Over in the world of mashups, we've been anxiously awaiting the arrival of Panos T's "
Mash Of The Titans 5"
( panost.net/mash-of-the-titans-2/mash-of-the-titans-5/ ) , the fifth volume of a beloved bootleg series that has been teased relentlessly over the past month, or more. Sure, there's other fine mashup compilations thoughout the year, but this one has carved out a place in our cortex's through virtue of it's many famed contributors. The contributors populating this gem of a series are the big "dawgs" that the rest of us speak of in hushed whispers.
MOTT 5
( panost.net/mash-of-the-titans-2/mash-of-the-titans-5/ )
has the most well known, skilled producers from the entire Earth. Established folk like DJ's From Mars, The Fabulous Beatmashers, Kill_MR_DJ, DJ Schmolli, Mashup-Germany, & many more. The content stretches out over 22 tracks through mixes like Shahar Varshal's "Goodbye, Lush Sister", Robin Skouteris' "Rhythm Is A Mashup", & Cosmic Dawn's "I Will Survive Adventure Of A Lifetime".
To protect the viability of the release, MOTT 5
( panost.net/mash-of-the-titans-2/mash-of-the-titans-5/ )
the album omits mention of the source artists, but believe you me, the mashups on here make no surprise of the music employed. You'll find it all strangely familiar, as we bootleggers tend to say. For instance here's one of the excellent videos that Panos T slicked up. It's Happy Cat Disco's "Same Old Pop", a gem of a mix that has 15 modern pop stars all coexisting splendidly in
one brief single track

I had a rollicking great time in live chats during the KOPIMI RADIO with Mazanga Von Badman MOTT 5 premiere fm broadcast. Mazanga was joined by the fantastic live fm host, DJ Joker & Panos himself for super hosting bits that added much to the already fine audio presentation. Here's
the great show re-posted here.

I hope you enjoy some or all of the notable success of a project. You can find links for the previous 4 MOTT releases from this swell links.
First recorded in French by Greek singer Vicky Leandros, she also performed it in German (as "Blau wie das Meer") and Dutch ("Liefde is zacht"). An instrumental version of this song by a Frech orchestra became the only number-one hit by a French lead artist to top the Billboard Hot 100 in America. What is the song's title in English?
Sumo (literally "striking one another") is a form of competitive full-contact wrestling where a rikishi (wrestler) attempts to force his opponent out of a circular ring (dohyo) or into touching the ground with any body part other than the soles of his feet (usually by throwing, shoving or pushing him down).
The sport originated in Japan, the only country where it is practised professionally. It is considered a gendai budo, which refers to modern Japanese martial art, but the sport has a history spanning many centuries. Many ancient traditions have been preserved in sumo, and even today the sport includes many ritual elements, such as the use of salt purification, from Shinto.
Life as a wrestler is highly regimented, with rules regulated by the Japan Sumo Association. Most sumo wrestlers are required to live in communal sumo training stables, known in Japanese as heya, where all aspects of their daily lives-from meals to their manner of dress-are dictated by strict tradition.

• When Barbara Brooks, wife of country singer Kix Brooks of Brooks and Dunn fame, fell from a horse, she ended up in a hospital. One of the things she noticed was that a different person would appear each time she had to give a blood sample. The head of the department eventually apologized to her for this. The workers in the department were taking turns drawing her blood because they wanted to see the wife of a famous country and western singer.
• In the documentary Too Tough to Die: A Tribute to Johnny Ramone, Rob Zombie says that Johnny told him that he and his wife, Linda, were walking down a street in New York. Johnny was carrying groceries, but when he saw a fan, he said to his wife, "Linda, take the groceries. I can't have a fan see me carrying groceries." Linda said, "F**k you, John. Then leave them in the f**king street." Rob says, "John was all about cool."
Illnesses and Injuries and Rehab
• Jazz drummer Buddy Rich was a personal friend of Johnny Carson. When Mr. Rich became severely ill and worried that he might not ever play the drums again, one of Ed McMahon's friends called Mr. McMahon and said, "Ed, I'm going to make a strange request. Buddy is as down as a man can be. Would you and Johnny consider coming down to visit him? And the sooner, the better." Ed told Johnny that Buddy was ill, and Johnny immediately thought of a way to cheer him up: He and Ed would visit him and do a sketch with Johnny portraying Carnak the Magnificent. Carnac, of course, was gifted at divining the answers to questions. He would say the answer, and then he would open a sealed envelope that contained the question. As Johnny wanted, the jokes were somewhat bawdy. One example: Carnac stated that the answer was, "Dry hump." The question was, "What does a camel do after a bath?" The laughter therapy worked: Buddy made an incredible recovery.
