M Is FOR MASHUP - September 22nd, 2010


Five Incredible Years Of Mashups

By DJ Useo














Hola to you on this fine 5-year anniversary of me being DJ Useo. That's correct! I've been mixing & posting mashups for an earth-shaking 60 months!I'd been enjoying others mashups & really wanted to try it myself so back in 2005 I started up with tracks like 'Do You Love V-2 Schneider' (The Contours vs David Bowie) & 'My World Is Unquiet Slumbers' (Supremes vs Genesis). In the beginning I always hand-drew all the covers to carve out my own niche, if you will. Sometimes I made a track that even got downloaded some & possibly even comments.










After a bit I decided to try some content that people might know, so I did a Muppets/Beatles one called 'Flying Swedish Chef', lmao. Well, fry my soul iffen they didn't go wild over it. Soon I was posting whatever I felt like without too much concern. Stuff from way out mashups like 'Spongebob Squarepusher' (Spongebob vs Squarepusher) to likeable, appealing tracks like 'All Is Boy' (Book Of Love vs The Animals). I guess the consistent thing about me was you could never tell what the next mix would sound like.











It was around this point that I really got confident & tried hard to stretch myself. I started doing psychedelic mashups, some with classic rock & some with newer styles like Goa. This led to the series called ' INTENSE PSYCHEDLIA', now onto a 4th album.
( djuseomashupalbums.blogspot.com/ ) The silly mashups continued into the ' FRIKKENFRACK' series,
( djuseomashupalbums.blogspot.com/ ) & still I seemed to move farther into the mainstream while maintaining a unique feel for it. Soon, I was being invited to contribute to other people's mashup collections like CULTURE BULLY, AudioPornCentral & LaptopPunk. Damn, it's fun to be posted with the people whose work you admire.











Now here it is 5 years on & I'm regularly posting well-liked & received tracks like 'Tax Machine' (The Beatles vs Pink Floyd), 'Bop It Up' (Elvis Costello vs The Ramones vs The Beatles vs Nirvana) & 'Pretty Thoughts' (Sex Pistols vs Muse). I think it's almost 3 years of writing this 'M Is For Mashups' column here on Marty's Bartcop E. I'm going on 70 episodes of The QRADIPS Show w/ DJ Useo broadcast on Sound-Unsound Radio. I get to super-mod at the Sound-Unsound forum & most amazingly to me I can get tons of great mashers to join together & put out mashup albums like ' SUMMER BOOTY 2010'.
( djuseo.podomatic.com/ )












Now after this 5-set of years, to celebrate all that you've read above, here's a new collection called ' The Best Of DJ Useo 2005-2010'. It contains 10 useo classics that you all let me know you liked the most. Hope you enjoy & tell your friends!

Howard Blume: "Reporter's Notebook: 'Waiting for Superman' and American education reform" (Los Angeles Times)
In his previous Oscar-winning documentary, filmmaker Davis Guggenheim handled Al Gore, manmade climate change and imminent global peril. This time, he's really grabbing something hot: education reform.


Diane Ravitch: A Conversation with James Mustich
I don't understand how you can organize a school system this way. I keep coming back to the fact that there is no high performing nation in the world that does this. There is no other nation, whether it's Finland or Japan or any other you can think of, that is embarking on this kind of insane path. I think we're at a moment of national madness.


VIRGINIA HEFFERNAN: Drill, Baby, Drill (nytimes.com)
By e-mail, E. D. Hirsch Jr., the distinguished literary critic and education reformer, told me that far from rejecting drilling, he considers "distributed practice," the official term for drilling, essential. A distributed practice system, Hirsch explained, "is helpful in making the procedures second nature, which allows you to focus on the structural elements of the problem."

"The Typewriter Is Holy: The Complete, Uncensored History of the Beat Generation" by Bill Morgan: A review by Gerry Donaghy
When Jack Kerouac wrote "Aftermath: The Philosophy of the Beat Generation" for Esquire magazine in the spring of 1958, less than a year had passed since the publication of On the Road, his novel that came to define the movement, but nearly a decade had gone by since Kerouac determined the movement to have died. By 1950, the Beat writers, especially the core triumvirate of Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and William S. Burroughs, had begun to move out of the collective orbit and into their own ideas of life and literature. They continued to collaborate and support each other's careers, but their days of, to quote Ginsberg's Howl, "smoking in the supernatural darkness of cold-water flats floating across the tops of cities contemplating jazz," became fewer and farther between.


"Amore" By MARK ROTELLA: Reviewed by Thomas DePietro
Here's a welcome switch: an Italian-American writer who discovers his ethnic identity not in food or gangsterology, but in the golden age of Italian-American singing, a period of almost twenty years when the sons (and some daughters) of immigrants dominated the American airwaves.


Jon Langmead: "Just Bill: How and Why to Make a Film About Bill Withers"
What the film presents is truly a unique experience. Throughout the film, Withers comes off as incredibly well-adjusted to what life has brought him, from his early life in very rural West Virginia to a career in the Navy to his eventual success as a musician whose career netted him three gold records and four top-ten singles.

