M Is FOR MASHUP - August 8th, 2012

Sparks For Sparks Sake 2 : A Mashup Tribute To Sparks

By DJ Useo


The first time I heard Sparks it was on FM radio at the beach. It was new-sounding, & my friends listening all liked it right away. I went out & bought them. Great stuff I found. Melodic, yet creative. I made a point to go see them live. Great showmen for some guys on a stage playing under coloured lights. The colorful keyboard player levitated a baby! But it was the singing & the tunes that had everyone up dancing & screaming. So many faves that we all knew, even if they weren't from the top ten. I've lost track of how many albums they've released, but it's over 20.



A few years back I spent some time doing a mashup tribute album to them. I was delighted it didn't get 'cease & desisted', & it still draws downloads to this day. Well, in the interim between now & then, I slowly did more Sparks mashups. Instead of releasing them, I simply placed them in a file until I had more than a discs' worth. Next, I played them for a few other bootlegging deejays & we whittled the included tracks down to just over an hour. Now, as part of my self-proclaimed year of the mashup album, I'm releasing 'SPARKS FOR SPARKS SAKE 2 : A Mashup Tribute To Sparks'.

I could'a cleared the 'samples', I suppose & then charged for the release of this collection. I chose instead the regular bootlegger's path & just posted it for free, under the Creative Commons License. This means you get it for free, & I claim no copyright. Do Sparks & yourself a favour, though, & buy their records. You could even go see them on tour & buy a t-shirt. As for me, I'm thinking of putting in a tip jar. Lol.
















Mix Of The Week

DJT-roy's 'The Shallow End (The official pool party mix of the summer)' is the official mix for pool parties during the summer of 2012. DJT-roy's mix features 2 hours of pool party essentials. This is a live recording made on his technics turntables. It's great club content all the way through & the mixing is a treat. Check out the playlist & stream it or download here
( soundcloud.com/djt-roy/the-shallow-end-the-official )



















Mashup Tip : It doesn't always work, but mostly you can take an instrumental & and an acapella of the same length & they work together. It has to do with common arrangements in pop music.

















Latest Useo Thing

My friend Dale on Facebook asked me to make him a yodeling dubstep track. I did with 'Yodelling Dubstep (unknown yodeller vs 2db vs Mr Magoo) ' & surprisingly, it's at the top of my downloads. It's received many listeners for a joke mix. Lol. Listen from here

Podgornio, The Mashup Psychic Predicts

You don't know the band Sparks, so you'll pass Useo's album by.

















31 December, 1976, Sparks headlined the New Year's Eve Concert at Santa Monica Civic.
The opening act was Van Halen. Next up was Flo & Eddie.
Then Russ & Ron.
Beat the hell outta Guy Lombardo.   ~marty

Trivia Question from Yesterday


According to Donovan, what did Jennifer Juniper ride?


   A Dappled Mare                                                      Source


"Jennifer Juniper" is a song and single by Donovan, released in 1968. It charted in the UK and USA. It was written about Jenny Boyd, sister of Pattie Boyd, while they were all with The Beatles in Rishikesh. She married Mick Fleetwood and was, at one time, the sister-in-law of George Harrison and, later, Eric Clapton. The song features a wind section with oboe, flute, and bassoon. The last stanza of the song is sung in French.        Source

   Jennifer Juniper, lives upon the hill
   Jennifer Juniper, sitting very still

   Is she sleeping? I don't think so
   Is she breathing? Yes, very low
   Whatcha doing, Jennifer, my love?

   Jennifer Juniper, rides a dappled mare
   Jennifer Juniper, lilacs in her hair







Baron Dave ("You know, back in the 60s when we said we wanted to change society... perhaps we should have been more specific." -- Christopher Lloyd, Camp Nowhere) was first, and correct, with:
   "Jennifer Juniper rides a dappled mare."
  The song is about the woman who was sister to the woman who was "Layla". Oh, to have such muses.

Jim from CA, retired to ID, replied:
   Jennifer Juniper, rides a dappled mare



Adam answered:
   A Dappled Mare. I have no idea what that means. Drugs, right? It probably means drugs.



Dave responded:
   Jennifer Juniper rode a "dappled mare".



Sally said:
   According to Donovan, Jennifer Juniper rode a dappled mare - everyone (over 50) knows that...


