirvana)
03 - Smack My Animals Up (Nickelback vs Prodigy)
04 - Your Silent Bleeding Heart (Leona Lewis vs New Order)
05 - Man Its So Disco In Here (They Might Be Giants vs Rinkadink)
06 - Michelle Rigby (Beatles vs Beatles)
07 - Too Many Soldiers (Paul McCartney vs John Lennon)
08 - Big Mess Something (The Beatles vs Devo)
09 - Poker Break (Lady Gaga vs The Raveonettes)
10 - Autopilot Computer Games (Miss Kittin vs Yellow Magic Orchestra)
It's clear that people want to hear stuff mashed that they know first, & then there's a smaller but still substantial audience that will listen to most any artists mashed as long as it's mixed well.
Here's a quick 5 of my tracks that only have pulled in small numbers.
01 - Dont Spill My Indo Jack (Wall Of Voodoo vs Steve Gerard vs Jon Kennedy)
02 - Creepy Booty (Dana Swanson And Nick Ingkatanuwat vs Boltan vs Mightyfools)
03 - When I Grow Up And Keep It Real (Michelle Shocked vs HiJack)
04 - Dominator And Submission (Human Resource vs Blue Oyster Cult)
05 - Binary Ballad (The Beatles vs Rumble Pack)
Now some of the variation in listener numbers might involve where I post the tracks, but also factored into it is who I mixed. I can safely say that all the tracks listed in both lists above have received good comments from the general audience & from fellow mashers as well.
Now for a quick look at some top tracks by well-known bootleggers. Notice the predominance of newer artists used.-
01 - Divide & Kreate -The Final Love (Europe vs Haddaway)
02 - DJ Y alias JY - King Of The Soulstorm (Patrice vs Manu Chao)
03 - ToToM - Lady Gaga's Nightmare (MGMT vs Lady Gaga)
04 - Amoraboy - I Can't Dance On Memories (David Guetta feat. Kid Cudi vs Genesis vs Enur)
05 - dj BC - This Is Radio Biz (Biz Markie vs The Clash)
These are all red-hot tracks being heard by a substantial number of y'all. Clearly, I could probably do better as a bootlegger if I adhered to artists that were more well-known. But in the words of Freddie Mercury, "Don't stop me, I'm having a good time".
Mix Of The Week
'72 mix2' is a sequel to the group mix that rocked the bootleg world last year. It has numerous 3-minute sections by great mixers like Scott Cairo, CJR, DJ JP aka cg74, Totom, Nosbic, EternalKhaos, Pom Deter, GaraGara, Oki, Lee Spoons, Ian Fondue, Dylan Vasey, Lopez, Tizwarz, BKB aka CMP, Kai, Eddie Pedalo, DJ Useo, & Defunkto. It's very organic & among the best bootlegging you'll hear. Just about every major style is present in this one. The final version is only hours away, so I posted this here even though there's no link yet. Get ready to savour, though, & I'll send Marty here at Bartcop E the final link when I get it.
Mashup Tip : Don't mash in the subway, darling.
Latest Useo Mix
'Kamikaze Numbers' (The Dead Sexy Inc vs Acid Girls) uses two artists that recently appeared at SXSW in Austin, Texas. If you like either act, you'll thrill to this one.

Preaches Hope In Paris 'Burbs
Samuel Jackson
US film star Samuel L. Jackson met young people in a poor Paris suburb Tuesday, spotlighting deprived districts that mainstream French cinema, like its politicians, is accused of neglecting.
Jackson broke off his holidays along with his wife Latanya Richardson to visit Bondy, which was among many suburban districts or "banlieues" hit in 2005 by violent protests sparked by tensions between police and youths.
Jackson, 61, who grew up in the southern state of Tennessee at the time of racial segregation, drew parallels with the tensions that smoulder today in France's deprived immigrant districts, crippled by unemployment.
His visit was set up by the US ambassador to France, Charles Rivkin, a former entertainment industry executive who has run various cultural projects to reach out to the banlieues since his appointment by Obama last year.

