As mashups seep into the normal listening habits of everyday people, it's more of a regular experience to hear them on fm and online stations. For those of you who enjoy this trend, the odds have tipped in your favor.
Global DJ Network is now broadcasting daily exclusive radio shows. With DJ'S literally drawn from a global community, the forum/radio station has started providing some of the freshest and articulate bootleg and dance programming available. The forum is dedicated to long mixes, mashups and remixes, which provides much of the content that you will hear. Anyone who goes to
www.globaldjnetwork.com/community/index.php can click on the radio link of your choice & be instantly in touch with todays' best bastard pop music.
Through mutual dedication to music as a form of expression, the members of the forum divvied up the week days for individual radio shows, so that each day of the week features programming by DJ"s drawn from this site.
There are no annoying commercials on their station, just live mixing, some DJ hosting, and a station identification, to remind you who's paying the bills. The DJ'S draw on their experience at crowd pleasing from club shows, and earlier radio gigs. I've been listening to splendid beat-driven, effects-laden jams
from a group of people who excel with tunes. Let's take a look at the people you'll hear if you tune in.
A regular sound heard on Global DJ Network is SFreeman41, and his ability to manage any music and make it sizzle.
From the newest drum and bass remixes to early 80's new wave he's been playing each genre with strong ability and getting many return listeners.
Another headliner is Corrupt DJ'S, a duo who regularly play live shows to substantial crowds. The mixers, Kitchmix and Polyfonics, bring the flavor of their live shows to
GDJN, with heavy beats and mega-mixing. Perfect for a Friday night dancefest.
Guv'nor, hailing from 'Down Under', is my regular habit on Saturdays. He plays dance mashups of the electro sort, then turns around and keeps you dancing with exciting hip hop remixes. Guv'nor is no stranger to online radio, having provided good shows for sometime. Now the Guv'nor habit spreads, as he begins a local residency. Congrats, Guv.
Maddoginc, is the head admin of the site, along with giving the site a home, he blows listeners away with a battery of explosive house, electro, and everything else. Adept at spinning, he'll turn you around just like a turntable.
Pellapushers plays a show with incredible fresh dance mashups like you'd hear at the hottest bootleg club show. As his name inplies, he has a way with grafting familiar vocals into unfamiliar situations. Not to be missed.
Aekon has rockin' mashups, and the best hard-edged boots you've ever slam-danced around a room to. Aekon plays rock on rock mashes with the ease of a practiced fm hand. He plays on Global DJ Network, as well as a commercial radio station in the U.S. You ain't heard nothing like this yet, unless of course you live in CLeveland, Ohio, where he has broadcast to acclaim for several years.
DogCore deals out all kinds of music, with one thing in mind, attention grabbing, satisfying tunes. If he dips back in time to the 80's, you know it's for a great 12 inch, and if he veers forward into the future, it's for the latest hot remix.
DOttysmash covers club oriented mashups, and remixes, the kind that make you wear out your shoes. Along with that, he also provides wonderful picture promos for the other DJ'S for their shows. When it comes to inspiring people to listen to this site, Dotty is a solid choice.
Sometimes there are shows by Tizwarz, with a hip hop slant, sometimes DJ Petrushka plays, with the hottest mashes, old and new, and sometimes you will hear me, DJ Useo with the more unusual side of bootlegs. If the thought of online mashup and remix shows appeals to you, this is a sure-fire winner for you. Check the radio schedule there, or simply tune in any evening. Bookmark & you'll be glad.
Mix of the Week - Inaminute's MINDSUCKER mix is your best bet for solid mixing, sensational
Techno/electro-house, dubstep break, electro-house/techno & the only mix you can find Inaminute featured in, which is a BIG selling point.

Mashup Tip: Wearing silk pajamas assures the best beat-matching. Sleep & mix, I say.

