M Is FOR MASHUP - May 9th 2007

Shake Your Summer Booty!

By DJ Useo

I have had the huge pleasure in recent weeks of coordinating over 25 bootleggers in producing the first-ever bootleg boxset. It's 40 tracks including a disc-length megamix of the mashup tunes that will light up your long, hot summer. After viewing some retro album covers I was sure I wanted to assemble a boot project around the anti-winter theme featuring a bikini-clad female archetype on the cover to maintain the nostalgic attraction of summer's past.

SummerBooty-Volume1


After writing to 50 international bootleggers I got acceptances from 29 & we started toward the deadline. I now had wonderful, inventive veteran mixers like Miss Frenchie, Voicedude, Mr.Brightside, & Hahnstudios involved. Rising audio craftsmen such as Stab, Copycat, DJ JohnnyRed, & DJ Morgoth delivered cuts that kept my head turning. I witnessed the up & coming talents of Eamezey, Aekon, Professor Quillam & Virtual DJ startle me by stepping up with solid winners. I heard from Mashup-Industries, the site that produces those wonderful, addictive boots & was pleased to obtain the participation of Krazyben & DJ Clive$ter. Soon, it became apparent that I required more than the two discs I had planned.

SummerBooty-Volume2


Right about this time the cover pitches came flying fast & plentiful. Undead Sergio, a skilled image maker submitted an incredible image of some beach decks. DJ FiveFive kicked in with some actual boo-tays on a beach. Then the prolific Alpha1999 kept them coming at me until I lost count! Wonderful bikini photos, a treasure chest on a beach, a selection of tasteful nudes, & even 'warning-nude beach' covers. I'm sure at one point there were even some male bathing suit & nude male covers. DJ Vieux Carre from the states submitted so many incredible art photo covers that I was stunned for 20 minutes. Even DJ Toss from the UK made some splendid bikini ladies promo covers that appeared before the release date as 'teasers'. They'll all be posted in one place in due course, but the cover slots went to Undead Sergio-volume 1, DJ FiveFive-volume 2, Alpha1999-volume 3 & the mix cover from DJ Vieux Carre.

SummerBooty-Volume3


The release occurred May 7th & the reception has been heartwarming. Tracks like "Summer Season Rockit" (The Zombies vs Underdog Project vs Herbie Hancock) by Supakon, "Summerjam On The Motorway" (DJ Shadow vs Underdog Project) by DJ Fac / Swisscheese, & "Change Your Bad Breath" (Police vs 2Pac vs Aretha Franklin) by DJ M.i.F ensure this set will bring you back. Each volume features a mashup/minimix to kick off the disc right. DJ Petrushka took all 3 volumes & after a fierce mixing emerged with one, disc-long megamix. Henri from France wrote to say "The mix is one hot listen. Those tracks are perfect for clubbing." I'm inclined to agree. lol



The release is in conjunction with beat-boot-ique.co.uk/portal.php & is in their series of themed releases, such as the recent Stephen Marley: The Remix Album & the still-popular Mother's Day Compilation. Extra hosting has been employed to ensure the availability of access needed. Summerbooty will take you right to the actual page. I'd write more, but I'm off to play the collection again.



Mix of the Week - I know I featured him in a recent article, but UK mixer, Bong has his long-anticipated team-up mix with Beatonic out & it's a must-not-miss. Big Joints Vol.1 (1:17:27) has such energy & momentum, you will dance! Found here - b00mb0x.org/wordpress/category/bong/

MPEACHW Plate

Man, this doesn't happen very often in this state! It has alot to do, I'm sure, with the bad publicity they were getting both in and outside the state. Thanks, Marty, for running the story a few days back, helping to publicize the ridiculous event!


MPEACH plate won't be recalled by DMV

Heather Morijah will get to keep her "MPEACHW" license plates after all.

State officials reversed their position on Monday, rescinding a recall notice of Morijah's personalized license plates, which encourage the impeachment of President Bush. The state Division of Motor Vehicles sent Morijah a letter last month saying the plates were being recalled because someone had complained about the message.    Rapid City Journal

Alan S. Blinder: Free Trade's Great, but Offshoring Rattles Me (washingtonpost.com)
I'm a free trader down to my toes. Always have been. Yet lately, I'm being treated as a heretic by many of my fellow economists. Why? Because I have stuck my neck out and predicted that the offshoring of service jobs from rich countries such as the United States to poor countries such as India may pose major problems for tens of millions of American workers over the coming decades. In fact, I think offshoring may be the biggest political issue in economics for a generation.


