M Is FOR MASHUP - July 11 2007

The Productions Of DJ JohnnyRed

By DJ Useo



DJ JohnnyRed premiered his new website last week with eleven new mashups of HipHop/R&B Vs. House/LatinHouse/Electro.As if we weren't already impressed with his regular fine releases of mashups & mashup videos. I'm still reeling from 'The Blackout Cries Mary' (Jimi Hendrix vs. Muse) with it's moody interpretation of the sixties' classic 'The Wind Cries Mary' updated against a backdrop of Muse.The Hendrix track is in rotation on 94.7 KNRK in Portland, Oregon Saturday nights. Nice work for a mashup. I just had to include DJ JohnnyRed's 'On The DNB Side' (John Cafferty Vs. Pendulum) in my latest mix. It has Cafferty's wailing over pounding electro drum 'n bass. It gets me worked up & affects my listeners the same way.



Amongst the eleven new tracks on his just-launched site are 'Electrico Satisfaction' (Hot Hands Vs. Ludacris Feat. Field Mob), 'Whatz La Phone Number' (2Pac Vs. Ultra Deep Boys),& my fave of the batch,'Jump & Spread Track' (Jason Rivas Vs. Miri Ben-Ari Feat.Fatman Scoop, Pitbull, Zion & Lennox). That one gets me moving more than ever! The new tracks affirm once again his mastery of Hip Hop, Electro & whatever other style you require to motivate the dancefloor. All the names & acts you know are given the special JohnnyRed twist that heightens them into memorable bootlegs.



Many of his best tracks also appear as bootleg videos. The Muse/Hendrix one for instance, is a great view! 'London Bridge, But True' has Metallica backing up Fergie in the best way, & you can watch it, as well as hear it. Not too shabby! 'Cochise Down' (Audioslave vs.Beastie Boys) is a big fave of mine. My pal, Chigger Fred is always asking me to show him 'Usher Foley' (Usher Ft. Lil Jon & Ludacris vs. Harold Faltemeyer), a vid made by JohnnyRed for a mystery boot by an unknown bootlegger. Good viewing, let me tell you. All in all, he's produced 23 videos, all of which can be viewed at his Multiply site (registration free).

A big feature of many mashups is the bootlegged cover art. DJ JohnnyRed is a master of these as well as the tunes. His boot covers are slick & attractive. Surefire visual pleasers with words you can read easily, & identifiable stars portrayed doing things they never really did, like singing with Jason Rivas. Lol They're akin to movie posters in the way they catch your imagination. "Hey! 2Pac vs the Ultra Deep Boys! That's for me!" you'll shout.



Recently he released a long mix entitled "DJ JohnnyRed Presents: HouseHop Volume 1. Where House Music & Hip Hop Meet". It's over 40 minutes of non-stop House mixed with Hip Hop/R&B vocals, & is sure to keep you moving with a smile. The cover is a real eye-grabber, portraying a city bustling at night. His work has also appeared on many of the Beat-Boot-Ique mashup compilations, a site where he operates as moderator aiding other mixers to spread their craft.



DJ JohnnyRed had the following comments to offer- "So-o.... Me.... I am 28 years old. Live in the USA. Have 3 kids. I have been DJing since the summer of 2000. I Google myself. haha. I dont know what else to say.... Thanks everyone."

I told him what a fine artist he is & he replied- "I don't think I'm anything special! I'm just doing my part on where I think music should go! I think music should know absolutely no bounds."



I inquired as to the secret of his creative passion- "Mash-Ups, Bootlegs or Bastard Pop, whatever you care to call it is simply musical freedom! It's saying, doing and playing whatever you want! And I love it!" You'll love it too as you savor his own take on all your favorite popstars.

Words & Oz

Hiya Marty!

Here're some words and definitions for you to use as you want, plus a COOL true story about the Wizard of Oz
[snippage]
In seeking a costume for the character Professor Marvel in the The Wizard of Oz, the MGM wardrobe department found a tattered Prince Albert coat in a secondhand store in Los Angeles.

One afternoon actor Frank Morgan turned out the coat's pocket and discovered the name "L. Frank Baum." By a bizarre coincidence, they had chosen a coat once owned by the author of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

This sounds dubious, I know, but cinematographer Hal Rosson, his niece Helene Bowman, and unit publicist Mary Mayer have all vouched for the story.

