Mash-up: Thank You Nation

Here is a mash-up that I'd never have imagined would work - Janet Jacks vs Sly and the Family Stone.

Edit-insanity

This promo for Cinemax leaves me impressed. As someone who used to edit video (3/4" tapes) and audio (reel-to-reel), I know how insane a project like this can make you - even with computers!

Amazing!

Video Megamix: Flash House Megamix

I found this quite by accident on YouTube, but I really liked it. It is Flash animation showing the album covers as they play in the megamix.

I don't know if DJ Porssinatto only made the video, or the mix as well. Either way, it is a fun 80's megamix.

If I had the music to upload I would but this is all I could find. Enjoy!!

Mash-up: Spin Me Harder

This post was inspired by the great YouTube video "Daft Hands - Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" which found me by way of Hot Town's Vox.

I kinda wish they had used this mash-up for the soundtrack, because to me, it sounds SO much better than the original tune. Enjoy "Spin Me Harder" Daft Punk vs Dead or Alive by DJ Tripp.

My Nokia 6133 is on the way

My old nokia 3595 (aka, the Brick) finally gave up the ghost. And by finally, I mean it is about time! Woo-hoo, now I can finally justify re-upping my contract to get a free phone. And the winner: The Nokia 6133!

 

Like Dan (below), I called T-mo's customer service. I never upgrade online. I always talk to a rep. They can work magic if you are able to connect with them. My operator was wonderful, and even went the extra mile to get me the phone I wanted for free, even though it wasn't one of the free upgrade options. She even credited my account for the shipping.

 

Of course, I had to agree to 24 more months of service. Sure, I could have changed carriers for a free bigger, better phone, but few carriers have a plan like I have (a grandfathered 75 anytime mins/500 weekend for $19.95), and I didn't want the hassle of switching my number and all the hoo-hah of new carrier service.

 

Anyway, to get ready, I am collecting tips to help me when it arrives. This post will serve as my bookmarks.

 

So, if you have a 6133 this might be helpful, if not, I totally understand if you skip this one.

I'm going to quote one of the other reviewers (BTW, I used these tips and they really help a lot!) "Power Saver" options (settings => main/mini disply, turn off screen saver, turn off kepyad, start-up and switch off tones etc.) in 6133, the battery started lasting around 4-5 days with moderate usage."

Megamix: Yet Another '80s Megamix

I had a great post composed for this, but my browser  crashed (wanna guess which one? shame on me).

Anyway, for now I am just posting it. I have no info on who made this, nor what the actual title is. I love the transitions in this megamix, the way it goes from one tune to the next. That leads me to think this is a professional production.

I've had this for at least 7 years, so it isn't new, but it sure is good!

(Um, I had to compress this down to 64kbps due to the upload cap of 25MB on Vox, but it still sounds good)

My Artwork to be Neighborhood Only Posts

I will be uploading some art soon, and I am very self-conscious about it. So I am setting these posts to only be viewable by folks in my Vox "neighborhood." If you are already a "friend" or "neighbor" you should not notice any change.

That said, I welcome anyone to join my neighborhood. Just add me and that's that.

It has been a long time since I drew anything, and I am just not ready to share it with the world. Maybe if I get some confidence back.

Anyhow, the posts will start soon. And hopefully, you will like what you see.

Megamix: Awesome 80s Megamix

Let's face it, I love 80s megamixes (which are type of mash-up, if you use your imagination). And I have a lot of them. This is one of my favorites and it isn't really called the "Awesome 80s Megamix."

It was actually labeled "Rock And Roll Megamix Part 1 (of 4)" which I know is not accurate. I think it was re-named this by someone and got passed around. But when you listen to it, it isn't a Rock megamix, it is an 80s Pop megamix and it is Awesome. So, that's why I re-named it.

It sounds like it was a digitized from a vynil record, so the quality isn't the best. If you know the creator of this Megamix, please let me know.

While you listen, notice how long into the mix the drums from "Mickey" keep playing. And too, how far ahead the motorcylce/drums sound from Billy Idol play before the track comes up. Great stuff!
