Even here in Austin it's pretty stinking cold lately. So let's all bundle up in something warm, have a cuppa something, and enjoy the freshest mashups I could find. Each of these 5 is so new, you should blow on them a little to avoid burning your ears. Lets' begin with the first mix.
01-BDJ-"Country Dreamer". This just came over through my Itunes Ipod subscription. It's an amazing bootleg remix/mashup of an early seventies Macca tune. BDJ applies huge skill to this & the satisfaction arrives fully. Read
more here, and listen, or download.

04-DJ Sunsite -"Yo Diggity (LaLaLa)" (Blackstreet vs Naughty Boy vs Chris Brown vs Miley Cyrus) has a really fresh 2014 sound that grabs ya right away. Even production with fine mixing drops you a keeper that you'll repeat often.

05-JuDD3rMan 4-"American Sabbath" (Black Sabbath vs Lana Del Rey) will turn your head around with a pairing that goes successfully in different directions, yet does it in a most pleasing manner. Can you deal with classic metal with female pop vocals added? I bet you can.

Have fun with these. You would be surprised how many more new tracks came over while I dealt with just these five.
A Special Note - Someone is complaining to my hosting hourly about my Beatles mashups. This means the links for them are being removed faster than I can re-up them. If you want them now, grab them tonight ( or soon) before they're all dead. I will re-host them all once this attack is sorted.

Learn to do vocal extractions. The word behind the scenes is that acapellas will become much more scarce.
Latest Useo Thing
As you know, I like to offer y'all several styles of tracks all at once. This week I did up a punk / psychedelic track, and also a pop rock / dubstep tune. I was keen on seeing if they accrued any listeners., and if they did, which would do better? Usually, the weirder the mix, the better it does. I know, it surprises me too.
The reversal of audience preferences is even more interesting given that the Muse / Placa mix is so emotionally piercing that I myself can't hear it without tearing up. Gawrsh!

The secret is learning from your failures, which you can't do if you never fail. The ad Proctor & Gamble produced for the Sochi Olympics illustrates exactly that point. It's the practice and the failures that get you to the top. Get a hankie, since it may make you go all verklempt inside. You'll probably see a shorter version of this on TV quite a bit over the next month.

Michelle Nijhuis: One Weird Old Trick to Undermine the Patriarchy (The Last Word on Nothing)
My five-year-old insists that Bilbo Baggins is a girl. The first time she made this claim, I protested. Part of the fun of reading to your kids, after all, is in sharing the stories you loved as a child. And in the story I knew, Bilbo was a boy. A boy hobbit. (Whatever that entails.) But my daughter was determined. She liked the story pretty well so far, but Bilbo was definitely a girl. So would I please start reading the book the right way?
Where the Action Is was a music-based television variety show created by Dick Clark as a spin-off of American Bandstand. What group was the original house band?
Where the Action Is or (WTAI) was a music-based television variety show in the United States from 1965-67. It was carried by the ABC network and aired each weekday afternoon. Created by Dick Clark as a spin-off of American Bandstand, Where the Action Is premiered on June 27, 1965.
Originally intended as a summer replacement and broadcast at 2 P.M. EDT, the show was successful enough for it to continue throughout the 1965-66 TV season, with a change in time period to 4:30 P.M. Eastern time, so its young audience could continue to watch it once schools opened in September.
The program had its own stable of performers, most notably Paul Revere & the Raiders, who served as the de facto house band. When the group departed the show in 1966, they were replaced by The Robbs.

Marian was first, and correct, with:
Paul Revere and the Raiders
Charlie said:
A very great band, should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I suspect it's the uniforms that have put off the selectors, but that's a pretty dumb reason to exclude a group that had many fine songs.

I know where the action is! On a cruise ship where you can

whatever catastrophe is waiting to happen! Maybe a
radioactive sea monster will be summoned by the 50's and
60's music to put you out of your misery before the engines
fail and the plumbing backs up and you're set adrift at sea
and forced to cannibalize the band. Hurry, book your ticket!
It sets sail next week!