• Dee Dee Ramone, bass player for the Ramones, was heavily into drug abuse for a lot of years. (He eventually died of a heroin overdose.) According to a Ramones roadie, Dee Dee would sometimes ask to do cocaine with the roadies. They would lay out five lines of cocaine, but Dee Dee would snort more than the one line laid out for him - he would snort all five lines, then say, "Oops! I slipped." Dee Dee owned a cat named Orlando at a time when he was smoking lots of marijuana. Eventually, the cat came into the possession of Ramones tour manager Monte A. Melnick, who said that the cat was so high from all of Dee Dee's marijuana smoke that it was bouncing off the walls for a month before it calmed down. Mr. Melnick says, "Orlando is the only cat I've met that has gone through rehab."
• In 1907, opera singer Enrico Caruso needed to visit a doctor, but he did not want the media to find out about the visit, so he decided to visit the doctor incognito; therefore, Mr. Caruso used the name of his voice coach and accompanist, Richard Barthelemy. Following the examination, the doctor said, "All right, Mr. Caruso, I'll get you well." Surprised, Mr. Caruso asked, "You know me then, doctor?" The doctor smiled and replied, "Mr. Caruso, after years on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera, do you present yourself here and expect to pass incognito? Why did you give me the name of your friend instead of your own? Don't you know that doctors are held to professional secrecy?"
• Russian conductor Vasily Safonov got very seasick while crossing the Atlantic. Violinist Fritz Kreisler's wife was on board, and she tried to comfort him by singing the Russian national anthem to him, but he begged her, "Please don't do that, or I shall have to get on my feet."
If you want some twitter laughs at Spicey's godawful DWTS performance, see below. Blue Heron's response nailed it. Also, Spicey is too stupid to understand that fans cannot vote AGAINST someone--we have to vote FOR a dancer--which is why I'll be casting ALL my votes on all three of my voting accounts for the one person who scored lower than Spicey--to try to raise Lamar Odom up and dump Spicey in elimination ground, but I fully expect Republicans to vote en masse for him for no reason other than to be ugly and, much like they did with Palin's no-talent spawn Bristol, keep him on the show until near the end. I will continue voting for anyone scoring lower (or only slightly higher) than Spicey until he's gone. Why couldn't HE have broken his arm (like Christie Brinkley)? Spicey's outfit was so numbingly awful--he might as well have worn the Easter Bunny outfit!

Anthony Bourdain was someone who traveled a lot, with his shows about food and culture around the world, such as No Reservations and Parts Unknown, so he had to be selective about the souvenirs he kept. When he died in June 2018, he left behind a collection of eclectic, elegant items.
Now, that property is being sold an auction, with some of the proceeds benefitting his estranged wife, Ottavia Busia, and their daughter, Ariane. The rest of the money will be donated to Culinary Institute of America's Anthony Bourdain Legacy Scholarship, which allows students to study abroad or enroll in courses about global cultures.
The nearly 200 items for sale in the online auction, which runs from Oct. 9 to Oct. 30, are expected to fetch a minimum of $200,000 and up to an impressive $400,000. Potential bidders can see a selection of what's for sale up close at Lark Mason Associates locations in New York City; New Braunfels, Texas; and Savannah, Ga.
Among the items are several works of art, as well as the original manuscript for Bourdain's debut novel, Bone in the Throat ($700 to $1,000), and his personal script for the 2011 episode of The Simpsons ($800 to $1,200), in which he played himself.
Bourdain's custom steel-and-meteorite chef's knife is expected to sell for the most money. Its estimated price is $4,000 to $6,000.
The Mexican government is asking a French auction house to halt the planned sale of a collection of about 120 pre-Hispanic artifacts, saying some are fakes and others should be returned to Mexico.
The relics are being offered by the French auction house Millon at a sale scheduled for Wednesday in Paris. The auction house did not respond to a request for comment.
Mexico's Foreign Relations Department said 95 of the mainly stone and clay statuettes appear to be from Mexican cultures like the Olmec, Teotihuacan and Maya. It said other pieces may be from Colombia.
As for the genuine pieces, such sales "encourage looting, illicit trafficking and forgeries," it said. Buying or selling them for private collections "deprives archaeological pieces of the cultural, historic and symbolic essence, and reduces them to mere decorative objects."
The collection includes clay fertility figurines, pottery, jewelry and other items. A French couple, Manichak and Jean Aurance, started the collection in the 1960s.
As another reminder of Disney owning a good chunk of the things we love, the company's newly relaunched, limited time Bedtime Hotline service has added some characters from its most popular acquisitions. One of them I feel maybe has kind of the opposite effect of putting your kids to peaceful sleep, though.
Last year, Disney launched the Bedtime Hotline as a way for parents to let kids get a special goodnight message from one of the classic Disney icons: Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, or Goofy. But for the next two weeks, to celebrate a new line of sleepwear for kids launching on its webstore, the company has brought the service back with some extra additions.
