Psychos, Lunatics and Crazy Ghosts (A Copycat Mash)
Yup, it's that time of year again... Couldn't be bothered to do a new Halloween mash right now. So here's an old one on the matter. Hope you're cool with that.

Time for my personal top 10 for October - as seen/heard on AudioPorn Central.com. For the full, aggregate AudioPorn Central Top 10 - have a look here.
Proud to say my mash-up with Billy Idol, RHCP, Bon Jovi and a few others made it to #4 on that list!
Thank you all!
#01 Magic Kids - Hey Boy [link] Happy-go-lucky sunshine pop from Memphis, Tennessee. Reads like the Beach Boys hooking up with the other Spector, not ours. Pure pop bliss! #02 The Found Sound Orchestra - The Sound of the Sun Falling [link] Mr 9 is back - and I’m wondering: who the fuck are The Avalanches ??!! #03 Röyksopp - This Must Be It (Rex The Dog K-DART Remix) [link] How can you go wrong with an equation comprising Röyksopp, Rex the Dog AND Karin??!! #04 The Phenomenal Handclap Band - 15 to 20 (Soundhog’s Extended Mix) [link] Epic 12 minute electro odyssey from a first class bastard. #05 Retro/Grade - Zoid [link] Tom Neville and Serge Santiago’s own little Pulstar pastiche. Fresh sounding space electro taking you straight back to the glory days of Italo. #06 Saint Etienne - Only Love Can Break Your Heart (Richard X Extended Vocal mix) [link] Sarah Cracknell’s been breaking my heart from the word go. Nothing’s changed - except we’ve got a brill new remix by the X. #07 Duck Sauce - aNYway [link] Armand Van Helden and A-Track go bonkers NY disco funk style. Very very good. #08 David Turpin - The Bone Dance [link] Moody electro pop. Just what the doctor ordered. Very addictive. #09 Local Natives - Camera Talk [link] Arcade Fire on happier pills. Possibly visiting the beach. Or the Beach Boys…. #10 Mumford & Sons - The Cave [link] Michael Stipe moves to London and starts a folk band. Kinda. Very good.
The good folks over at Mashstix made "The Other Wedding Song", my remix/mash-up with Billy Idol, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Black Eyed Peas, Madonna, and Bon Jovi, their no.1 in their weekly Top 10 Countdown show, the Radio Stix show!
Mashuptalk is a feature on Mashuptown hosted by Chris DeLine of Culture Bully fame that puts the spotlight on an individual bootlegger, revealing their roots, their history, and their influences.
The Other Wedding Song (A Copycat Mash) [Billy Idol/RHCP/Bon Jovi/BEP/Madonna]
Here's a little left-over from that Mash Cup Clash thing.
A bit of cosy electro soul about love gone awry. Not as horrible as the sources may imply...

July 2009, Pedalo Towers, bubble bath, Mr Matey, best rubber ducky, I sat, soul searching, wondering how was I to follow the success of '72', revitalize the genre of mash-up and save the universe, then rubber ducky turned to me and spoke these words "make them fight... to the death" eurika! I would take 12 of the worlds greatest mash-up gladiators and have them compete in a knock out competition to find the worlds greatest mash-up artist, 72 hours each, no holds barred. and so began;
- Each pair of artists had 72 hours, to do no more than 3 minutes of mashed audio in each round, 4 minutes the final. - There were no rules on content, but submissions had to be new, and not released anywhere before. - No choke holds, no gouging.
My contribution? ABC's "The Look of Love" vs Survivor's "The Eye of the Tiger". How did I do? Hmm... man, look at that weather... Sure is raining, innit?