Calls On Congress For Arts Funds
Kyle MacLachlan
"Desperate Housewives" actor Kyle MacLachlan, who plays Orson Hodge on the series, urged lawmakers Tuesday to increase arts funding, saying he got his start performing in community theaters that received federal grants.
MacLachlan joined hundreds of arts advocates on Capitol Hill to press Congress for increased funding for the National Endowment for the Arts, even as federal deficits could trigger budget cuts.
State, local and private support for the arts declined by about $1 billion last year because of the weak economy, according to the group Americans for the Arts. Some museums and arts groups have shut down permanently.
MacLachlan said his break into film and TV, including his Golden Globe Award-winning work on the series "Twin Peaks," came after mentors from theaters in Yakima, Wash., and elsewhere recommended his work. Many of them still depend on NEA grants to mount productions, he said.

"Category of One"
CNN
CNN says it's in a "category of one" among television news networks delivering non-biased news.
Meeting with advertisers Tuesday during the midst of a ratings free-fall on its flagship network, CNN's leadership said it is staying the course in emphasizing its journalism.
The reassurance may be necessary. The Nielsen Co. says CNN's weekday, prime time viewership was down 42 percent the first three months of the year from 2009.
CNN U.S. President Jon Klein said that based on a format of credible, nonpartisan news, CNN is "alone in a category of one."

Relaunches Career
Jennifer Knapp
A rising star on the Christian music scene is returning to the public eye with a new identity after a mysterious seven-year absence spent mostly on the other side of the world.
Jennifer Knapp is not only coming out with a new album, she is also "coming out," a term the Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter considers "very bizarre" as she nervously relaunches her career.
The 36-year-old Kansas native, who dated men during her college days, is braced for a backlash from religious fans who faithfully shot down whispered rumors about her sexuality over the years. On the other hand, she said in a recent interview with Reuters, "I'm definitely getting a lot more friendly winks from the girls (at her concerts) than I have in the past!"
No other singer of Knapp's renown in the Christian music genre is openly gay. In the past, the industry looked dimly on those who deviated from the straight and narrow. Radio stations and retailers quickly dropped Sandi Patty and Michael English after they admitted to (separate) extra-marital affairs during the 1990s. Amy Grant was also blacklisted when she went through a divorce later that decade. All have since been forgiven to varying degrees.

Veteran R&B diva Patti LaBelle is getting an honorary degree from Temple University in her hometown of Philadelphia.
The university will present LaBelle with the doctorate in humane letters at its May 13 commencement ceremony.
LaBelle's singing career has spanned more than four decades and includes several hit records and two Grammy Awards. She has also written four books, two of which are cookbooks.
LaBelle served as a spokeswoman for the American Diabetes Association after being diagnosed with the condition. Two years ago, she partnered with Temple to raise awareness about diabetes.

Interactive Telenovela
America Ferrera
"Ugly Betty" will soon be over for its star, America Ferrera, but she's got a new project in the works from behind the scenes.
Ferrera will serve as executive producer of "Pedro & Maria," a multicultural, interactive telenovela in development for MTV television and various Web platforms. The project was announced Monday by MTV and Electus, the multimedia studio created by the prolific producer and former NBC executive Ben Silverman.
"Pedro & Maria" is billed as a bilingual, modern-day version of "Romeo & Juliet" that will give its audience the ability to vote on the direction the characters and story lines take.
Proctor & Gamble Co., which makes everything from shaving cream to batteries, will co-produce the project, making commercials with "Pedro & Maria" touches inside them.

HBO Renews After First Episode
"Treme"
In a leap of faith, HBO has renewed its new drama "Treme" after a single episode.
The second-season pickup of the show from "The Wire" team David Simon and Eric Overmeyer comes after the first-season premiere Sunday night. Across two airings, the show drew a fairly modest 1.4 million viewers.
"Treme," which chronicles life in New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, will resume production this fall. Season 2 will debut next spring -- about the time another project, "Game of Thrones," will be ready to hit the air.