As Polygon reports, as well as the original Disney stars, calling the toll-free number 1-877-7-MICKEY now gives parents the chance to hear a bedtime message from Toy Story's Woody, Frozen's Elsa and Anna, or two rather more peculiar additions: Yoda representing Star Wars, and Spider-Man representing Marvel. Naturally, because we're still children that just happen to occupy the aged, crumbling sacks of meat and bones of adults, we had to give it a try for ourselves. Who doesn't want an ancient Jedi Master or one of the most beloved superheroes in the world telling them to get to bed?
Don't expect Tom Holland-it'd be a tad awkward at this point-when you select Spider-Man. It's a generic, upbeat, very chipper Spidey who's a bit more in line with Robbie Daymond's take on the character from the Disney XD Spider-Man show. He's...kind of rude, actually, telling your kid about his own day and how he's tired too, so they maybe should get to sleep too. It's more about Spidey, and less about your kid needing to get in bed:
The Yoda call, however...is something. Like Spidey, this is clearly not Frank Oz, but does a good enough job (it's unconfirmed, but it seems like it could be Tom Kane, who voices Yoda in a litany of Star Wars material like The Clone Wars, Rebels, and video games).
A new venture backed by many of video gaming's biggest publishers is unveiling a network that hopes to be to esports what ESPN has been to traditional sports.
VENN is set to launch in 2020 and aims to give the fragmented esports scene a home base for content with higher production value than gamers are used to with online streaming. The network was co-founded by four-time Emmy-winning producer Ariel Horn and entrepreneur Ben Kusin and has raised $17 million from investors including co-founders from Twitch, Riot Games and Blizzard Entertainment.
VENN, short for Video Game Entertainment and News Network, will debut with live studios in New York and Los Angeles. There is expected to be 55 hours of original programming per week, including gamer streams, talk shows, documentaries and live esport events. It already has deals in place to broadcast on Twitch and YouTube and expects to be available on mediums like Roku or Sling.
Esports revenues are expected to top $1 billion this year, and global viewership numbers are rivaling those of traditional sports - nearly 100 million viewers watched last year's League of Legends world championship, roughly on par with TV viewership for the Super Bowl.
U.S. food safety and the health of plant workers will be at risk from new federal rules that allow meat companies to slaughter hogs as fast as they want and shift the role of government inspectors, food and environmental advocates said on Tuesday.
The warnings about the U.S. Department of Agriculture's first update of inspection procedures at hog slaughterhouses in more than 50 years come after several high-profile recalls in the meat sector.
The USDA earlier on Tuesday published a final version of rules that will eliminate limits on how fast companies such as Tyson Foods and WH Group's Smithfield Foods can slaughter pigs - a change long sought by meatpackers.
The companies can instead determine their own slaughter speeds based on their ability to prevent fecal contamination and minimize bacteria, according to the rules.
Packers can also have employees, rather than USDA workers, remove meat with certain defects from the slaughtering process. Government inspectors will continue to check all live animals before they are killed as well as meat products after slaughter.
Greenhouse gases thrust into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels are warming Earth's surface more quickly than previously understood, according to new climate models set to replace those used in current UN projections, scientists said Tuesday.
By 2100, average temperatures could rise 6.5 to 7.0 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels if carbon emissions continue unabated, separate models from two leading research centres in France showed.
That is up to two degrees higher than the equivalent scenario in the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change's (IPCC) 2014 benchmark 5th Assessment Report.
The new calculations also suggest the Paris Agreement goals of capping global warming at "well below" two degrees, and 1.5C if possible, will be harder to reach, the scientists said.
With barely one degree Celsius of warming so far, the world is already coping with increasingly deadly heat waves, droughts, floods and tropical cyclones made more destructive by rising seas.
The eruption of a remote Russian volcano in June has been tingeing sunrises and sunsets the world over a gorgeous purple hue.
According to researchers at the University of Colorado, Boulder, the volcano Raikoke spewed sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere, which led to the creation of tiny particles called aerosols. The aerosols scatter sunlight, resulting in more purples at sunrise and sunset.
"It makes you realize that you don't have to put a whole lot of aerosols into the stratosphere to change its composition," Lars Kalnajs, a research associate at CU's Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics, said in a statement. "This was a relatively small volcanic eruption, but it was enough to impact most of the Northern Hemisphere."
Raikoke sits on the Kuril Island chain of the Kamchatka Peninsula. On June 22, it rumbled to life with an eruption of steam and gas that rose 1.2 miles (2 kilometers) into the air. It was the first time the volcano had erupted since 1924, according to the Smithsonian Institution's Global Volcanism Program.
