RC 371: Don’t Truss it / Kings & Queens

What a difference of a month makes it’s 371 and its Don’t Truss It / Kings and Queens
That was Dub War with War Inna Babylon and that was the last
Recorded release with Ranking Roger RIP and then before that we had
Go Home Productions with God Save
Madonna Madonna’s ray of light versus Sex Pistols God save the Queen
As it start we had Neil. Yes Neil from the Young Ones
with No Future God save the Queen doing a lounge version in
1984 so well before Richard Cheese and all that lot
As I said, there’s a lot of changes in a month
I mean we’ve got a new Prime Minister and we now we’ve got a new king
That’s kind of really weird to say that as you might have missed
I mean if you were sleeping in a bunker and that bunker was soundproofed that bunker had no radio TV
that bunker didn’t have anyone shouting through the letterbox or no access to any media and
You were probably in a catatonic coma for the past day or so because it’s I’m recording this on
Early on Saturday, and it was yesterday the news broke
of the death of
Queen Elizabeth Windsor and I’m sure that intro might piss off a few people but look back in my
Just search Royals jubilee on radioclash.com report back
It’s not a new thing. I am a republican not a big R republican and not a Trump person or whatever
I don’t believe in the monarchy. So am I sad?
Anyone’s died and she wasn’t the worst royal and it really feels like he’s down to and to be the only decent on royal in the bunch I
Will argue that now Liz has gone. Can we just abolish it?
I could see that she was good at keeping the duty and although the sacrifice is
Horrible all of that shit that comes with it
You know so much it drives people out literally out of the
Encodes what they call the family or the business, you know, and I appreciate that I appreciate the fact that she didn’t take the best like some of them
But the rest of them. Yeah, King Charles the third. Yes
Like Charles won’t interfere. So yeah, we’re leading into strange times hence that selection of
dystopian mashups and weird covers and I don’t know we’re sleepwalking into fascism as wide so
Because you will go everywhere and these signs everywhere and of course Liz Truss is
Using it the other Liz. Yeah, two lizards. Yeah, I thought about that. I should have called it a two lizards, shouldn’t I?
too late now and
Yeah, it’s it’s kind of a tale of two lizards
Maybe I’ll call it that the tale of two lizards
That’s the subtitle and everywhere you go all the billboards are now saying Queen
in Memoriam and every flag is a half mast and
Just for 12 hours. No, it was no programming even the program you get now
They’re playing varies down BBC all things of past music like a track we’ve played here in cover from
Goodbye to England by Laura Marley except I was playing it in a way criticizing all of this stuff
We’re then using it to push that agenda and it’s just
All of these sort of oh, she wasn’t bad really. Oh, she was everyone’s granny. I just I
mean even Soft Cell
Soft Cell the post-punk band soft sell was posting how much they like the Queen and
Marc Almond just finally posting a tribute
It’d be like Johnny Rotten coming out maybe has done the said she was all right really. I don’t know
Strange strange strange times. I don’t know. You see I go away for a month and everything goes mad
But yeah, I was on holiday
I think explained on the previous podcast that I was walking just walking just walked. I was walking down in the
Not in Memphis in though, so the West Country, I suppose it’s approaching the West Country
Definitely West Country by the by the end of the trip
from Weymouth to Lyme Regis along the coast and
Various bits around or in Cerne Abbas the giant was a big willy on the hillside
And Devon so going to Devon and Branscom and I was intending to get to Xmouth and Sidmouth, but
The weather and fatigue interfered. I started having a really bad reaction to Sunburn
but I was
Sunburn frozen
drowned
Blown away. I was just yeah
I got all the all the weather’s we had the mini heatwave when I left and then it started raining and getting very misty and it was fun
Trying to paint because that’s what it was for. It was a working holiday
Paint things and draw things when they’re disappearing in and out of not consciousness and visibility
And so there’s a little coming and going like what’s going on here?
And you can hear more all about all of that if you want to listen to the 26
rather too long podcasts you can go to anchor.fm slash jaunt spelt j a u n t and
Thank you to the I think it’s three people who listen to it. There’s one person
I’ve listened to pretty much all of them. It was Angus
Andrew Herring as he used to be known. Hello Angus. Have you listening? And when I got back I slept for like
14-15 hours I was
I’m better now, but for about a week. I was just aching
Yes, you’re not as young as you used to be but I’d like to do more trips to try and get my strength up on that and try and
Work on that because if I do it on you once a year then I don’t really get into the fitness for it
And also I want to do a much longer trip. I’ll do a month trip or ever
And so we have to build it up. I think maybe not do as much walking
I tried I tried doing the White Nothe to
Durdle Door on the third day or second day during the heatwave. That was very silly
So you need to kind of ease into it. Maybe a bit less walking and more resting
Because you know take the longer view, but yeah, the idea is that I want to go to France or Greece next year and
Just paint and draw
Cheaply as possible
Camnping and draw something different than cliffs and trees and rivers for once
So enough of me talking about my holidays my Hollibob’s hate that phrase
We’ve got a kind of quite busy show. So I’m gonna get on with it. It’s gonna be a mixture of stuff
It might be a little bit more about Queens and Kings
And then there’s gonna be a fair amount of drum and bass because we have the drum and bass challenge and the crumple bangers
discord set by
Dunproofin so there’s a few things that and a few things
elsewhere and then we go to a more indie section and then a mix of Indian damp tempo right at the end
But it’s like three or four
Missed sets of challenges so far. I was listening to mostly before I left because actually I didn’t listen to music
This is the weird thing. This is the reason why how it’s taking me so long. I got back about
10 days ago 11 days ago
The reason why it took so long to do this podcast is because I wasn’t listening to music. This is the weirdest thing about the whole trip. I
Just didn’t listen to music and I did a bit
But mostly I didn’t and that’s unusual usually I really do listen to music all the time
When I’m working and painting and that was a sort of a shift
I think possibly because I didn’t have to avoid cars so much. I wasn’t using music to block everything out. This is why I
Realized this in Venice many years ago. I use music to block the city out
Not necessarily a good habit, but it’s the way it does to block people and the craziness of city living out
So as I get out of that, I don’t have to have that shield of music to keep me sane. Not sure what I’m saying
But you know to keep some semblance of sanity
So anyway, this is trust and obey by little Marcy. Oh, yes, we’re gonna go there
And that was two tracks from two French bootleggers
That was Totom with Susie Cool Gurenge
I don’t know how to pronounce that, Gurenge, Gurenge
That’s Boney M Daddy Cool versus Creedence Clearwater Revival with Susie Q
A track I like a lot
Wasn’t that used in Apocalypse Now?