  Donovan was so lame...
  PS: What a nice picture of Carla and the girls, JoeS! I love the photos of the gks folks... :)




Marian replied:
   dappled mare



BttbBob is communing with nature.
  



Dale of Diamond Springs responded:
   Jennifer Juniper, rides a dappled mare. Jennifer Juniper was written about Jenny Boyd, sister of Patty Boyd (George Harrison's first wife). I saw Donovan at Winterland and the Fillmore in 67-68. He put on extremely metaphysical shows and had the audience eating out of his hands. I think he was as loaded as we were. That was back in the 'fun days', a few years before the 'fun with trouble days. I have his "Troubadours" CD and still listen to it every now and then.

Then                   Donovan                   Now

Upcoming Event

"Obama Classic"

President Obama's latest squad ofcampaign supporters is a slam dunk. Obama has enlisted a growing army of celebrity supporters from the film, television and music arenas this election season, so it was only a matter of time before he commanded sports stars to join his team.

Enter a lineup of basketball luminaries - Michael Jordan, Patrick Ewing, Alonzo Mourning, Kyrie Irving, Carmelo Anthony andSheryl Swoopes - who have thrown in to shoot hoops with a pair of lucky civilians at an upcoming "Obama Classic" event.

The price of entry to the sporty affair - date and other special guests TBA - is, like other celebrity-oriented events Obama's team has organized in recent months, a donation of $3 or more to the campaign.

The sweepstakes winner and guest will also have the chance to hobnob with Obama and Jordan "over dinner," according to a promotional email circulated Tuesday by campaign aide Marlon Marshall, who opened his message by saying he's "so jealous" of the lucky winner, "I can barely write the rest of this email."

Prosecutors Ask For 3 Years

Pussy Riot

Prosecutors on Tuesday called for three-year sentences for the members of a feminist punk band who performed an anti-Vladimir Putin stunt in Moscow's mais by humrights groups that the three women be set free.

Defense lawyers and an influential Russian Orthodox cleric warned that jail time for the women could backfire by severing trust between ordinary Russians and the country's institutions.

Prosecutor Alexander Nikiforov portrayed his request as lenient, saying the recommendation takes into account the fact that two of the defendants are young mothers and that they have good character references.

The three women - Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, 23; Maria Alekhina, 24; and Yekaterina Samutsevich, 29 - have been in custody for five months following the February stunt, in which they took over a church pulpit in Christ the Savior cathedral for less than a minute, singing, high-kicking and dancing.

Their case is part of a widening government crackdown on dissent that followed Putin's election in March and caused strong protests in Russia and abroad. Musicians including Madonna, the Who's Pete Townshend and Neil Tennant of the Pet Shop Boys ave urged their release.

Reward: A free Russia." holds a poster that reads: "This is not the court, this is a lynching!" Members of a feminist Russian punk band on trial for performing a stunt against Vladimir Putin in Moscow's main cathedral sought to dismiss their judge on Monday, accusing him in court of being politically biased and ignoring their side of the story.

Faces Protest In Russia

Madonna

US pop icon Madonna found herself in hot water in Moscow on Tuesday after she waded into Russia's fiercest controversy by calling for the release of three women in the Pussy Riot protest punk band.

The one-time "material girl" and current campaigner for human rights causes arrived in Moscow on Monday to open a new gym for celebrities and then entertain thousands at the Olimpiysky stadium the following day.

But her visit coincided with a courtroom drama pitting three women in their 20s against the growing might of Russia's Orthodox Church and even President Vladimir Putin himself.

Madonna had already expressed surprise at the case when informed about it by a Russian television reporter in an interviewed aired in Moscow last week.

But she added her voice much more strongly to those of other superstars such as Sting and the Red Hot Chili Peppers in Moscow by calling the case "a tragedy" and underscoring the important links between politics and art.

American Cinematheque Award

Ben Stiller

Ben Stiller had better brush off the tux, because the American Cinematheque said Tuesday that he will receive the organization's award for career achievement.

Stiller has been one of the most bankable comic stars in movies over the past decade, racking up hits like "Meet the Parents" and "A Night at the Museum," while scoring with edgier fare like the profane and hysterical "Tropic Thunder." He has also shown a willingness to expand his range, starring in low-budget indies like Noah Baumbach's "Greenberg."