It's just the network's latest step away from its sci-fi roots, a transition that began in earnest last year with its rebranding to Syfy from the Sci Fi Channel. "Smackdown," currently on MyNetworkTV, averages about 3.4 million viewers a week and scores especially well among men 18-34.
Syfy's longtime Friday night drama block will move to Tuesday nights.

1913 Film Found In NH Barn
"When Lincoln Paid"
In a tale celebrating the romance of movies, a contractor cleaning out an old New Hampshire barn destined for demolition found seven reels of nitrate film inside, including the only known copy of a 1913 silent film about Abraham Lincoln.
"When Lincoln Paid," a 30-minute film about the mother of a dead Union solider asking Lincoln to pardon a Confederate soldier whom she had initially turned in, stars the brother of John Ford, director of "The Grapes of Wrath," "The Quiet Man," and other classics.
"I was up in the attic space, and shoved away over in a corner was the film and a silent movie projector, as well," Peter Massie, a movie buff, said of his discovery in the western New Hampshire town of Nelson. "I thought it was really cool."
After working with the George Eastman House film preservation museum in Rochester, N.Y., the college determined that the film, directed by and starring Francis Ford, did not exist in film archives. In fact, it was one of eight silent films starring Ford as Lincoln; there are no known surviving copies of the others.

Hospital News
Bret Michaels
Bret Michaels is recovering from an emergency appendectomy at a Texas hospital.
The 47-year-old rocker's Web site says Michaels was urged to go to the hospital as he was preparing to take the stage in San Antonio on Sunday night.
He had been having severe stomach pains all day "and what was assumed to be a severe case of the flu."
The statement says Michaels had emergency surgery early Monday and is now "doing well and beginning the recovery process."

Compassionate Conservative
Mike Huckabee
Mike Huckabee, a possible Republican presidential candidate in 2012, says the effort to allow gays and lesbians to marry is comparable to legalizing incest, polygamy and drug use.
Huckabee also told college journalists last week that gay couples should not be permitted to adopt. "Children are not puppies," he said.
Huckabee visited The College of New Jersey in Ewing, N.J., last Wednesday to speak to the Student Government Association. He also was interviewed by a campus news magazine, The Perspective, which published an article on Friday.
Huckabee told the interviewer that not every group's interests deserve to be accommodated, if their lifestyle is outside of what he called "the ideal."

Father Wages Court Battle Against Fred Phelps
Albert Snyder
Some nights Albert Snyder wakes up at 3 a.m. Other nights he doesn't sleep at all, tormented by thoughts of the hateful signs carried by a fundamentalist church outside his Marine son's funeral.
Hundreds of grieving families have been targeted by the Westboro Baptist Church, which believes military deaths are the work of a wrathful God who punishes the United States for tolerating homosexuality.
Most mourners try to ignore the taunts. But Snyder couldn't let it go. He became the first to sue the church to halt the demonstrations, and he's pursued the group farther than anyone else.
Now, more than four years after his son died in a Humvee accident in Iraq, Snyder's legal battle is headed to the Supreme Court. And his tireless efforts have drawn support from across the country, including a wave of donations after he was ordered to pay the church's court costs - a $16,500 judgment that the congregation plans to use for more protests.

Oregon Jury Finds Negligence
Boy Scouts
Jurors on Tuesday found the Boy Scouts of America negligent and awarded $1.4 million to a former Portland man who was abused by an assistant Scoutmaster in the early 1980s, following a three-week trial in which secret Scout "perversion files" were used as evidence.
The jury also decided the Irving, Texas-based Scouts organization was liable for punitive damages that will be decided in a separate phase of the trial. That would be in addition to the $1.4 million.
Lawyers for Kerry Lewis, 38, the victim who filed the lawsuit, argued the Boy Scouts organization was reckless for allowing former assistant Scoutmaster Timur Dykes to continue to associate with the victim's Scout troop after Dykes acknowledged to a bishop for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints early in 1983 that he had molested 17 Boy Scouts.
The church settled its portion of the Portland case before trial, but the jury ordered it to pay 25 percent of the $1.4 million in noneconomic damages, or $350,000. The Boy Scouts of America must pay 60 percent, or $840,000, while its Cascade Pacific Council must pay 15 percent, or $210,000.

