M Is FOR MASHUP - RERUN - from August 25th, 2010

Totally Trippy Mashups

By DJ Useo



Here we are again. Just as every year before this one, I've mixed up an entire albums' worth of way psychedelic mashups. Also, just as before, I did it because of the influence of people like you. Don't think it was a hardship though, it was truly a labor of love. I took my time over the past year & even replaced many of the tracks as the album evolved.




As before, it has a wide range of material going from sixties' psych-rock to goa to rave and more. I took pity on your ears a couple times with an actually mellow track, but most live up to the 'intense' part of the name. I got the chance to run nearly all the tracks past some top names in the bootleg field, so these are already tested tracks that passed the exam. I'm powerful confident you'll find plenty to enjoy. Here's the playlist -





DJ Useo - Intense Psychedelia 4 playlist



    01 - Poison Kryptonite (3 Doors Down vs The Prodigy)




    02 - Tambo For A Ride (Bob Dylan vs The Wildflowers)




    03 - 14th St. Comes Today (Gorillaz vs Beastie Boys)




    04 - Beyond The World Destruction (Time Zone vs Indica)




    05 - The Only Disease I Know (The Charlatans vs Breakbeat Era)




    06 - She Blinded Me With Wirdo Birdo (Thomas Dolby vs Flyby)




    07 - Bright Green Color (The Heartthrobs vs PTX vs Onyx)




    08 - Beat Temptation (DJ Useo Backmask Remix)




    09 - The Waiting Drop (Cornelius vs Genesis)




    10 - Date With The Computer Virus (Twilight vs Yeah Yeah Yeahs)




    11 - Kinky Jingo (Happy Mondays vs Fatboy Slim)




    12 - Kidney Bingos Zoo (Wire vs Razors Edge)




    13 - Nights I Dont Miss You (The Shoes vs Psytour)




    14 - Narcosis Traits (Robyn Hitchcock vs Bill Nelson)

There's also a 23-minute mix of the whole album for those who want to check out IP4 first before committing to the entire file. I yielded to peer pressure and raised the mp3 bitrate to the max for the album cuts. Hope you find favour in the album. Tell your friends!














Mix Of The Week

Eve Massacres' 'No Sleep Till Xanadu' is 84 minutes of variety mixed by the practiced hand of a top bootleg mixer. She shares her love of music with tracks by Timo Maas, Peter Horrevorts, Jason Taylor, Noisettees and many more. A splendid listen.grab it here

A Gesture of Repair (velveteenrabbi.blogs.com/)
Last week, a drunk man barged into the Al-Iman masjid in Astoria, Queens, and urinated on the prayer rugs. … On Friday, I posted to this blog and to twitter asking for donations toward reimbursing the mosque for the costs of steam-cleaning their prayer rugs. My hope was to raise a few hundred bucks as a gesture of interfaith good will, a way of showing this one Muslim community that the actions of that drunk man do not represent the beliefs of most Americans. Over the course of two days, more than a thousand US dollars poured in to my bank account.


Robert Nagle: Interview with Jack Matthews 5 (Cultural and Literary Trends)
In many ways, I'm a dinosaur - although a happy one.

I once wrote a short story featuring Tommy T. and Trixie Triceratops. I sent it out and it was rejected as being "too silly"-but of course that's what I INTENDED! Ah, well.


Erika Dreifus: "Crafting the Personal Essay: An Interview with Dinty W. Moore" (scroll down)
I've noticed that the world of literary or creative nonfiction has been dividing itself as of late into two distinct camps: memoir and narrative journalism.

"'Scott Pilgrim's Finest Hour' (Scott Pilgrim #06): by Bryan Lee O'Malley": A review by Chris Bolton
Now that the hype has died down and the movie is long gone from theaters (check it out in second run; it's a guaranteed good time), we can take a nice, deep, relaxing breath and get some perspective on Bryan Lee O'Malley's Scott Pilgrim series. The sixth and final graphic novel, Scott Pilgrim's Finest Hour, was published to much fanfare in August, and brings the story to a very satisfying, if not senses-shattering, close.


Roger Ebert: Claude Chabrol, RIP. The death of a master

Lithuanian Gifts Baltimore

Frank Zappa

American musician Frank Zappa is to be honoured with a statue in his hometown of Baltimore created by fans from Lithuania, an ex-Soviet Baltic state Zappa never visited during his life-time.