It was what we did every Saturday night. Before we discovered dating, drugs, and delinquency, the pre-adolescents of the '60s and '70s sat down in front of the boob tube with complete parental guidance and gave Carol Burnett and her merry band of parody pranksters 50 minutes of our undivided attention.

ducks answered:
I cheated…I was going to guess Pete Seeger but I wasn't 100% sure. So I looked it up (actually I typed it in and Yahoo came up with 693,000 hits which I thought was woefully low) and it was the original protest hero, Woody Guthrie. Pete wasn't far behind, but Woody was standing tall for the common man when my parents (born in the 00s) were young. I wonder what Woody would have thought of the fascists in power today.
ps - my parents married late. ;-)
PURPLE GENE responded:
AMERICAN FOLK MUSICIAN WOODY GUTHRIE....WROTE "THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND" AS HE TRAVERSED THE UNITED STATED DURING AND AFTER THE GREAT DEPRESSION.
HE IS THE FATHER OF ARLO GUTHRIE ("ALICE'S RESTAURANT")
HE WAS A HERO TO BOB DYLAN ("SONG TO WOODY")
HE WAS A FRIEND TO RAMBLIN' JACK ELLIOTT.
HE HAD "THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS" PROMINENTLY DISPLAYED ON HIS GUITAR.
THE ANSWER IS C.....WOODY GUTHRIE
Michael Dare said:
Woody Guthrie, though it was also on the young Bob Dylan's guitar in the film "I'm Not There."
Vic in AK replied:
Answer is C: Woody Guthrie
I should recuse myself from this one, I dated Arlo Guthries' wife's best friend "Crazy" Karen for years and we would regularly visit Arlo and the clan when they lived in Washington, Ma the next town over from us in Hinsdale. Dude would carry on for hours about his dad .
Side note, "Crazy" Karen was in Alice's Restaurant the movie(OK someone played her in the movie because at the time of filming she was dating the Grateful Dead). In one scene Arlo is getting ready to drive down to New York City where his dad is gravely ill, Karen asks "what's wrong with him?" to which Arlo responds "He has Huntington's Chorea" and Karen misunderstanding what he said or just having her synapses misfire goes "Oh, did he get it in the war?"(Chorea/Korea?) based on true events.
To Sally! You miss the awesome(and some not so) street musicians from Washington Square? I miss the loose joints for a dollar...I KID!!!!!
Sally said:
Who else would have done this? C: Woody Guthrie (C) had a guitar with a sign that read: "This machine kills fascists!"
Loved Woody, Arlo (his son), Johnny Hallyday (AKA Jean-Philippe Smet), Joan, Jerry, and Pete - a lot!
You see, back in the day, it wasn't about politics - the music was about Unions, Anti-materialism, and Peace.
PS: I did get to hear Joan Baez in concert just before my trip to Denver. She was appearing at a local northern NJ theater, and still packs the house. Her voice has dropped a register or two, but she's still spot on the tunes, and continues to be gorgeous!
Jim D answered:
Woody Guthrie. Later Donovan Leitch had his homogenized version "This Machine Kills."
socdan, experiencing a bit o'synchronicity, replied:
Just this weekend there was an advertisement in the SF Chron for a one-man show about Woodie Guthrie, and in the picture accompanying the ad was Woody (or the actor playing him - I don't really know what Woody looks like) with his guitar and a sticker on it that said This Machine Kills Fascists. I may infer that at least "C" is correct. It apparently made an impression. I would not have known this bit of trivia (trivium? triviality?) if I hadn't serendipitously paid attention to the ad in the paper. Cheers.
That MadCat, JD responded:
WOODY GUTHRIE.

Stephen Colbert, the host of his own Comedy Central show, Emmy winner, faux presidential candidate and best-selling author, added to that esteemed collection an award from Princeton University: "The Great Princeton Class of 2008 Understandable Vanity Award."
The award was mounted on a mirror.
"I have to say, I've never seen anything more beautiful," Colbert on Monday told the 2,611 Princeton graduates-to-be assembled at Class Day, which is held each year the day before commencement.
During his speech, Colbert - in character as a right-wing, blowhard political commentator - tweaked the customary message of graduation speeches by imploring students to maintain the status quo.
After months of negotiations, the voice cast of Fox's long-running animated series "The Simpsons" reached a new four-year deal with the studio during the weekend.
Under the pact, the top actors will be paid nearly $400,000 per episode. While this is lower than the reported $500,000 the cast originally sought, it remains a significant increase from their current paychecks of about $300,000 an episode. (By contrast, Charlie Sheen is the highest-paid sitcom star, reportedly earning $350,000 per episode in 2006.)
Additionally, Dan Castellaneta, who voices Homer Simpson and has penned several "Simpsons" episodes over the years, is being named a consulting producer.
Castellaneta and most of the other key "Simpsons" voice players -- Julie Kavner (Marge), Nancy Cartwright (Bart), Yeardley Smith (Lisa) and Hank Azaria (Moe) -- are slated to begin work on the upcoming 20th season Tuesday.
As of Monday, the status of Harry Shearer, who voices Mr. Burns and Ned Flanders, among other characters, was unclear. Because of a last-minute snag, his deal did not close with the other cast members', and it was not clear if he would show up for work on Tuesday.