Reader Comment

Enjoying the Bartcop E!

I have enjoyed the BartCop Entertainment when I get the chance, and seeing the photo of the statue of Frank Zappa in Baltimore is such a good thing. It is about time he was honored in this manner.

As for the comments about Limbaugh being a pervert, I have to take some people here in Tennessee to task over him - especially when I bring up his trip to the Dominican Republic with a bottle of Viagra, not to mention that fact that he admitted to threatening a reporter a number of years ago. The biggest threat the Vulgar Pigboy used was, and I Quote, "We're going to find out where your kids go to school."

Now I don't care if you are as big as Howard Stern, you never threaten another person's family.

When I explain this to some here in Tennessee, they suggest that it's not true, or - when I suggest that Limbaugh be investigated - they suggest that President Obama be investigated for wrongdoing. They will not listen.

Keep the entertainment coming, and I will try to enjoy it, friends!

George M


Thanks, George!

Doesn't Know "$#*!"

Your DVR

A show inspired by the Internet has encountered a minor obstacle in that other technological miracle known as the DVR.

In an effort to turn a popular Twitter feed into a broadcast comedy, CBS' has given "$#*! My Dad Says" a rather un-DVR-friendly friendly title.

Try to search for "$#*!" using your DVR's remote control. Go ahead. We'll wait.

It seems DVR designers quite understandably never suspected that a network would launch a TV show that started with the word "$#*!."

Ending Vegas Show

Cher

Cher's final curtain on her headline show on the Las Vegas Strip is set for Feb. 5 after about 200 shows.

Officials at the Caesars Palace hotel-casino said Tuesday that tickets for Cher's final run of shows starting Jan. 11 will go on sale Saturday.

The last show ends a three-year residency for the iconic singer known for over-the-top costumes, elaborate showmanship and hits spanning several decades.

Cher's departure from the 4,300-seat Colosseum theater will come about one month before Celine Dion returns March 15 to start her second engagement. Her first five-year run grossed more than $400 million.

Renews "Big C," "Weeds"

Showtime

Showtime picked up new seasons of hit comedies "The Big C" and "Weeds" on Monday, citing "record-breaking premiere night ratings for both original series." They will premiere next year.

The debut episode of "The Big C," starring Laura Linney as a cancer battler, drew 1.2 million viewers on August 16, the largest audience in eight years for an original series premiere on the network. The suburban pot saga "Weeds" lit up its sixth season the same night with 1.26 million viewers, up 4% from the Season 5 debut.

Files For Divorce

Elisabeth Moss

Court records show actress Elisabeth Moss has filed for divorce from her comedian husband after less than a year of marriage.

The "Mad Men" star filed for divorce from Fred Armisen on Monday in Los Angeles.

The two were married in October but separated in June. The court filings did not offer any additional details.

Moss portrays career-oriented Peggy Olson on AMC's Emmy Award-winning "Mad Men." Armisen has appeared on NBC's "Saturday Night Live" since 2002 and parodies President Barack Obama on the show.

Old Footage

Christine O'Donnell

Christine O'Donnell's eagerness to go on television is coming back to haunt her campaign for U.S. Senate.

A few days after HBO's Bill Maher played a tape from 1999 in which the conservative Christian activist said that she dabbled in witchcraft while in high school, Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly said that he had tapes of "crazy stuff" that O'Donnell, the Republican candidate for Senate in Delaware, said during appearances on his program.

O'Reilly did not play video Monday night on "The O'Reilly Factor," but both he and Maher have similar goals: booking O'Donnell on their shows now she's the political star of the moment.

Maher jokingly referred to his request as a hostage crisis, saying he'll show other clips from O'Donnell's 22 appearances on "Politically Incorrect" during the 1990s unless she agrees to come on his current show, "Real Time with Bill Maher."

Discovery Sues Duo

'Deadliest Catch'

Most reality TV producers follow a simple format: Capture what happens, and then have cast-members fill in story gaps with voice-overs and cutaways. But what to do when reality TV stars jump ship before sitting down for the required interviews?

Sue them, of course.

Discovery is seeking $3 million in damages after two stars of "Deadliest Catch," Jonathan and Andy Hillstrand, allegedly failed to live up to an agreement to complete a spin-off project.

According to the breach-of-contract lawsuit, filed last week in Maryland Circuit Court, the Hillstrands were to film a one-time special called "Hillstranded." The duo was coming off five seasons of "Deadliest Catch," one of the most popular programs on any Discovery-affiliated network. The special was to document the team's various adventures in Alaska; work unrelated to their jobs as crab fisherman. Two weeks of principal photography was shot in June, but there was still work to do.

US Court Reinstates Insider Trading Case

Mark Cuban

Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban suffered a setback on Tuesday as a court rejected the dismissal of an insider trading case filed against him by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

The US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ruled that a lower court in Texas had erroneously thrown out the lawsuit against the billionaire NBA owner and technology tycoon and ordered it reinstated.

