M Is FOR MASHUP - December 12th, 2012 (The Year of the Mashup Album)

Swingin' Tunes!

By DJ Useo DJ Petrushka



Hey y'all! It's me, Dj Petrushka, back to talk to you about some really awesome and decidely different mashups. It's a compilation put together by Envision. It's called " Tracks that are Rarely Travelled" . Envision and friends put together some great mashups that are a mix of country music and other genres.




I must say, I love all types of music, and after living in Texas for over 20 years, country music is a major love of mine.












It helps that I grew up watching Ed Sullivan, Lawrence Welk, and Hee Haw. Not to mention, top 40 music in my younger years included everything from Sound Tracks to movies to country to Motown, etc. So there were no boundaries music wise, unlike today's stations that only play one genre. But then, that's mashups in general. So of course I am very open musically.













So, most mashup fans will love this compilation, in my humble opinion. Some really great tunes, and of course that's the case. The participants are all very good mashers. Names like : Envision, Dj Useo, Markyboy, ....And Sushi! Productions, to name a few. And boy howdy, those are some names right there! Some of the country artists used are: Blake Shelton, Toby Keith, Garth Brooks, Martina McBride, Dolly Parton, the list goes on. And then the non-country artists: Katy Perry, Kylie Minogue, A-Ha, Poison, etc.
















So I think you can imagine the kind of music you might be hearing. I hope you will do more than imagine, as this compilation has some wonderful music that I know you already like. That's the really awesome part of mashups. It can take music you love, or hate, and make it so you love it more, or can now enjoy music you once hated. Just as an example, I myself did not like the Beastie Boys at all. But mashups changed all that, in fact I now like them by themselves. It was my ear that changed due to a new framing of vocals or instrumentals. And just think, it doesn't cost a cent. You just get the tracks and ipod yourself to another planet, lmao! So if you want to get this awesome compilation, you can get it and videos here:

Mix Of The Week

"Country Mix" from Dj Young Tronix This mix is 10 minutes of lucsious country music, I think you will enjoy it.

Mashup Tip

Put some Katy Perry in your mashup for the widest response from your audience.
















Latest Useo Thing

"Mongoloid Voice" (Devo vs Double Click vs Nok vs Fire Starter) Useo sez "I sure love the tracks I worked with here. Thanks to youse mugs for listening to my humble mixes. Are we not men with a duty now for the future?"
( www.groovytimewithdjuseo.blogspot.com/2012/11/mongoloid-voice-devo-vs-double-click.html )






















Podgornio, The Mashup Psychic Predicts

By New Years' Eve 2013 there'll be enough mashup dj's to play 23,000 parties at once.

The whole theme of the Politico piece is that great things would happen if only the insiders could override all this messy democracy stuff.

  PS: I am going to see the movie "Lincoln" today, so am kind of in a hurry. I was looking for a Hanukkah photo, but found this one - and thought it funny...




Fucking Dale of Diamond Fucking Springs responded:
   It's a minced oath. I loathe them! It's wrong to mince words! George Carlin said it best!!
       "I love words. I thank you for hearing my words. I want to tell you something about words that I uh, I think is important. I love..as I say, they're my work, they're my play, they're my passion. Words are all we have really.
       We have thoughts, but thoughts are fluid. You know, [humming]. And, then we assign a word to a thought, [clicks tongue]. And we're stuck with that word for that thought. So be careful with words. I like to think, yeah, the same words that hurt can heal. It's a matter of how you pick them.
       There are some people that aren't into all the words. There are some people who would have you not use certain words. Yeah, there are 400,000 words in the English language, and there are seven of them that you can't say on television. What a ratio that is. 399,993 to seven. They must really be bad. They'd have to be outrageous, to be separated from a group that large. All of you over here, you seven. Bad words. That's what they told us they were, remember? 'That's a bad word.' 'Awwww.' There are no bad words. Bad thoughts. Bad Intentions.
       And words, you know the seven don't you? Shit, Piss, Fuck, Cunt, Cocksucker, Motherfucker, and Tits, huh? Those are the heavy seven. Those are the ones that will infect your soul, curve your spine and keep the country from winning the war."

2013 Inductees

Rock Hall of Fame

Randy Newman's glad he didn't have to do anything drastic to get into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The members of Rush are choosing to let bygones be bygones. And Quincy Jones, well, he's still mad.