In receiving the American Cinematheque honor, Stiller joins a list of prior honorees that includes such A-listers as Sean Connery,Steven Spielberg, Matt Damon, Jodie Foster and last year's recipient, Robert Downey Jr.

The presentation, which will take place Thursday, November 15 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, will include tributes from some of Stiller's colleagues and friends. Funds raised as part of the benefit will support the American Cinematheque's film programming at non-profit theaters like the Aero and the Egyptian.

LA Day

Bob Marley

It's Bob Marley Day in Los Angeles.

The City Council proclaimed the day Tuesday in honor of the Jamaican reggae legend whose string of hits include "I Shot the Sheriff" and "No Woman, No Cry."

Marley was 36 when he died of cancer in 1981 but his children Ziggy and Karen were on hand for the honor. With Councilman Joe Buscaino leading from the podium, they joined in singing a verse from Marley's "Redemption Song."

The proclamation coincides with the DVD release of the documentary "Marley."

Begins Production

"Arrested Development"

"Arrested Development" fans, rejoice - the Bluth family is one step closer to returning to a screen near you.

The series began production on its upcoming fourth season on Tuesday, a spokeswoman for Netflix - which will air the season - told TheWrap.

Series star Jason Bateman whetted fans' appetites in July, tweeting that filming would begin in the coming weeks. Ron Howard, who produces and narrates the series, also stoked enthusiasm last month by tweeting a photo from the writers' room and noting, "Arrested Development for Netflix, IT'S ALIVE."

The cult favorite, which ran on Fox for three seasons between 2003 and 2006, is being resuscitated for a 10-episode fourth season, which will all become available on Netflix at the same time next year.

Battle With NBC

Sharon Osbourne

NBC defended itself Monday against Sharon Osbourne's claim the network discriminated against her afflicted son in casting a new reality show.

The "America's Got Talent" judge told The New York Post that she's quitting the show because NBC fired her son, Jack Osbourne, by email two days before he was to co-star on the reality show "Stars Earn Stripes."

In a statement Monday, NBC Entertainment Chairman Bob Greenblatt said the network "does not discriminate on any basis."

Jack Osbourne was offered two alternative roles on the show but declined both, said Greenblatt, who made an effort to smooth things over with the Osbourne clan, including patriarch-rocker Ozzy Osbourne.

Newsstand Sales Slide

US Magazines

U.S. magazine sales fell nearly 10 percent in the first half of 2012, a troubling sign for publishers that suggests Americans are still being careful about discretionary spending.

The Audit Bureau of Circulations said Tuesday that overall circulation, including subscriptions, was just about flat from a year earlier. But single-copy sales, which are more closely watched - because publishers make more money from them- continued to fall. Subscriptions are typically sold at a discount so publishers can increase their circulation and attract advertisers.

The industry group said that single-copy sales at newsstands and other retailers totaled 26.4 million in the first six months of 2012. That's down from 29.1 million in the same period last year.

Cosmopolitan was still the top-selling magazine at newsstands, even though its sales fell nearly 16 percent to 1.4 million. Most of the top 25 best-selling magazines saw their sales decline. Family Circle and Woman's Day were among the exceptions. Weight Watchers magazine saw the biggest sales decline - nearly 28 percent, to 325,950 copies in the first six months of the year.

Not A Koch Brothers Fan

Zach Galifianakis

Players: Zach Galifianakis, oddball comedian best known for The Hangover and a guy who interviews celebrities between two ferns; the Koch brothers, billionaires with major conservative power.

The Opening Serve: In an interview with The New York Daily News' Jacob E. Osterhout published yesterday, Galifianakis got serious about who the inspiration was for two characters in his upcoming movie with Will Ferrell, The Campaign. The Motch brothers, played by Dan Aykroyd andJohn Lithgow, represent the Koch brothers, something Galifianakis said was "pretty obvious. He continued: "I disagree with everything they do. They are creepy and there is no way around that. It's not freedom what they are doing."

The Return Volley: The Koch brothers responded through a spokesman with a bonus jab at the panned The Hangover Part II (which, we should add, is a particularly easy target). Via Politico's Tomer Ovadia.

What They Say They're Fighting About: Basically it boils down to opinions of the Koch brothers. Galifianakis finds them distasteful, they find themselves just fine.