PS: Has anyone else noticed that the media treats us as if we were freaking imbeciles?
Today, on some local 'morning show,' a 'reporter' was sent out on the streets of Brooklyn, looking for people who were not wearing a hat or gloves!! She would pounce on them, demanding to know, 'Why?' Then, using his/her reply as an excuse to lecture us on their necessity in such extreme cold, blah, blah, blah.
For God's sake, even myself, the Goddess of Cold knows you need hat/gloves today at -4o, wcf -15! On the flip side, most were in front of their destination, or going down into the subway, etc. Contrary to the rest of the country's perception, NY'ers are not complete idiots!!
As for the temps, I Love it!
Dale of Diamond Springs Norfallcali, still, replied:
Paul Revere and the Raiders. Knew that one. They headlined a show at the Oakland Auditorium in1965. The Animals were on the same show. Much better band. Paul Revere and the Raiders were nothing but a fucking teeny-bopper band. They still suck! Now they play at the epitome of all things cool places, Branson, where the lame canned musicians go to die! Damn glad I'm one of those West Coast Weirdohs!
DJ Useo answered:
I'm not sure how I know this answer, but I'm certain it's Paul Revere and the Raiders. I actually quite enjoy their music. Especially "Kicks".
My Mother brought me home a bunch of used LP's when I was very young, and among them was a Paul Revere record. My only complaint was it was too short at 30 minutes. ( Not an unusual length for a full album back then. )
BttbBob responded:
Heck yeah, Boss, I know this one...
... not to say that I was a real big fan of their's, no... this, then, teenager thought that the uniform thing was... um... hokey. Some of their tunes were okay, some I did like... "Kicks"

I certainly identified with, as a prideful member of the Ojibwe nation, but as a teen I really didn't totally appreciate the graveness of the message... I was into girls, I guess (no, I WAS into girls - they can be very distracting, dontcha know?) Finally, I will admit that some of their stuff is on my personal 'Junior High Sound-Track'...

I always thought Mark Lindsey was 'Paul Revere'
He wasn't - 'Paul Revere' was that goofy blond guy on the organ.
HIS name really WAS Paul Revere. Paul Revere Dick.
SO, every time you saw them, you were witnessing a visual pun:
Paul Revere - organ. Get it?
Yuk yuk.
Oh those silly rock'n'roll kids!

Before we get into today's trivia let me just say I was very traumatized yesterday. Several TV channels were unavailable, no all of them, just the ones I wanted to watch. Then the Internet went down and when the Internet goes down so does the telephone. Losing the phone doesn't bother me very much because when the Internet goes down all calls are routed to my cell phone....but. With no TV and no Internet what was I to do? I went to bed, that's what. I slept for 10 hours and woke up tired and I napped all day. What's up with that? I did manage to throw some snow around though.
So. Today's question, I had to look it up. I've never heard of the show. I suppose it's because I was too busy protecting the world through Mutually Assured Destruction and baby-sitting Weapons of Mass Destruction to pay much attention to teen-age shows on TV. But the answer is Paul Revere & the Raiders of who I vaguely remember. Not a band I was interested in, I'm sure. Yeah, just looked them up on YouTube, don't like them. More interested in Mo Town, Beatles, Bob Dylan and Joan Baez in those days. Gotta go, Rachel's been on for 15 minutes.
Waves crash into the Grand Haven, MI breakwater outer lighthouse on Lake Michigan during the recent arctic blast... I was CG stationed there and saw the breakwater and light like this up close and personal. Very dangerous going out there. Grand Haven was designated "Coast Guard City, USA" by an act of congress due to a long association with the CG, particularly being the long time home port of the USCGC Escanaba which was torpedoed and sunk by a German U-boat in June '43 with the loss of all hands but two while on convoy duty in the North Atlantic...