The statue, to be unveiled on Sunday, is a replica of one that has been standing in the Baltic state's capital Vilnius since 1995, a photo artist behind the idea, Saulius Paukstys, told AFP on Tuesday.

Paukstys was one of a group of enthusiasts who established a Frank Zappa fan club in Lithuania 15 years ago.

After consulting an American diplomat, the Lithuanians chose Zappa's hometown of Baltimore to host the monument, instead of Los Angeles where Zappa spent most of his life and died in 1993 aged 52.

One Day Record Set

'Jeopardy!'

A University of Delaware graduate student who made a bold bet has become the biggest one-day winner in the history of the game show "Jeopardy!"

Roger Craig earned $77,000 on Tuesday's telecast. He beat the $75,000 standard set more than six years ago by legendary "Jeopardy!" champ Ken Jennings.

Craig finished the regular part of the game with $47,000 and bet $30,000 on the category "Literary and Movie Title Objects." The clue was: "The inspiration for this title object in a novel and a 1957 movie actually spanned the Mae Khlung River."

The 33-year-old correctly replied, "What is 'The Bridge on the River Kwai'?"

70th Tribute Concert

John Lennon

Celebrations to mark the 70th anniversary of John Lennon's birth will include a benefit concert in New York, organizers said on Tuesday.

Among the musicians slated to pay tribute to the former Beatle at the November 12 concert at New York's Beacon Theater are Jackson Browne, Patti Smith, Cyndi Lauper, Aimee Mann and Shelby Lynne.

Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono, is expected to mark the anniversary day in Iceland, where she will light the Imagine Peace Tower memorial located on the island of Vioey, near the Reykjavik.

Ono's "We Are Plastic Ono Band" has also planned tribute shows expected to feature guests Lady Gaga and Iggy Pop in Los Angeles on October 1 and 2, while on October 5 she will help release eight reissued solo albums plus new collections called the "John Lennon Signature Box."

Proceeds from the concert will be donated to the Playing for Change Foundation, a charity which promotes peace through music and builds music schools in the developing world.

Spike Lee

Spike Lee will direct a live webcast of a concert featuring John Legend and the Roots.

The concert, to be held in New York on Sept. 23, is the second part of "Unstaged," a live concert series presented by American Express. The first was an Arcade Fire concert, whose webcast in August from Madison Square Garden was directed by Terry Gilliam.

The live stream will be webcast on YouTube, via the music video website Vevo. Various interactive elements will also be offered, including an option for viewers to select their camera view.

"It's not necessarily a Spike Lee joint," Lee said. "It's a John Legend and the Roots joint."

Gets 8 Weeks

George Michael

George Michael was sentenced to eight weeks in jail and lost his license for five years Tuesday for driving under the influence of drugs when he crashed his car into a London photo shop.

The former Wham! singer pleaded guilty last month to driving under the influence and possession of cannabis following a July 4 collision between his Range Rover and a Snappy Snaps store in north London.

District Judge John Perkins told the singer he had taken a "dangerous and unpredictable mix" of prescription drugs and marijuana.

Perkins sentenced Michael to the prison time and a 1,250 pound ($1,930) fine during a hearing at Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court.

Settles Sex Harassment Cases

Casey Affleck

"I'm Still Here" filmmaker Casey Affleck has settled the sexual harassment cases filed against him by two women who worked on the controversial pseudo-documentary about Joaquin Phoenix.

Both producer Amanda White and cinematographer Magdalena Gorka are receiving credit on the film, but neither side would comment when asked to reveal financial terms.

"The disputes between Flemmy Productions, LLC and Casey Affleck with Amanda White and Magdalena Gorka in connection with the film 'I'm Still Here' have been resolved to the mutual satisfaction of the parties and the lawsuits are being dismissed," the Affleck camp said in a statement.

The women sued Affleck in July for $2 million and $2.25 million, respectively, claiming all sorts of outrageous behavior on the set of his documentary. Affleck fought back with noted litigator Marty Singer and a crisis PR team. The two sides held a secret mediation a few weeks ago, which led to the deadline to file key documents in the case being extended, and, finally, a settlement that was first reported by the Los Angeles Times.

FBI Informant?