In Memory

Judith Crist

Judith Crist, a blunt and popular film critic for the "Today" show, TV Guide and the New York Herald Tribune whose reviews were at times so harsh that director Otto Premingerlabeled her "Judas Crist," has died. She was 90.

Her son, Steven Crist, said his mother died Tuesday at her Manhattan home after a long illness.

Starting in 1963, at the Tribune, Crist wrote about and discussed thousands of movies, and also covered theater and books. She was among the first reviewers of her time to gain a national following, and Roger Ebert credited her with helping to make all film critics better known, including such contemporaries as The New Yorker's Pauline Kael and Andrew Sarris of the Village Voice.

With the growing recognition of such foreign directors as Francois Truffaut and Federico Fellini, and the rise of such American filmmakers as Robert Altman and Martin Scorsese, the 1960s and 1970s were an inspiring time for movie reviewers. But Crist's trademark quickly became the putdown.

But Crist had many friends in the business, from Bette Davis to "Cleopatra" director Joseph Mankiewicz. She ran a film festival for decades out of suburban Tarrytown, N.Y., with guests including Robert Redford, Paul Newman and Steven Spielberg. Woody Allen liked her well enough to give her a cameo in his 1980 drama "Stardust Memories," widely believed to have been based in part on Crist's Tarrytown gatherings.

She was born in New York in 1922 and would say that Charlie Chaplin's silent masterpiece "The Gold Rush" was her first and most vivid film memory. By age 10, she had decided she wanted to be a reviewer; movies became her passion and her vice. She would cut classes for a chance to visit a theater or two, including a cherished day in which she took in showings of "Gone With the Wind," ''The Grapes of Wrath" and "Grand Illusion."

Her edge was likely formed by her Dickensian childhood. The daughter of a successful fur trader, she lived in Canada until age 9, attending private school, enjoying the luxuries of multiple homes, live-in servants and the family's bulletproof Cadillac. But in the 1930s, her father's business was ruined by the Great Depression.

She still managed to attend Hunter College and receive a master's degree from Columbia University's journalism school. In 1945, soon after graduation, she was hired as a feature writer by the Herald Tribune, where she remained until the paper closed, in 1966, and where colleagues included Jimmy Breslin and Tom Wolfe. In 1950, her education reporting brought her a George Polk Award, and she was honored five times by the New York Newspaper Woman's Club.

Crist reviewed film and theater for the "Today" show from 1964-73, and as a print critic worked for New York magazine, TV Guide and the New York Post. She was a longtime adjunct professor at Columbia and her essays, interviews and reviews have been compiled into three books: "The Private Eye, The Cowboy and the Very Naked Girl," ''Judith Crist's TV Guide to the Movies" and "Take 22: Moviemakers on Moviemaking."

Crist's husband, public relations consultant William B. Crist, died in 1993. Their son, Steven Crist, covered horse racing for The New York Times and later became publisher of the Daily Racing Form.

Robert Hughes

Australian writer and art critic Robert Hughes, whose works include "The Fatal Shore" and "The Shock of the New," died on Monday in New York, his publishers said.

Hughes, 74, died after a long illness, publishers Alfred A. Knopf said in a statement.

Hughes, known for his acerbic wit and criticism of modern art, moved to New York in the 1970s where he lived until his death.

He began his career as a cartoonist and later an art critic in Sydney before moving to Europe and later the United States where he landed a job as art critic for Time magazine.

He also worked in television, producing a 1980 BBC series on the development of modern art called "The Shock of the New" and a book that were noted for their insight and wit.

He also made TV documentaries on the painter Francisco Goya and a 1997 U.S. TV series called "American Visions" on the history of U.S. art since the American Revolution.

But he was perhaps most famous for his 1987 book "The Fatal Shore," a study of the early settlement of Australia and its roots as a British penal colony, which went on to become an international best-seller.

"The Fatal Shore" was rated in 2011 as among the top 100 non-fiction books written in English since 1923 by Time magazine, which called it "a staggering achievement."

In Memory

Marvin Hamlisch

Marvin Hamlisch was blessed with perfect pitch and an infallible ear. "I heard sounds that other children didn't hear," he wrote in his autobiography.

He turned that skill into writing and arranging compulsively memorable songs that the world was unable to stop humming - from the mournful "The Way We Were" to the jaunty theme from "The Sting."

