M Is FOR MASHUP - October 17th 2007

Halloween Mashup Treats-No Trick!

By DJ Useo



Cheekyboy has a tradition of favouring us with compilations of Halloween-oriented mashups. This year is no exception! MASHED PUMPKINS contains the perfect seasonal fright for Samhain in the form of bastard pop versions of the tracks you know from growing up, & also current artists. It runs the gamut from 'The Purple People Eater" to Dr. Satan by Rob Zombie.

It features many fine mixers like Mr Fab, DJ Engineer, & King.of.Pants. All proven sources of not only mashups, but also Halloween mashups. You'll also hear tracks by similarly-releasing bootleggers like PimpDaddySupreme, TheHomogenicChaos, Fettdog, FrogtheDawg, & even me. I love the mashup, I have loved Halloween since a lad, & so this is a dream-come-true for me, to be on a Halloween bootleg collection.

Renowned Bootlegger DJ M.i.F generously provided an overview of some of the MASHED PUMPKINS COLLECTION-

  1. Cheekyboy starts offs the halloween show with a little help from his scary friends: Petey Pablo, Winchell Donuts & the Nightmare Before Xmas theme.

A real partystarter, that probably will make the little kids shit their pants.


  2. Fettdog has since the start been a beat-cutter, now he also fleshcuts! Most people are familar with the dialog from the first Saw-movie, but they never heard it like this before. Watch your step!


  3. TheHomogenicChaos strikes again. This time the king of Kaos is followed by his loyal servants Hybrid, Chaka Kahn & Chikane. A door opens to a magic world and you're suddently taken away. When you wake up you'll find yourself in a adventurous state between dream and well, a bad dream!


  4. King.of.Pants was invited to an eating party by the 80's-band "Toto Coelo". What he didn't know is that they are going to have him for dinner. He is eaten by cannibals, in fact they are so greedy that they eat Greenkeepers, Detroit New Pubahs, Jeffrey Dahmer & Gwen Stefani (but I would do the same, she's really Yummy!). Cannibal 80's party the people!


  5. In 1969 when The Who wrote their imfamous rock opera "Tommy", they would never have believed me, if I told them that one the songs would still be living 38 years after. Warning: MrFab will sure make you want your mommy. A mummy will scare the shit of you when you play this track!


  6. The British ska-band "The Specials" wrote "Ghost Town" as a reponse to Margaret Thatcher's policies. When the single hit the top of the UK Top 40, riots occurred on the streets of Great Britain. It is a proof that music reflects the social circumstances of the country. In 2004 "Ghost Town" was used in the zombie comedy "Shaun of the Dead". In 2007 it is used in a powerful Halloween mashup by PimpDaddySupreme, with the help of LiL John spitting the lyrics.


  7. What's green and red and goes around at 300 miles per hour? Frogthedawg in a blender. Take a little bit hush,add a few nah-nahnah - and you get a really catchy halloween cocktail! Bon appetit!"

Filmed in front of a classroom of enthusiastic college students, the Emmy®- winning star of HBO's Arli$$ delivers an imaginative, irreverent comedic "lecture" that playfully examines some of the facts, myths, and myths-that-became-facts that have permeated American history. Mixing current pop culture with historical events, Wuhl explores the legitimacy of some quintessential American icons and exposes some little-known truths.

Wows CUPE Delegates

Buffy Sainte-Marie

Legendary folk singer and poet Buffy Sainte-Marie brought 2,000 Canadian Union of Public Employees delegates to their feet Tuesday with an anti-war message punctuated by poetry and a trademark anti-capitalist protest song that showcased the power and depths of her artistry.

At 66, Sainte-Marie exuded strength and serenity as she urged her rapt audience to remember that no single group of people, no nation, has a lock on wisdom or culture.

Sainte-Marie was especially scathing in her assessment of the conflicts raging in Iraq and Afghanistan.

She said those wars are nothing more than "money laundering" that loots local economies - the kind of outspoken position that saw her blacklisted in the U.S. during the Vietnam War era.

"It's got nothing to do with any of the ideals for which young people will enlist to protect their country, to preserve their traditions," she said. "It's a big fat lie."

U.S. `Open Book Tour'

J.K. Rowling

J.K. Rowling made a rare U.S. appearance, reading at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood in front of scores of wand-clutching would-be wizards and witches.

Seated on a gold throne with plush red cushions, Rowling read Monday from the seventh and final of her novels on Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows."

To accommodate a crushing demand for tickets, Rowling's American publisher sent a "sorting hat" like those used to divide students into houses in the novels to 40 randomly selected Los Angeles schools. Forty students from each school were then selected from the hat.

Rowling said the gimmick was meant to avoid the sort of madness she faced in a previous U.S. appearance.

Flatt & Scruggs teamed as a bluegrass act in the 1940s. They recorded the theme song to "The Beverly Hillbillies" TV show in 1962, and their instrumental "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" was used in the 1967 film "Bonnie and Clyde."

Hank Williams Jr., gospel singer Dottie Rambo, and country tunesmiths Bob DiPiero and Mac McAnally were also inducted.

Welcomes Thomas the Tank Engine

Jimmy Carter

Former President Carter joined a group of young children Tuesday in welcoming Thomas the Tank Engine - the smiling, chubby-cheeked storybook locomotive - to south Georgia.

Carter said 10 trains a day passed his rural boyhood home and he often stood along the tracks and waved at the engineers "who were my heroes."