Ernest Withers

Ernest Withers, a revered civil rights photographer who captured iconic images of Martin Luther King Jr. on the night King was shot in Memphis, actually played a different role the day before: FBI informant.

The Commercial Appeal, a newspaper in Memphis, just completed a two-year investigation that reveals how Withers provided the FBI with details about where King was staying and information on his meeting with black militants on April 3, 1968 - the day before the assassination.

The Commercial Appeal found FBI reports indicating that Withers collaborated for years with FBI agents monitoring the civil rights movement. Those FBI reports, the paper's Marc Perrusquia writes, "reveal a covert, previously unknown side of the beloved photographer."

The Memphis paper reports how Withers' spying assisted J. Edgar Hoover, the controversial FBI director who long covertly monitored King and others considered radicals. Withers, the paper notes, gave the bureau a "front-row seat to the civil rights and anti-war movements in Memphis." In the 1960s, he provided information on everyone from the Invaders - a militant black power group - to church leaders, politicians and business owners. Experts believe the FBI paid Withers for spying.

Testimony Nearing A Close

Shelley Malil

Testimony is expected to conclude Tuesday in the trial of a Los Angeles actor accused of stabbing his ex-girlfriend at her San Diego County home.

Shelley Malil, who appeared in the film "The 40-Year-Old Virgin," testified Monday he understands he's responsible for her wounds but doesn't remember inflicting each one.

Malil told jurors he started flailing with a knife because he was struck in the back of the head in Kendra Beebe's yard in 2008 and was fighting back, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.

He also testified that he did not know the full extent of Beebe's injuries until months after the stabbing, when he first saw the hospital photos.

Fox Rupert News To Air Ad

Media Matters

Fox News will air a commercial Tuesday night that is critical of its own parent company.

The ad is from the liberal activist group Media Matters, and it criticizes -- in an ever so gentle manner -- the $1 million donation that News Corp. gave to the Republican Governors Assn.

The donation made headlines last month, and detractors of Fox News seized on it as evidence that the No. 1 cable news outlet isn't as fair and balanced as it ought to be. Fox News didn't cover the controversy nearly as much as its competitors did.

The 30-second spot, airing during "The O'Reilly Factor," cost Media Matters $35,000. The nonprofit organization tried to raise it by appealing to supporters via an email, but donations fell short so it dipped into a general fund to make up the difference, a spokeswoman said.

Pancake House Defense

Kid Rock

Kid Rock and his entourage were trying to defend themselves from another customer at a suburban Atlanta Waffle House when a fight broke out in 2007, said a lawyer for the musician who was in court Tuesday.

The entertainer, whose real name is Robert James Ritchie, and five people who were with him that night are being sued over the fight. Harlen Akins claims the group beat him for no reason and is seeking unspecified punitive damages and $6,000 in medical fees, according to his lawyer.

Kid Rock pleaded guilty in March 2008 to a misdemeanor charge of simple battery in the fight.

Bans Full Veils

French Senate

The French Senate on Tuesday overwhelmingly passed a bill banning the burqa-style Islamic veil on public streets and other places, a measure that affects less than 2,000 women but that has been widely seen as a symbolic defense of French values.

The Senate voted 246 to 1 in favor of the bill in a final step toward making the ban a law - though it now must pass muster with France's constitutional watchdog. The bill was overwhelmingly passed in July in the lower house, the National Assembly.

Many Muslims believe the legislation is one more blow to France's No. 2 religion, and risks raising the level of Islamophobia in a country where mosques, like synagogues, are sporadic targets of hate. However, the law's many proponents say it will preserve the nation's values, including its secular foundations and a notion of fraternity that is contrary to those who hide their faces.

In an attempt to head off any legal challenges over arguments it tramples on religious and other freedoms, the leaders of both parliamentary houses said they had asked a special body to ensure it passes constitutional muster. The Constitutional Council has one month to rule.

The bill is worded to trip safely through legal minefields. For instance, the words "women," "Muslim" and "veil" are not even mentioned in any of its seven articles.

Celebrities Discover The Downside

Twitter

Is celebrities' obsession with Twitter starting to wane?

When singer John Mayer, one of Twitter's most high profile users with 3.7 million followers, shut his account on Monday, he was just the latest celebrity to quit the micro-blogging site.

Some stars are finding that Twitter may be great as a promotional tool or for reaching out to fans, but it also comes with a downside.