Prolific and seeming without boundaries, Hamlisch, who died at 68 after a short illness, composed music for film heroes from James Bond and Woody Allen, for powerful singers such as Liza Minnelli and Aretha Franklin, and high-kicking dancers of the Tony-winning "A Chorus Line." To borrow one of his song titles, nobody did it better.

The New York-born Hamlisch composed more than 40 film scores, including "Sophie's Choice," ''Ordinary People," ''The Way We Were" and "Take the Money and Run." His latest work came for Steven Soderbergh's "The Informant!"

Hamlisch became one of the most decorated artists in history, winning three Oscars, four Emmys, four Grammys, a Tony, a Pulitzer and three Golden Globes. The marquees of Broadway theatres in New York will be dimmed in his memory on Wednesday at 8 p.m.

Hamlisch received both a Tony and the Pulitzer for "A Chorus Line" - the second longest-running American show in Broadway history - and wrote the music for "The Goodbye Girl" and "Sweet Smell of Success." He was scheduled to fly to Nashville, Tenn., this week to see a new musical production of his musical "The Nutty Professor," directed by Jerry Lewis.

Hamlisch even reached into the pop world, writing the No. 1 R&B hit "Break It to Me Gently" with Carole Bayer Sager for Franklin. He co-wrote "One Song" sung by Tevin Campbell and produced by Quincy Jones, and "I Don't Do Duets" sung by Patti LaBelle and Gladys Knight.

He didn't rest on that laurel, writing everything from the title song for the TV series "Brooklyn Bridge" to the stunning score of the movie "The Swimmer" to the symphonic suite "Anatomy of Peace." He also wrote the original theme song for ABC's "Good Morning America."

Hamlisch's interest in music started early. At the age of 7, he entered the Juilliard School of Music, having stunned the admissions committee with his renditions of "Goodnight Irene" in any key they desired.

In his teens, he switched from piano recitals to songwriting. Show music held a special fascination for him. Hamlisch's first important job in the theater was as rehearsal pianist for the Broadway production of "Funny Girl" with Streisand in 1964. He graduated to other shows like "Fade Out-Fade In," ''Golden Rainbow" and "Henry, Sweet Henry," and other jobs like arranging dance and vocal music.

"The Way We Were" - a big, sentimental movie ballad that became hugely successful in the rock era - exemplified Hamlisch's boundary-crossing appeal. He was extremely versatile, creating musical themes for the Woody Allen comedy "Bananas" and the somber family drama "Ordinary People." His music electrified 007 in "The Spy Who Loved Me," especially the torch song "Nobody Does It Better," performed by Carly Simon.

Although known for his hits, Hamlisch had fallow periods, including two theatrical flops in the mid-1980s: "Jean Seberg" on the London stage and "Smile," loosely based on a 1978 movie about a small-time beauty pageant, on Broadway.

Hamlisch's place in popular culture reached beyond his music. His nerdy, thick-eyeglasses look was celebrated in the 1970s on NBC's "Saturday Night Live," when Gilda Radner's Lisa Loopner swooned over Hamlisch tunes.

Hamlisch was principal pops conductor for symphony orchestras in Pittsburgh, Milwaukee, Dallas, Pasadena, Seattle and San Diego at the time of his death. Dallas' orchestra remembered Hamlisch Tuesday for "his natural grace at the piano, his humor and his elegant style in many genres of music."

Hamlisch was working on a new musical, "Gotta Dance," at the time of his death and was scheduled to write the score for a new Soderbergh film on Liberace, "Behind the Candelabra," starring Michael Douglas and Matt Damon.

He is survived by his wife of 25 years, Terre, a television producer.

Stuart Swanlund

Marshall Tucker Band guitarist Stuart Swanlund has died. He was 54.

Publicist Don Murry Grubbs said Monday night that the guitarist died in his sleep of natural causes Saturday at his Chicago home.

Swanland joined the band in 1985 after it had split up and regrouped. He was the longest running member of the group except for founding member Doug Gray.

The group is best known for its 1977 Top 40 hit "Heard It In a Love Song." Their sound is a blend of rock, country and gospel.

Swanlund's funeral will take place Saturday at the Good Shepherd Memorial Park in Boiling Springs, S.C.

He's survived by his sister, three grandchildren, a son, William "Billy" Swanlund, and his lifelong partner, Stacey Schmaren.