Actress Lily Tomlin has married her longtime partner and comedy collaborator Jane Wagner, Tomlin's publicist said on Tuesday.
Tomlin, 74, married Wagner, 78, on New Year's Eve at a private ceremony in Los Angeles after 42 years of being together, Jennifer Allen said.
Same-sex marriage became legal again in California last June, after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that allowed an appellate court's order striking down the state's ban to stand.
Tomlin and Wagner shared Emmy awards in 1974, 1976 and 1981 for their work on writing comedy variety TV programs starring Tomlin, who rose to fame in the 1970s with her characters on the sketch comedy show "Laugh-In."
Cast members of the HBO show Girls (L-R) Jemima Kirke, Lena Dunham, Allison Williams, and Zosia Mamet arrive for the premiere of the third season of the show in New York January 6, 2014.

After weeks of speculation, Stan Lee has confirmed that he will appear in an upcoming episode of ABC's Marvel's Agents of SHIELD.
While details on just whom he will play are unclear, Lee -- who also serves as an executive producer on the freshman series -- tells The Hollywood Reporter that it's a "big role." The episode -- see the first-look photo above -- will most likely air Feb. 4, though that is subject to change.
Lee has made what he calls "a million cameos" in various Marvel movies, from the Iron Man trilogy to The Avengers to the various Spider-Man films. Among the Marvel features he's appeared in, he's always played featured extras with minor speaking roles, including a mailman and a rejected wedding guest in the two Fantastic Four movies.
His TV appearances have included a stint as himself on The Big Bang Theory.
It was supposed to be just another pretend exam to help train medical students. But this one proved to be anything but typical.
University of Virginia medical student Ryan Jones was performing what was supposed to be a pretend examination on Jim Malloy. (Medical schools commonly employ actors who pretend to have symptoms for students to diagnose.)
This one got real, real quick. When Jones began conducting the physical exam, he found that Malloy's real-life symptoms matched the pretend malady he was claiming to have ? an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). An AAA isn't life threatening if found before it ruptures, according to the National Institutes of Health. But less than 80 percent of people survive a ruptured abdominal aneurysm.
CBS News reported that Malloy had surgery to remove the aneurysm in August and recovered.
NBCUniversal has raised eyebrows with its decision to transmit every competition in the next month's Winter Olympics from Sochi, Russia, live via digital means. But at least one part of the grand athletic cavalcade is being reserved for TV alone.
The opening ceremonies will be broadcast on NBC on Friday, Feb. 7, and will not be live-streamed, NBCU executives said Tuesday at a press event. "We want to put context to it, with the full pageantry it deserves," said Mark Lazarus, chairman of NBC Sports Group.
He said executives believed an unvarnished live stream of the colorful ceremonies would not make sense without description. What's more, the company feels the opening-ceremony telecast is enjoyed by families who gather together, making it a natural for the boob-tube.
Of course, keeping the opening ceremonies for TV broadcast only is likely to ensure a higher rating for the broadcast, which is slated to last from 7:30 p.m. eastern to 11:30 p.m. Matt Lauer, Meredith Vieira and Bob Costas are slated to host the event, along with New Yorker editor David Remnick, who has been hired as a special correspondent of sorts for the NBCU Olympics broadcasts.

"Transformers" director Michael Bay says he's embarrassed that he walked off the stage during a presentation of Samsung's new curved ultra-high-definition television.
Video of the cringe-worthy incident at the International CES gadget show in Las Vegas circulated on social media sites late Monday and early Tuesday. In a statement posted online and confirmed by Bay's production company, Bay says: "I guess live shows aren't my thing."
The video shows Bay start to speak, then stop when the presenter speaks. Bay resumes speaking, then stops again, saying the teleprompter isn't working correctly.
Bay and the presenter then attempt to talk off-the-cuff about the 105-inch TV, but the flustered director apologizes and abruptly leaves the stage.
The United States sometimes uses the official name Myanmar instead of Burma as a "diplomatic courtesy" to the Asian country, the State Department said Monday, in a sign of rapprochement.
Military leaders changed the official name to "Myanmar" in 1989, saying that the old term "Burma" was a sorry legacy of British colonialism and implied that the ethnically torn land belonged only to the Burman majority.
But the opposition and exiles fiercely opposed the change, seeing it as a symbolic step to create an entirely new country, and the United States has stood in solidarity by calling the nation Burma.
On Friday, however, Secretary of State John Kerry twice referred to "Myanmar" in a statement marking the country's independence day. The statement made no mention of "Burma."