NBA star Steve Nash, comedy troupe The Kids in the Hall, singer kd lang, model Daria Werbowy and filmmaker James Cameron are among the latest inductees to Canada's Walk of Fame.
But of all the stars set to be recognized for their impressive contributions to the worlds of sports, entertainment and the arts, the Walk of Fame's founding director said one star had far and away the most nominations for this year's honour - Frances Bay.
The 90-year-old actress is affectionately known as "Hollywood's Grandma" for her string of old lady characters.
The Winnipeg performer didn't start acting until age 60, but has racked up an impressive resume that includes film and TV roles in "Happy Gilmore," "Seinfeld," "ER", "Road to Avonlea" and "Hannah Montana."
John LeSieur is in the software business, so he took particular interest when computers seemed mostly useless to his 6-year-old grandson, Zackary. The boy has autism, and the whirlwind of options presented by PCs so confounded him that he threw the mouse in frustration.
LeSieur tried to find online tools that could guide autistic children around the Web, but he couldn't find anything satisfactory. So he had one built, named it the Zac Browser For Autistic Children in honor of his grandson, and is making it available to anyone for free.
LeSieur's quest is a reminder that while the Web has created important communication and educational opportunities for some people with cognitive impairments, computers can also introduce new headaches for families trying to navigate the contours of disability.
The Zac Browser greatly simplifies the experience of using a computer. It seals off most Web sites from view, to block violent, sexual or otherwise adult-themed material. Instead it presents a hand-picked slate of choices from free, public Web sites, with an emphasis on educational games, music, videos and visually entertaining images, like a virtual aquarium.
David Byrne, whose band Talking Heads once sang about "Burning Down the House," is now playing the building.
Using a revamped antique pedal organ, Byrne has transformed the empty Battery Maritime Building into a musical instrument that visitors can play.
The "Playing the Building" art installation centers on the organ, which sprouts colorful tubes that lead to metal beams, columns, pipes, electrical conduits and other elements of the building. Pressing a key triggers different sounds throughout, such as clanking hammers on pipes or a motor vibrating against ceiling beams.
The installation, which originally was on display in Stockholm a few years ago, will be in New York until August 10.

Actor Rupert Everett has criticised Americans in an interview with a TV listings magazine.
Everett told the magazine: "I'm totally off the States now. The reaction to 9/11 and then George Bush - really, they've got very blobby as a nation.
"When I was a kid, the British were blobby, and you'd go to New York where anything went and everyone was excited and casual and friendly, and you were just dying to get away from this British hellhole where an avocado was the most exciting thing you'd ever seen.
"Now they (the Americans) are whiny victims whose language is entirely taken from two TV shows - Friends and Sex And The City - and there's nothing sexy about them any more."
Brigitte Bardot was convicted Tuesday of provoking discrimination and racial hatred for writing that Muslims are destroying France.
A Paris court also handed down a $23,325 fine against the former screen siren and animal rights campaigner. The court also ordered Bardot to pay $1,555 in damages to MRAP.
In the December 2006 letter to Sarkozy, now the president, Bardot said France is "tired of being led by the nose by this population that is destroying us, destroying our country by imposing its acts."
Bardot, 73, was referring to the Muslim feast of Aid el-Kebir, celebrated by slaughtering sheep.