Tim Dowling: Humiliation - the latest weapon in America's war on crime (guardian.co.uk)
Going public with punishment is a way of demonstrating that something - however useless or counterproductive - is being done. Behind the thief sign order there is clearly a judge who wants to see his name in the paper.


Jim Hightower: MORE CORPORATE WAR AGAINST WORKERS (jimhightower.com)
The Chicken Littles are crying that if all new NAFTA-style trade deals are required to include protections for labor in all the countries involved - well, goodness gracious, the sky will fall! What has them so panicky is a proposal by congressional Democrats to rein-in the labor abuses that have come with these corporate-written trade deals. Are the Democrats suggesting radical protections that would put an impossible burden on global business? Judge for yourself: One provision would ban the use of child labor. Another bans slave labor. A third says that workers would have the right to form unions.

David Sirota: Econ 101: How Free Traders Distort "Comparative Advantage" (huffingtonpost.com)

I recently received a letter from the graduate assistant director at Ohio University's Ping Recreation Center. In part, the letter states, "The Ohio University Waterski Club will be traveling to Dale Hollow to participate in spring training. The team will leave Tuesday, May 8, 2007 and return to Athens on Sunday May 13, 2007." Interesting. This club team is going to take a week off in the middle of the quarter to go on a waterskiing vacation. OU is already known as the Party School and as the Plagiarism School. Now we may as well be known as the Vacation School.

Hi. I saw that you were having problems. One of the pictures doesn't work-the Poiret gown.

TTFN,

"What doesn't have credibility today is the truth." -- Bill Moyers, The Daily Show 6/22/05


Thanks, Baron Dave!
The pic of the Poiret gown (& the archiving of yesterday's page) were finally uploaded around 7:30am, just after the kid left for school.
Started uploading around 10:30 last night, and called it a day a bit after 3:30am.
Normally, it takes 5-7 minutes per item uploaded, but last night it closer to 20 minutes.
The FTP timed out after each item, and wouldn't reopen, so I had to shut it down completely and then reopen it.
I've run virus & adware scans, defragged, rebooted - every trick I've ever learned, to no avail.
Argh.

Moose & Bear

Hey Marty !

Moving back to Alaska in July.

This is from down in Homer - a poor moose who met a bear.

. CAUTION, Very GORY

Part 1   -  Bear & Moose - Homer, AK

Part 2   -  Bear & Moose - Homer, AK

Part 3   -  Bear & Moose - Homer, AK

Vic
soon to be back in Alaska


Thanks, Vic!
Came across this:
  "Odd sounds outside their home woke Gary and Terri Lyon early Sunday morning, so Gary got up to check it out. He looked outside and saw a 500-pound grizzly bear killing an adult moose in their driveway.
"I saw this wildlife spectacle of a full-grown brown bear on a moose and the moose fighting for its life," Gary said.
The couple put their dog inside, grabbed their cameras and started filming the attack as the grizzly battled the moose down the driveway, finally killing it. They posted the video on YouTube.
"She tore apart the chest cavity, ripped out the heart and ate it," Gary said. "It was like she knew that's what kept it alive."
For the rest: Bear kills moose in Alaska driveway

Wildfire

Griffith Park

A wildfire roiled through rugged brush-covered hills in the city's sprawling Griffith Park on Tuesday, triggering evacuations of the city zoo, a museum and other popular sites as dangerously hot and dry conditions plagued Southern California.

A towering column of smoke rose over the middle of the city as hundreds of firefighters and five water-dropping helicopters rushed to Los Angeles' landmark park - a mix of wilderness, cultural venues, horse and hiking trails and recreational facilities set on more than 4,000 acres on the hills between Hollywood and the San Fernando Valley.

Rangers evacuated the park's Vermont Canyon area, which includes the Los Angeles Zoo, two golf facilities, a merry-go-round and a magnate school, said Jane Kolb, a city Department of Recreation and Parks spokeswoman.