However, many celebrities have found that their tweets are being made fun of, or blow up in their faces.

"Ice Giants"

Climate change is exposing reindeer hunting gear used by the Vikings' ancestors faster than archaeologists can collect it from ice thawing in northern Europe's highest mountains.

"It's like a time machine...the ice has not been this small for many, many centuries," said Lars Piloe, a Danish scientist heading a team of "snow patch archaeologists" on newly bare ground 1,850 meters (6,070 ft) above sea level in mid-Norway.

Specialized hunting sticks, bows and arrows and even a 3,400-year-old leather shoe have been among finds since 2006 from a melt in the Jotunheimen mountains, the home of the "Ice Giants" of Norse mythology.

As water streams off the Juvfonna ice field, Piloe and two other archaeologists -- working in a science opening up due to climate change -- collect "scare sticks" they reckon were set up 1,500 years ago in rows to drive reindeer toward archers.

This artist's drawing provided by Christo shows an image of a proposed project by artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude that would suspend 5.9 miles of silvery,translucent fabric above parts of the Arkansas River in southern Colorado. The couple proposed taking about two years to set up a system of anchors, frames and cables to suspend the fabric across eight specific spots of a 42-mile stretch of the Arkansas River. Most of the river would be untouched, and fabric would hang roughly horizontally, about 8 to 25 feet above the water.

Producers Want To Change Name

Corn Syrup

The makers of high fructose corn syrup want to sweeten its image with a new name: corn sugar.

The Corn Refiners Association applied Tuesday to the federal government for permission to use the name on food labels. The group hopes a new name will ease confusion about the sweetener, which is used in soft drinks, bread, cereal and other products.

Americans' consumption of corn syrup has fallen to a 20-year low on consumer concerns that it is more harmful or more likely to cause obesity than ordinary sugar, perceptions for which there is little scientific evidence.

The average American ate 35.7 pounds of high fructose corn syrup last year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. That's down 21 percent from 45.4 pounds 10 years before.

Cane and beet sugar, meanwhile, have hovered around 44 pounds per person per year since the mid-1980s, after falling rapidly in the 1970s, when high fructose corn syrup - a cheaper alternative to sugar - gained favor with soft drink makers.

In Memory

Eileen Nearne

A reclusive old lady who died alone in her flat in southwest England and had no one to pay for her funeral has posthumously shot to fame after it emerged she was an intrepid World War Two secret agent.

Eileen Nearne died aged 89 at her home in the town of Torquay on September 2. In the absence of any known relatives to make funeral arrangements, authorities entered the flat to take charge several days later, a local council spokeswoman said. A search for documents that might help locate relatives instead yielded a treasure trove of medals and papers that revealed the life of a woman once known as "Agent Rose," who defied the Nazis as a wireless operator in occupied France.

A member of the secretive Special Operations Executive (SOE), the 23-year-old Nearne took a night flight into France in March 1944 to work as an undercover agent helping coordinate a network of resistance fighters and spies.

She was arrested by the Gestapo four months later but was able to hide her true identity thanks to her fluent French, acquired during childhood when her family lived in France.

However, Nearne was arrested again weeks later and was imprisoned at Ravensbrueck concentration camp before being transferred to a forced labor camp in Silesia. She escaped in April 1945 but was re-arrested, before escaping one last time.

After the war, Nearne was awarded an MBE, or Member of the Order of the British Empire, in recognition of her services. She lived for most of the rest of her life with her sister Jacqueline, who had also served in the SOE.

Since her sister's death in 1982, Nearne had lived alone and never spoke about her wartime exploits.

Varnette Honeywood

Varnette Honeywood, an artist whose paintings adorned the walls of the set of "The Cosby Show" and whose strikingly colorful images depicted tender moments in black family life, has died. She was 59.

Her cousin, Jennell Allen, said Tuesday that Honeywood died in a Los Angeles hospital on Sunday after a two-year battle with cancer.

Bill Cosby told The Associated Press he met Honeywood decades ago after seeing her postcard illustrations.

Several of Honeywood's paintings were placed on the walls of the set of the hit comedy series, "The Cosby Show" and Cosby worked with her on a subsequent book series, "Little Bill."

Honeywood earned a master's degree from the University of Southern California and worked at the Joint Educational Project. She taught art to minority students.