Top U.S. cable operators Comcast Corp and Time Warner Cable Inc will begin testing ways this week to limit individual subscribers who use the largest amount of Internet capacity in an effort to protect their high-speed networks.
The moves are a response to government inquiries as well as the heavy costs of upgrading existing broadband infrastructure due to the explosion of downloading and watching music and videos.
Time Warner Cable said it will launch a service on Thursday that charges new consumers of high-speed Internet service based on their usage. Broadband subscribers in Beaumont, Texas, will be charged $1 per gigabyte above monthly allowances, a company spokesman said.
Separately, Comcast said it has changed the way it will manage network traffic and begin a test to slow the transfer of files to individual subscribers who are its heaviest users during congested periods.
Exxon Mobil Corp is returning to PBS as a national sponsor, renewing its financial relationship with the public television broadcaster four years after it ended its backing of "Masterpiece Theatre."
Exxon Mobil, the world's largest publicly traded company, will partially underwrite the news program "Nightly Business Report" and the science series "NOVA" starting June 9, PBS said on Tuesday.
Until Exxon stopped sponsoring "Masterpiece Theatre" in 2004, the oil company had doled out more than $250 million to sponsor the PBS Sunday drama series over more than 30 years. This time around, Exxon Mobil will sponsor two shows with closer ties to business and science for PBS.
The sponsorship deals come at a time when Exxon is taking in big earnings -- and scrutiny from politicians and consumer groups -- from sky-high oil prices. In the first quarter alone, it reported a profit of nearly $11 billion, the second-highest for any company in U.S history.
Tatum O'Neal told a newspaper columnist she is grateful to the New York City police officers who busted her for cocaine and saved her from herself.
"I'm still sober!" the 44-year-old actress told New York Post columnist Andrea Peyser in a phone call shortly after being released from custody Monday.
"Just when I was about to change that and wreck my life, the cops came and saved me! I was saved by the bell, by the guys in the Seventh Precinct."
O'Neal is due back in court July 28 to face a misdemeanor charge of possession of a controlled substance.

The birth of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's twins is turning into the type of mystery that might make a good movie one day.
The executive producer for "Entertainment Tonight" said Monday that she wanted to "see how this story plays out" before retracting a report that the twins had been born, despite a denial from Pitt's manager and a claim that someone might be posing as Jolie's personal assistant to fool reporters.
Rival news organizations quickly shot the story down. The Associated Press, which had picked up the "Entertainment Tonight" report after talking to executives at the show about their source, later quoted Pitt's manager saying the "ET" story was not true.
In the world of celebrity journalism, it may be the biggest story of the year.
Call it poetic justice: More than two dozen young people who broke into Robert Frost's former home for a beer party and trashed the place are being required to take classes in his poetry as part of their punishment.
The vandalism occurred at the Homer Noble Farm in Ripton, where Frost spent more than 20 summers before his death in 1963. Now owned by Middlebury College, the unheated farmhouse on a dead-end road is used occasionally by the college and is open in the warmer months.
On Dec. 28, a 17-year-old former Middlebury College employee decided to hold a party and gave a friend $100 to buy beer. Word spread. Up to 50 people descended on the farm, the revelry turning destructive after a chair broke and someone threw it into the fireplace.
When it was over, windows, antique furniture and china had been broken, fire extinguishers discharged, and carpeting soiled with vomit and urine. Empty beer cans and drug paraphernalia were left behind. The damage was put at $10,600.

Born Melchor Gaston Ferrer on Aug. 25, 1917, in Elberon, N.J., Ferrer was the son of a Cuban-born doctor and a socialite mother. He grew up in comfortable surroundings, attending private schools and Princeton University.
After winning a playwright's award in his sophomore year, Ferrer left Princeton to write a novel in Mexico. Instead he wrote a children's book, "Tito's Hats," which was published by Doubleday.
He spent a year as a book editor in New York, then began his acting career as a dancer in Broadway musicals. He acted in plays and on radio and directed a Hollywood movie, "Girl of the Limberlost."
Back in New York, he starred in the play "Strange Fruit," about a lynching in the South, and directed Jose Ferrer (no relation) in "Cyrano de Bergerac." His first major film role was in 1949's "Lost Boundaries," playing a light-skinned African-American doctor who passed for white in a New Hampshire town.
Artist Alton Kelley, who created the psychedelic style of posters and other art associated with the 1960s San Francisco rock scene, has died. He was 67.
The artwork that Kelley and his lifelong collaborator, Stanley Mouse, churned out from their studio, a converted firehouse where Janis Joplin first rehearsed with Big Brother and the Holding Company, was iconic. It include dozens of classic rock posters, including the famous Grateful Dead "skull and roses" poster designed for a show at the Avalon Ballroom, as well as posters and album covers for Journey, Steve Miller, Jimi Hendrix and The Beatles.
Born on June 17, 1940, Kelley met Mouse in 1965, at the epicenter of the hippie movement - San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district - and soon recognized their ability to work together, in their words "riffing off each other's giggle."
In recent years, Kelley's artwork focused on paintings of hot rods and custom cars, which were sold as fine art and printed on T-shirts.
He is survived by his wife Marguerite Trousdale Kelley; their children Patty, Yosarian and China; his mother, his sister and two grandchildren.