All were among inductees announced Tuesday by Flea of The Red Hot Chili Peppers at a news conference in Los Angeles. For most of this year's inductees, inclusion was a long time coming.

Newman is joined in the 2013 class by the eclectic group of rockers Rush and Heart, rap group Public Enemy, "Queen of Disco" Donna Summer and bluesman Albert King. Jones and his friend Lou Adler will enter the hall as Ahmet Ertegun Award winners for their contributions to rock beyond performance.

They will be inducted into the hall of fame April 18 in Los Angeles. The ceremony will mark the end of a long wait for fans of five of those six acts, who've been eligible for entry for some time. Public Enemy was inducted on its first ballot appearance, swelling the ranks of hip-hop entries.

In many cases, the delayed entry of this year's inductees had to do with a debate among its membership over the hall of fame's direction. The rock 'n' roll family sits under a big tent, but just how big it should be has been a matter of debate for the Cleveland, Ohio, institution.

Hosting Indie Spirit Awards

Andy Samberg

Andy Samberg will host the 2013 Independent Spirit Awards, Film Independent announced on Tuesday.

David O. Russell's "Silver Linings Playbook" and Wes Anderon's "Moonrise Kingdom" led the pack of nominees for the year's premiere event in American independent film, which will take place Saturday, February 23 in Santa Monica. A broadcast will air at 10 p.m. on IFC.

Samberg, a comedian and actor best known for his work on "Saturday Night Live," appeared in 2012's "Celeste and Jesse Forever," which earned one nomination. Rashida Jones and Will McCormack, both of whom also appeared in the film, will compete for Best First Screenplay.

Seth Rogen hosted the show last year, which "The Artist" dominated en route to its Oscar triumphs.

Milner Foundation Awards

Hawking and CERN

Stephen Hawking, the British cosmologist who urged people to "be curious" in the Paralympics opening ceremony, has landed the richest prize in science for his work on how black holes emit radiation.

Wheelchair-bound Hawking won $3 million from Russian Internet entrepreneur Yuri Milner, who set up his prize this year to address what he regards as a lack of recognition in the modern world for leading scientists.

Alongside Hawking, a second $3 million award has gone to the scientists behind the discovery this year of a new subatomic particle that behaves like the theoretical Higgs boson, imagined almost half a century ago and responsible for bestowing mass on other fundamental particles.

The scale of the awards from the Milner foundation - and being able to give them to multiple recipients for huge projects - could, over time, see them compete in prestige terms with the annual Nobel prizes.

The Nobel committee has had to scale back the size of its awards in line with the performance of the investments which support it. Each prize is now worth $1.2 million, down from about $1.5 million in recent years.

Named 'Most Desirable' Woman

Jennifer Lawrence

Jennifer Lawrence, you are the world's most desirable woman, according to an international poll released on Tuesday by the website AskMen.

"The Hunger Games" star rose to the top of the list from No. 47 last year on the heels of the box-office smash while buffing her credibility as a quirky, sex-mad young widow in the independent film "Silver Linings Playbook," AskMen editor in chief James Bassil said.

Lawrence bumped last year's winner, Sofia Vergara of "Modern Family" fame, down to No. 12, while reality star Kim Kardashian plummeted to No. 98.

The poll surveyed 2.4 million readers asking them to vote on which celebrity they would choose as a prospective partner, according to the website, which is a unit of News Corp. The top 99 are then compiled into the annual poll.

Rounding out the top five were actress Mila Kunis, model Kate Upton, R&B star Rihanna and "Crazy, Stupid, Love" actress Emma Stone.

Philly Dancers Set Line Record

'Soul Train'

Almost 300 dancers who strutted, shimmied and shook their way down a Soul Train line set a world record earlier this year in Philadelphia.

Guinness World Records has certified February's Soul Train line outside the Philadelphia Museum of Art as the world's longest.

Two hundred ninety-one dancers took a hip trip between the two lines of swaying participants, breaking the old record of 211 dancers set at a California high school last year.

The Philadelphia Inquirer reports organizers Sheila Simmons received confirmation of the record from Guinness on Monday.

Simmons says the record-setting attempt was inspired by the death of longtime "Soul Train" host Don Cornelius on Feb. 1.