"We wired the tailor in Chicago and sent pictures," Mayer told Aljean Harmetz for the book The Making of The Wizard of Oz. "And the tailor sent back a notarized letter saying that the coat had been made for Frank Baum. Baum's widow identified the coat, too, and after the picture was finished we presented it to her. But I could never get anyone to believe the story."

Springfield, Vermont Wins

`Simpsons'

It's Duff time in Springfield, Vt., which on Tuesday was proclaimed the official hometown of TV's favorite dysfunctional family, the Simpsons.

The southeastern Vermont community beat out 13 other Springfields for the honor, which includes hosting the premiere of "The Simpsons Movie" on July 26th.

The town of 9,300 was the smallest in population among the communities entered. It put together a video showing a local TV personality playing Homer Simpson and chasing a giant, pink doughnut through the town.

According to USA Today, the 13 other Springfields that participated in the contest will be given small screenings of their own the night before the movie opens nationwide July 27.

Book Due Sept. 4

Bill Clinton

Former President Clinton's planned book on citizen activism, "Giving: How Each of Us Can Change the World," will come out Sept. 4 with a first printing of 750,000, publisher Alfred A. Knopf announced Tuesday.

Clinton, whose memoir "My Life" was a million seller, will tour nationwide to promote the book and will narrate the audio version.

Proceeds will be donated "to charities and nonprofits that are doing their part to change the world." Financial terms for the book, first announced in May 2006, were not disclosed. Clinton is said to have received $10 million-$12 million for writing "My Life," the 957-page memoir that Knopf published in 2004.

Costumes Sold In Paris

'Dallas'

Stetson hats, suede fringes and cowboy belt buckles worn in the iconic 1980s U.S. television series 'Dallas' went under the hammer on Tuesday as former cast members emptied their closets for a charity auction.

The three dozen articles of clothing worn during the shooting of the internationally popular show fetched 12,500 euros ($17,000), an organizer from Artcurial auction house on the smart Champs Elysees boulevard announced after the sale.

Some of the 200 people packing the hall rushed up the aisles to take pictures of former cast members Larry Hagman, Linda Gray, Patrick Duffy, Steve Kanaly, and Charlene Tilton, who opened the sale to the French version of the show's theme tune.

A white Stetson hat belonging to Hagman, 75, who once played cunning and philandering oil baron J.R. Ewing, raked in the most money for a single item -- 1,300 euros.

New Words For Dictionary

'Ginormous'

It was a ginormous year for the wordsmiths at Merriam-Webster. Along with embracing the adjective that combines "gigantic" and "enormous," the dictionary publishers also got into Bollywood, sudoku and speed dating.

But their interest in India's motion-picture industry, number puzzles and trendy ways to meet people was all meant for a higher cause: updating the company's collegiate dictionary, which goes on sale this fall with about 100 newly added words.

There's "crunk," a style of Southern rap music; the abbreviated "DVR," for digital video recorder; and "IED," shorthand for the improvised explosive devices that have become common in the war in Iraq.

If it sounds as though Merriam-Webster is dropping its buttoned-down image with too much talk of "smackdowns" (contests in entertainment wrestling) and "telenovelas" (Latin-American soap operas), consider it also is adding "gray literature" (hard-to-get written material) and "microgreen" (a shoot of a standard salad plant.)

Tori Spelling is now available for weddings. "Yep, that's right. ... Reverend Tori Spelling! I did it last week online and my official certificate is in the mail. I'm so proud," the 34-year-old actress said in a posting Monday on the MySpace.com site she shares with her husband, Dean McDermott.

Spelling officiated at a same-sex union last weekend at Chateau La Rue, the bed-and-breakfast that she and McDermott run in Fallbrook, Calif., on their Oxygen network unscripted series, "Tori & Dean: Inn Love," her spokeswoman, Meghan Prophet, said Tuesday.

Spelling and McDermott, who were married in May 2006, will reprise their innkeeper duties for the show's second season, which premieres Aug. 14.

Sponsors Drop BET Series

`Hot Ghetto Mess'

At least two companies have pulled ads from the debut of BET's "Hot Ghetto Mess," a series that critics say puts black stereotypes on display but the channel calls "a blend of tough love and social commentary."