The Thomas replica pulled a nine-car train from a station at the Georgia Veterans State Park west of Cordele. It crossed nearby Lake Blackshear before returning to the park.

After the 25-minute ride, Carter read a train story to about 50 children, ages 4 to 6, from area schools. Later, few of the children could remember Carter's name, although they knew he was a former president. One child said the most memorable event for him was using the train's restroom.

Mutts And Moms Mess

Ellen DeGeneres

Ellen DeGeneres' doggy drama intensified Tuesday when the agency that took the talk show host's adopted dog back said they were keeping it.

The dog adopted by DeGeneres and later given to her hairstylist's family in violation of an animal rescue agency's rules will not be going back to the family, a spokesman said, amid threats of violence against the agency.

The dog was removed from the hairstylist's home Sunday. The owners of Mutts and Moms claimed that DeGeneres violated the adoption agreement by not informing them that she was giving the dog away.

Mutts and Moms owners Marina Batkis and Vanessa Chekroun were in possession of the dog and will not be giving it back, attorney Keith A. Fink told The Associated Press.

"She doesn't think this is the type of family that should have the dog. She is adamant that she is not going to be bullied around by the Ellen DeGenereses of the world.

Britney Spears reported to a Los Angeles police station Monday night to face charges of hit and run and driving without a valid license, police said.

Officer Mike Lopez said Spears turned herself in around 9 p.m. and left about 45 minutes later. Spears was fingerprinted and photographed, he said.

Spears, 25, was wearing large designer sunglasses and a black turtleneck dress and jacket. As she left the station, she told KCAL-TV that all went smoothly.

"They were nice," she said of police. She told the station she was wearing the sunglasses because she had pinkeye.

Pleads Not Guilty

Foxy Brown

Foxy Brown was singing a different tune Tuesday when she showed up in court four days after refusing to appear to face assault charges.

The 28-year-old rapper, who is serving a year at Rikers Island prison for violating probation, arrived at Brooklyn state Supreme Court wearing casual street clothing.

She pleaded not guilty to charges that she threw a cell phone at a neighbor who complained about the volume of her car radio. The plea was entered by her attorney, John Sampson, the district attorney's office said.

Last Friday, Brown twice refused to appear in court for her arraignment. Prosecutors rescheduled her appearance for Tuesday, warning that if she refused to show up, the court would issue an order allowing correction officers to put her in handcuffs and force her onto a bus.

Air Force Honors

Barry Williams

If Barry Williams had not become Greg Brady, he might have joined the military like his father.

Instead, the 53-year-old gained fame as the oldest of three brothers on the TV series "The Brady Bunch."

Now he's now got a new role: honorary member of the Air Force's 4th Fighter Wing's 335th Fighter Squadron.

Capt. Don Haley said Williams has been an avid supporter of the armed forces and longtime USO entertainer. The squadron surprised Williams on Friday with the recognition, which included a ride in one of the 333rd's F-15E Strike Eagles.

Studios Drop Contentious Proposal

Writers Talks

Seeking to remove a big stumbling block in stalled contract talks with Hollywood screenwriters, studio executives on Tuesday dropped a proposal to overhaul a key, decades-old source of writers' income.

The two camps have been sharply divided over the formula, first established in the 1950s, by which TV and film writers earn "residual" fees when their work goes beyond an initial broadcast or theatrical release into secondary markets such as reruns and DVDs.

The studios had been pushing to overhaul that system with a new plan that would withhold residual payments until after production, development, distribution and marketing costs are recouped.

The writers have vigorously opposed such a change, arguing they could not trust a Hollywood accounting system notorious for deliberately playing down or denying the commercial success of films when it comes to making good on profit participation.

Reason.tv kicked off with an examination of traffic congestion in Los Angeles and ways the private sector -- rather than taxpayers -- can solve the problem. Carey escorting a gridlock-plagued worker to his office via helicopter.

"We need Reason to help fight the stupid drug laws, the stupid immigration laws and stupid big government in general," said Carey, a financial backer of fellow Clevelander U.S. Sen. George Voinovich (R-Ohio), according to Federal Election Commission records.

Puts Hitler's Globe Up For Sale

John Barsamian

Days after the end of World War II, an American soldier entering the wreckage of Adolf Hitler's mountain stronghold found that fierce Allied bombing had left the "Eagle's Nest" in ruins.

Hitler was dead, and other soldiers had already looted the inside of his private residence, even stripping the leather from furniture. Nearly everything of value was gone - except for the Fuhrer's globe.

Now John Barsamian is putting the artifact up for auction, along with all the military paperwork that allowed him to bring it back to the United States, including a certificate that reads "1 Global Map, German, Hitler's Eagle Nest."

Other globes presumed to have been owned by Hitler have been extensively researched for authenticity. But there is no uncertainty about the origins of Barsamian's wartime trophy.

Cheney's Distant Cousin

Barack Obama

There's no sign of a family reunion planned, but U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney and Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama are distant cousins.

So says the vice president's wife, Lynne Cheney, who said she discovered that her husband of 43 years is eighth cousins with the senator from Illinois.

The two men could hardly be more different. Cheney is an advocate chickenhawk pursuing the war in Iraq to try to stabilize bleed the country, while Obama wants to get U.S. troops out of Iraq.

The common ancestor was Mareen Devall, who the Chicago Sun-Times said was a 17th century immigrant from France.