Labor Hearing
Gosselin Relatives
Relatives of Kate Gosselin are expected to testify at a Pennsylvania legislative hearing on child labor laws.
Republican state Rep. Thomas Murt wants to prevent exploitation of children who appear in movies and reality shows like "Jon & Kate Plus 8."
State labor officials investigated the production for possible violations of child labor laws but released no findings. TLC denied wrongdoing.
Gosselin's brother Kevin Kreider and his wife, Jodi, will testify Wednesday in Horsham. Other witnesses include attorney Gloria Allred and former child actor Paul Petersen of "The Donna Reed Show."

Warrants Issued, Again
Randy Quaid
Randy Quaid and his wife are once again wanted by authorities.
The couple failed to show up for a court appearance in Santa Barbara on Monday on charges they defrauded an innkeeper. Senior Deputy District Attorney Lee Carter says they also didn't show up when their case was again called on Tuesday.
Arrest warrants have been repeatedly sought and later quashed for the Quaids, who were charged last year with failing to pay a $10,000 hotel bill.
They pleaded not guilty in December and were released on $40,000 bail. Carter says that bail has now been forfeited.

Lawsuit Filed
Steven Seagal
Action movie actor Steven Seagal is being sued by a former assistant who has accused the reality television star of sexual harassment, court papers filed in Los Angeles showed Tuesday.
Seagal, 58, the star of action movies including "Exit Wounds," is the subject of a one million dollar lawsuit filed by lawyers for 23-year-old Kayden Nguyen, who claims she was treated as a "sex toy" by the actor.
Nguyen's suit alleges she was hired by Seagal as an "executive assistant" after answering a job advertisement placed on Craigslist in February. According to the suit, Nguyen "believed that she had found the dream job of a lifetime."
The suit states Nguyen later was flown to rural Louisiana to live in Seagal's house, where the actor fondled her. She says she later escaped from the home with the help of a taxi driver.

Scoffs At Dawkins
Vatican't
The Vatican said on Tuesday Pope Benedict was willing to meet more sexual abuse victims but not under media pressure and scoffed at calls for the pope to be arrested when he visits Britain in September.
A lawyer for British author and atheist campaigner Richard Dawkins said in London at the weekend he would try to have Pope Benedict arrested to face questions over accusations the Church covered up cases of sexual abuse of children by priests.
Asked about this at a briefing on the pope's trip to Malta this weekend, Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi scoffed.
"This is a bizarre idea to say the least. It looks like the intent is to make a public opinion splash. I think they should look for something more serious and concrete before we can respond to it," he said.

FBI File
William Safire
Details from William Safire's FBI file show the conservative columnist was not quite a B student in college before dropping out and beginning a career that would take him to the White House and earn him a Pulitzer Prize.
The FBI this month released nearly 350 pages of documents related to Safire, who died in September at the age of 79. The documents became public after Safire's death and date from 1965 to 1994. The majority are biographical, including more than 100 pages from a background investigation conducted when he became a speech writer for President Richard Nixon in 1969.
Another 175 pages detail wiretapping ordered by the Nixon administration, including the tapping of Safire's phone. Safire later learned about the tapping and had spoken about it.

Diet Can Sharply Cut Risk
Alzheimers
A diet rich in olive oil, nuts, fish, poultry and certain fruits and vegetables may have a powerful effect at staving off Alzheimer's disease, researchers reported on Monday.
People who ate nutrients specifically selected for brain health had a 40 percent lower risk of developing Alzheimer's disease compared with others, Yian Gu, an Alzheimer's disease researcher at Columbia University in New York and colleagues found.
While other studies have looked at individual nutrients, Gu's team studied groups of foods high in nutrients that have been shown to be associated with Alzheimer's disease risk.
Some, such as saturated fatty acids in red meat and butter, need to be avoided. Others, such as omega-3 fatty acids, omega-6 fatty acids, vitamin E, vitamin B12 and folate, benefit the brain.
