I’m mentioned in the newspaper twice this week. Once on the Baltimore City Paper’s Short List, where they bump Therapy Session (look for my two-hour set in the lounge), and once in the Washington Post Weekend section, where my weekly downtempo/dubstep happy hour is highlighted.

beatbots spring mix trade album cover My submission to the Beatbots Spring 2008 Mix Trade. The cover art was designed in Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 (LOL) per the instructions outlined in the album cover generator meme.

The mix is about sixteen minutes long, and is just dubstep with some sloppy scratching and transitions. It is thrown together haphazardly, but is still fun. All the tracks here are old because I haven’t purchased dubstep records in a long time (basically since October I think!)

My brother started getting into mashups and wanted to make one based on Outkast’s “Roses”. I recommended using ODB’s “Got Your Money” vs. Busta Rhymes’ “Dangerous”. Here’s the result:
Baby, I Got Your Dangerous Roses

What’s amazing is that he made this using free on-line software called Jamglue.

A review of my Tip Drill mix from Barbara, posted on a mailing list I subscribe to:

WOW! The ultimate ADD mix!

[…]

I jogged to this on my iPod and my head nearly exploded because I was trainspotting so hard.

One of the many things that this geezer likes about the younger set today is that they don’t think that ‘old music’ sucks just because it is old. Nice stuff featuring Jacko and Nirvana, among a cast of thousands. The older material isn’t so jarringly amongst some of the newer tracks, or the tracks of different genres. I’m not so much up on the new hip-hop-influenced material, so a set list would be welcome. (If you can. There probably is 25 different tracks which comprise a 40 min. set!)

Thanks, Barbara!

funk the war So last night, after Beyond, I went to Five, and then around midnight I got an MP3 CDs to mix for an anti-war protest this Friday. I spent about 10 minutes reviewing the tracks, and then I pressed record. This is now the “official soundtrack” which is kind of weird. I think if I had more time (to learn the tracks and to find higher-bitrate samples) I could do a lot better. Anyway, the mix is only on sendspace for now.