The US District Court in Dallas dismissed the case on July 17, a move which was challenged by the SEC.

Cuban is alleged to have sold 600,000 shares of stock from Canadian search engine company Mamma.com Inc. in 2004 after receiving confidential information about a private offering.

Did Not Copy "Rear Window"

"Disturbia"

Director Steven Spielberg and his DreamWorks movie studio on Tuesday won the dismissal of a copyright infringement lawsuit that claimed their 2007 thriller "Disturbia" stole the plot of Alfred Hitchcock's film "Rear Window".

The Sheldon Abend Revocable Turst, which owns the rights to the 1942 Cornell Woolrich short story "Rear Window", sued Spielberg, DreamWorks and distributors Paramount Pictures in 2008.

Lawyers for the Trust left by the late Hollywood producer Abend claimed Hitchcock had properly obtained the right to turn the Woolrich story into his 1954 classic "Rear Window". But DreamWorks had not received such permission when making "Disturbia."

A New York federal judge ruled on Tuesday that although there were some similarities between the 1942 book, the Hitchcock movie and "Disturbia", none of them were actionable under U.S. copyright law.

Visiting Narita Airport

Paris Hilton

Japanese officials kept Paris Hilton at Narita International Airport for a second day Wednesday while they decide whether she will be admitted to the country after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor drug charge in Las Vegas.

The 29-year-old celebrity was stopped by immigration authorities upon her arrival in Japan on Tuesday, one day after her plea, according to an e-mailed statement by Hilton's representative, Dawn Miller.

Hilton spent the night at an airport hotel after being questioned by officials. She was scheduled to appear at a news conference in Tokyo on Wednesday to promote her fashion and fragrance lines, but that appearance was canceled.

Officials at the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo declined to comment. The front desk at her hotel said calls to her room could not be connected.

Son Beaten In Detroit

Aretha Franklin

Aretha Franklin's son was severely beaten at a gas station in Detroit, the singing legend's spokeswoman said Tuesday.

Eddie Franklin was attacked Monday night and was undergoing surgery at a hospital, Gwendolyn Quinn said in a statement. She said three people may have been involved in the attack, but did not address a possible motive.

Detroit police spokeswoman Eren Stephens said a female acquaintance was with Franklin just before the beating took place. The woman walked into the gas station, and when she returned, the assault had taken place, Stephens said.

Police said the woman then drove Franklin to the hospital, dropped him off and headed to a police station to file a report.

Secrets Spilled

MI6

It's James Bond, with bureaucracy and cramped office space.

The first-ever official history of MI6 reveals that Britain's foreign spy agency debated assassinating Nazi leaders, landed a spy wearing a wetsuit over his tux at a casino by the sea and experimented with exploding filing cabinets - but also wrangled with other government departments and had to make do on a shoestring budget.

The book, published Tuesday, tells a story of plots, paperwork, duplicity and derring-do that takes in fears of a Nazi anthrax attack, cross-dressing secret agents and worries about the safety of the prime minister's milk supply.

"The real James Bonds are more interesting than the fictional James Bond," said author Keith Jeffery, a historian at Queen's University Belfast, who had access to previously secret files in the MI6 archive. "They are male and female. They are real people. They have real frailties and real courage."

Leaves Haiti Politics

Wyclef Jean

Wyclef Jean has officially ended his bid for Haiti's presidency.

A statement sent Tuesday by his publicist says the singer is leaving Haitian politics to promote a new album.

Jean's candidacy ended last month when the Caribbean country's eight-member provisional electoral council left him and more than a dozen other hopefuls off the ballot. Nineteen candidates were approved.

No official reasons were given for the exclusions. Jean is presumed not to have met constitutional requirements including living in Haiti. He lives in New Jersey.

Shaking Down The Stations

Disney

Walt Disney Co Chief Executive Robert Iger said the company has struck deals to collect additional cash from television station affiliates after negotiating higher fees from cable operators, most recently Time Warner Cable.

Disney and Time Warner Cable had clashed over so called retransmission fees that Time Warner would pay Disney to carry free-to-air ABC broadcast signals on their cable systems. Disney owns ABC.

Disney and other big station owners such as News Corp are also demanding payments from TV stations not owned by big media companies, but which are affiliated with major networks.

Analysts estimate that Time Warner may pay as much as $1.28 billion to Disney and its affiliate stations under the deal.

In Memory

Jill Johnston

Jill Johnston, who chronicled feminism, lesbianism and upheaval in the 1960s and 1970s as a weekly columnist for the Village Voice, has died. She was 81.

Her spouse, Ingrid Nyeboe, says Johnston died Saturday at Hartford Hospital from complications from a stroke she suffered earlier this month. The couple lived in Sharon in northwestern Connecticut.

Johnston began as a Village Voice dance critic in 1959. Her website says she adopted a "daring, experimental" writing style in the late 1960s in writing her weekly cultural column, a style she said she later tried to undo.

Her 1973 book, "Lesbian Nation: The Feminist Solution," challenged male-dominated society and has been described as a "bible for militant feminists."