The museum, which is to encompass 30,000 square feet, has been in the planning stages for years. It will include a theater and exhibitions.

Auction Brings $1.1M

Grateful Dead

An auction of Grateful Dead memorabilia Tuesday brought in more than $1.1 million for items collected by the band's longtime road manager.

The collection of Lawrence "Ram Rod" Shurtliff included a 1975 cream-colored Travis Bean electric guitar played by vocalist and lead guitarist Jerry Garcia, which fetched $312,000, according to Bonhams & Butterfields Auctioneers.

Shurtliff passed away in 2006. He started as a truck driver for the band in 1967 and went on to become president of the group's board of directors when the Dead incorporated in the 1970s.

HBO Head Takes Leave

Chris Albrecht

HBO chief executive Chris Albrecht said he was taking a leave of absence to regain control of his alcoholism following a weekend assault arrest in Las Vegas.

On Sunday in Las Vegas, the HBO chairman and chief executive was arrested for investigation of assaulting his girlfriend outside the MGM Grand casino. The arrest came just hours after Saturday's Oscar De La Hoya-Floyd Mayweather Jr. boxing match aired on pay-per-view by HBO.

Albrecht was booked into the Clark County Detention Center and held for investigation of a misdemeanor battery-domestic assault. He was later released.

Lawsuit Dismissed

Andy Griffith

A man who changed his name to Andy Griffith and ran for sheriff did not harm the actor who played Mayberry's folksy sheriff on the "Andy Griffith Show," a federal judge ruled.

U.S. District Judge John Shabaz on Friday dismissed the lawsuit brought by Andy Samuel Griffith, who played Sheriff Andy Taylor on the popular 1960s TV series.

The suit claimed William Harold Fenrick violated trademark and copyright laws and the actor's privacy after he changed his name last year to Andrew Jackson Griffith. The suit was filed the day after the independent candidate came in a distant third in his race for Grant County sheriff in southwestern Wisconsin.

Over 1 Million Advance Orders At Amazon

Harry Potter

Amazon.com Inc. said on Tuesday it had booked more than 1 million advance orders for "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," scheduled for release in late July.

The online retailer also lowered its price on the book to $17.99 from $18.89. It said it would honor the lower price for customers who had already ordered the book, the seventh in the wildly popular series by J.K. Rowling about a boy wizard and his struggle against the forces of evil.

More than 620,000 copies have been ordered in advance in the United States, with more than 250,000 in the United Kingdom, Amazon said. Advance orders for this book have surpassed those in 2005 for Rowling's sixth release, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince."

Vienna Library Service

Erotica Hotline

This isn't the typical whispering you might expect to hear at a library. Vienna's City Hall has launched a "sex hotline" to raise money for the capital's main public library, officials said Tuesday.

It's unusual, but it's not particularly raunchy: Callers pay 39 euro cents (53 cents) a minute to listen to an actress read breathless passages from erotica dating to the Victorian era.

City Hall set up the hotline earlier this month to help the library raise cash for planned remodeling and expansion, Austrian media reported.

Anne Bennent, a famous Austrian stage and film star, reads passages from the Vienna library's collection of 1,200 works of erotic fiction from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, the library said.

Tossed From Steakhouse

O.J.

The owner of an upscale steakhouse in Louisville said he asked O.J. Simpson to leave his restaurant the night before the Kentucky Derby because he is sickened by the attention Simpson still attracts.

Ruby - who owns restaurants in Cincinnati, Louisville and Belterra, Ind. - said Simpson, who was in town for the Derby on Saturday, came in with a group of about 12 Friday night and was seated at a table in the back. A customer came up to Ruby and was "giddy" about seeing Simpson, Ruby said.

He said he went to Simpson's table and said, "I'm not serving you." Ruby said when Simpson didn't respond, he repeated himself and left the room.

Ruby said Simpson soon came up to him and said he understood and would gather the rest of his party to leave.

Where Have They Gone?

TV Viewers

Maybe they're outside in the garden. They could be playing softball. Or perhaps they're just plain bored.

In TV's worst spring in recent memory, an alarming number of Americans drifted away from television the past two months: More than 2.5 million fewer people were watching ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox than at the same time last year, statistics show.