Sixty-two percent of Spaniards want their country's scandal-hit King Juan Carlos to abdicate and fewer than half support the monarchy in general, a poll published on Sunday showed.
A majority however support his son and heir Felipe and believe he could restore the family's prestige, according to the study by pollster Sigma Dos for El Mundo newspaper.
Juan Carlos, who turned 76 on Sunday, has seen his popularity plunge over the past three years, largely due to a corruption scandal centred on his son-in-law and a luxury elephant-hunting trip the king made to Africa in 2012.
General support for the monarchy as an institution, however, fell below half to 49.9 percent, according to the poll.
Juan Carlos is widely respected for his role in Spain's transition to democracy after the death of dictator General Francisco Franco in 1975, but the king's image has been tarnished in recent years.
Emmy-nominated actress Carmen Zapata, who started a foundation to promote Hispanic writers because jobs were so scarce, has died of heart problems, colleagues say. She was 86.
Zapata died Sunday at her Van Nuys-area home, said Luis Vela, marketing manager for the Bilingual Foundation of the Arts in Los Angeles.
Zapata started her career in 1945 in the Broadway musical "Oklahoma" and went on to perform in "Bells Are Ringing," ''Guys and Dolls" and many plays.
Zapata had continuing TV roles in "The Man and the City" and "The New Dick Van Dyke Show." She sang in several other musicals, including "Bloomer Girl." ''No Strings," ''Show Boat," ''Stop the World, I Want to Get Off" and "Funny Girl."
Born in New York City of Mexican-Argentinian descent, Zapata joined forces with Cuban-born actress, playwright and director Margarita Galban to found the Bilingual Foundation of the Arts in 1973.
The organization produces four plays a year that are presented at its 99-seat theatre. Productions alternate in English and Spanish, with some shows taken on the road by production companies.
Zapata collected Emmy nominations for best supporting actress in a segment of "Medical Center" and for "Carola" on "Hollywood TV Theatre."
Sir Run Run Shaw, one of the pioneers of the 20th century Chinese film industry, has died age 106.
Shaw, who co-founded the Shaw Brothers film studio with his brother Runme, had been involved in the film industry in Shanghai and Singapore since age 19.
The Shaw Brothers company was in its heyday in the 1960s and 1970s and was influential in both the Asian and Western film industries. He personally has credits on some 360 films, ranging from martial arts classics to Ridley Scott's "Blade Runner".
Shaw was also founder in 1967 of Television Broadcasts (TVB), Hong Kong's dominant free-to-air broadcaster and still one of the major forces of content production and talent management in the region.
Born in 1907 in Ningbo, China as Shao Ren Leng, Shaw was one of six sons. He followed his third brother to Singapore to start the Shaw Organization - a company still bears that name today - and in the 1930s formed first the Tian Yi Film company in Shanghai and then the South Seas Film studio in Hong Kong.
After WWII and the upheavals in China of the late 1940s Hong Kong - and to a lesser extent Singapore - became the centers of the Chinese film industry. Shaw Studios was active in both places.
Between 1947 and 1972 Shaw and rival Cathay were dominant in the Singapore films industry, producing up to 20 films per year, and giving rise to the "golden era" of Singapore cinema, often also known as the "Studio Era". While the producers were Chinese, Shaw typically employed directing talent from around the region to make his pictures.
In later life Run Run Shaw, spent more time on charity and philanthropical activities. He endowed major three prizes for astronomy, mathematics and life and medical sciences.
Shaw received a knighthood from the British government in 1977 and was awarded Hong Kong's top honor the Grand Bauhinia Medal from the new Hong Kong SAR government in 1998.
Shaw's birthday and his exact age have long been clouded in mystery - his widow Mona Shaw (aka Mona Fong) has often refused to clarify the issue - and other sources put his age at 107.
He died at 6.55am local time in Hong Kong on Jan 7, 2014.