Hospital News

Ian McKellen

"The Hobbit" actor Ian McKellen said in an interview published on Tuesday that he had had prostate cancer for the last six or seven years, but added that the disease was not life-threatening.

McKellen, 73, played Gandalf in the hit "Lord of the Rings" movie trilogy, and reprises the role in three prequels based on J.R.R. Tolkien's novel "The Hobbit".

"I've had prostate cancer for six or seven years," McKellen told the Daily Mirror tabloid. "When you have got it you monitor it and you have to be careful it doesn't spread. But if it is contained in the prostate it's no big deal."

"Many, many men die from it but it's one of the cancers that is totally treatable," added McKellen, one of Britain's most respected actors who is also well known in Hollywood for appearances in the X-Men franchise.

Lawsuit Claims Show Is Rigged

'Storage Wars'

A former cast member of the A&E reality series "Storage Wars" claims the show is rigged and producers have planted valuable items to deceive viewers.

David Hester claims in a lawsuit filed Tuesday in Los Angeles that he was fired from the popular series after complaining that some of the lockers featured on the show had been manipulated. "Storage Wars" follows buyers who bid for abandoned storage lockers hoping to find valuables tucked inside.

Hester is seeking more than $750,000, claiming he was unfairly fired after expressing concerns that manipulating the lockers was illegal.

A&E Television Networks declined comment, citing the pending lawsuit.

Inscription To Be Removed, Not Replaced

Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial

Interior Secretary Ken Salazar endorsed a plan Tuesday to remove a disputed inscription from the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial, rather than cut into the granite to replace it with a fuller quotation.

Salazar said he had reached an agreement with King's family, the group that built the memorial and the National Park Service to remove a paraphrase from King's "Drum Major" speech by carving grooves over the lettering to match existing scratch marks in the sculpture. Memorial sculptor Lei Yixin recommended removing the inscription this way to avoid harming the monument's structural integrity.

Critics including poet Maya Angelou complained after the memorial opened in 2011 that the paraphrased quotation took King's words out of context, making him sound arrogant. The paraphrase reads: "I was a drum major for justice, peace and righteousness."

The full quotation was taken from a 1968 sermon about two months before King was assassinated. It reads: "Yes, if you want to say that I was a drum major, say that I was a drum major for justice. Say that I was a drum major for peace. I was a drum major for righteousness. And all of the other shallow things will not matter."

Work is scheduled to begin after the presidential inauguration in February or March of 2013 to be completed in the spring, according to federal officials. Lei, the original sculptor, will do perform the stone work to remove the inscription, and the memorial will remain open to visitors.

Upsetting Puti's Pals

Lady Gaga

A political ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin is taking legal action against American pop star Lady Gaga for promoting gay rights to minors during a concert on Sunday.

Vitaly Milonov, a member of the ruling United Russia party in the St Petersburg assembly and the architect of a city law that bans gay "propaganda", accused the singer of breaking the law at the beginning of her show.

"We saw that in addition to music, songs and such, there were direct calls for 12-year-old citizens to support the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) community," Milonov said, adding that he would file a complaint to prosecutors over the singer's actions.

A vocal defender of lesbian and gay rights, Lady Gaga said offstage that her managers had received a call threatening her with arrest or a $50,000 fine if she spoke in support of the LGBT community, according to media reports.

New Museum

ABBA

A new museum devoted to ABBA may attract hundreds of thousands of visitors to the Swedish capital but that does not mean the four members of the super group will ever reunite, at least on stage, former ABBA member Bjorn Ulvaeus said.

The museum, a permanent exhibition within a hall of fame of Swedish pop music, opens in May next year. It will feature memorabilia like stage costumes worn by the singers, and visitors will also be able to sing along to ABBA songs alongside life size holograms of the group.

But while Ulvaeus -- now a 67-year-old grandfather - is involved in setting up the museum, there will be no new performances from a group that last appeared on stage around 30 years ago.

ABBA, made up of Agnetha Faltskog, Anna-Frid Lyngstad, Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus, shot to fame when they won the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest with the song "Waterloo".

They went on to become one of Sweden's biggest exports with such hit songs as "Dancing Queen" and "Gimme Gimme Gimme (A Man After Midnight)".