State Farm Insurance Cos. and Home Depot asked BET to drop their ads from the series debuting July 25, trade paper The Hollywood Reporter said Tuesday.

"Hot Ghetto Mess," also called "HGM," combines viewer-submitted home videos and BET-produced man-on-the-street interviews that the channel said in a release are intended to challenge and inspire "viewers to improve themselves and their communities."

The six-episode series is hosted by comedian Charlie Murphy ("Chappelle's Show"). It's based on a Web site that features photos of men and women, mostly black, with extreme hairstyles and clothing typically linked to hip-hop fashion.

Judge Orders 4 Trials

Busta Rhymes

Busta Rhymes, accused of attacking two men, driving drunk and driving with a suspended license, has rejected a plea deal and is facing four separate trials.

Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Larry Stephen denied a motion by the prosecution Tuesday to consolidate two assault charges against Rhymes. The 35-year-old rapper is accused of beating a fan and also of beating and kicking a former employee last year.

"The two assault cases cannot be consolidated," said Rhymes' lawyer, Scott Leemon. "The decision today validated Busta's defenses to the assault cases. We detailed to the court that we have defense to these cases and the court agreed."

Assistant District Attorney Harrison Schweiloch hadn't moved to have the drunken driving and suspended license cases consolidated, so the judge allowed them to remain separate.

Italy Threatens Sanctions

J. Paul Getty Museum

Italy's culture minister said Tuesday that he has sent the J. Paul Getty Museum a proposal to resolve a dispute over allegedly looted antiquities, and threatened the Los Angeles museum with sanctions if a deal is not reached by the end of this month.

Italian authorities have launched a worldwide campaign to recover looted treasures and are at odds with Getty over antiquities they say were illegally dug up and smuggled out of the country, despite laws making all antiquities found in Italy state property.

The museum said last year it would return 26 disputed objects - including sculptures, pottery and frescoes - but Italian officials are demanding an additional 21. The Getty museum denies knowingly buying any illegally obtained objects and has said it remains open to resuming discussions with the ministry on contested pieces.

In Memory

Charles Lane

Charles Lane, the prolific character actor whose name was little known, but whose bespectacled face and crotchety persona made him instantly recognizable to generations of movie-goers, has died, his son Tom said Tuesday. He was 102.

Lane, whose career spanned more than 60 years, appeared in such film classics as "It's a Wonderful Life," "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town" and "Twentieth Century."

He also had a recurring role as the scheming railroad man, Homer Beadle, on the 1960s TV sitcom "Petticoat Junction" and appeared often on television's "I Love Lucy."

His crisp, stage-trained voice and no-nonsense appearance made him a natural for playing authority figures. He was a judge in "God is My Partner," a prosecutor in "Call Northside 777," a priest in "Date With an Angel" and a member of Clark Gable's newspaper editorial board in "Teacher's Pet."

In 1934, Frank Capra, then on his rise to eminence, cast Lane in a horse racing film, "Broadway Bill." Capra liked the actor's work so much he included him in nine more movies, including "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" and "You Can't Take It with You."

Lane continued to act into his 90s, and when he accepted an award from cable television's TV Land channel in honor of his 100th birthday, he made a point of saying he was still available for work.

In Memory

Doug Marlette

Doug Marlette, the North Carolina-born cartoonist who won a Pulitzer Prize and created the popular strip "Kudzu," was killed in a car accident Tuesday morning in Mississippi, authorities said. He was 57.

Born in Greensboro, Marlette began drawing political cartoons for The Charlotte Observer in 1972.

He won the Pulitzer in 1988 for his editorial cartooning in both Charlotte and at the Atlanta Constitution, which he had joined the year before.

He said at the time that his biting approach could be traced in part to "a grandmother bayoneted by a guardsman during a mill strike in the Carolinas. There are some rebellious genes floating around in me."

Among his books were "Shred This Book: The Scandalous Cartoons of Doug Marlette," "In Your Face: A Cartoonist at Work" and "The Bridge," his first novel, published in 2001.

Marlette is survived by his wife, Melinda, and an adult son, Jackson. He divided his time between homes in Tulsa and in Hillsborough, N.C.