I was connecting my head with Apocalypse Now
I think it was in the section where they’re doing the concert
In the forest with the women
Versus LiSa, I don’t know, LiSa
LI, capital S a, I don’t know who that is
That’s not a challenge mash-up
Totom did win the general base challenge mash-up
With a good general base mash-up
Which didn’t fit in the mix here
But not with the collaboration with DJ Nono
Which we’ll get to in a bit
But that was one of his recent releases
And I really, really like that
That’s one of the best things he’s done recently
I missed it when it was first released
Maybe about a month ago
I mean, most things I’ve missed because I’ve been away
And then before that we had DJ Zebra
The track which apparently dated June 2022
That’s Bootle Shake
King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard
Versus Black Sabbath, Versus Supreme
NTM, Versus Fatman Scoop it says here
But also, I hear a few other things
Like a bit of Dead Pres in there
There are other things in there
But I like the mix of King Gizzard
And Paranoid by Black Sabbath
That’s wonderful
And also, interestingly, Drum and Bass Tempo
So, he worked very well with DLR
And Staying Up Late Making Music
That is the name of the track
Which I think is brilliant
I’m staying up late recording a podcast
It’s only two in the morning on a Saturday
So, yeah
I’ve done that many a time
But I like that
I don’t always go for the more sparse drum and bass
I hate to say avant-garde, drum and bass
Sort of out there
This is a P word, progressive
But that was on some playlist
I was looking on YouTube
Someone had done a playlist
That was the releases of this month
And I heard that
I was like, yes, please
And then before that, we had DJ Useo
With Heroes of the Story Upstairs
That’s Sparks, Versus Emile
And Sinuhe Navarrate
I don’t know how you pronounce that
And I love that great
I don’t know the Sparks track
And I don’t know the other track
It’s one of the few times I’ve played something
I don’t know why the bit, but this sounds good
It just sounds insane in a good way
And sounds…
The kind of Sparks insanity that
It’s hard in a mash-up to reflect
It’s hard to use Sparks, actually
Because Sparks, like…
A lot of 70s pop people
Did work with some very strange chords
Some very strange rhythms, strangeness
And the music varies in tempo
So that’s the reason why
There aren’t that many mash-ups of the Town Aint
Big Enough For Both of Us
Even there’s a brilliant pop track
But the tempo varies all over the place
And I think, yeah, harmonies
So, yeah
But that works really well
I don’t know if that’s recent Sparks
Because I’ve kind of lost
Touchless Sparks for a minute
But, yeah, that I like a lot
And again, drum based tempo
Even though I’m alternating
It’s a bit like double speed
I used to do this a lot on the podcast
Drop into a dub track
And go back to drum based
And drop into a rock track of a similar speed
You know, sort of keep going between them
And flip-flopping because it’s kind of interesting
What works and what
This is like the old mixing
Because I usually nowadays try and harmonically mix everything
But I can tell you
The Bootle Snake and the DLR
Are not in the same key
Not even remotely in the same key
But it kind of worked against each other
Anti-harmonic mixing
Sometimes you have to break the rules
And then before that
Breaking the rules with the mixing now
We have CastleR with Everyone Wants to Lie
That DJ Shadow
And Run the Jewels versus Muse
Versus 30 Seconds to Mars
Yes, me with the 30 Seconds to Mars
Bootleg with MY reputation
Jared Leto
Yes, and I love that
Not only because it’s at the right tempo
Run the Jewels, there aren’t that many Run the Jewels mashups
That’s Nobody Speaks
And yeah, I plus seven’d that
Which is a bit annoying but
It works really well, I think what CastleR did was
Slow down the Run the Jewels to work
This is what you’re supposed to do
I’m not criticising them because this is what you’re supposed to do
You’re supposed to…
What’s the wanky phrase?
Respect the instrumental
That’s what you’re supposed to do
Respect the instrumental
Which in Crumpl is complete fucking bollocks
And also generally mashups complete
Respect nothing in music
There’s no point in respecting music in that way
Because otherwise you won’t be able to do anything with it
Because you spend time worrying that you’re going to fuck it up
So no, I hate that phrase
Respect the instrumental
You’re supposed to keep the instrumental
The right BPM whatever and then you alter the
Vocals BPM or key to fit
For a variety of technical reasons
Which are too boring to go into here
But sometimes
Especially if it’s a hip hop vocal
It’s a very temporal vocal
It has to hit certain things
People expect a certain speed
It’s actually better to speed up the instrumental
I know some people disagree with it
But they’re wrong
It is usually best not to do that
Because it sounds really odd to have the sped up instrumental
And maybe if you know that track really well
You were like cringing on that
But I don’t know those tracks
So I was like this sounds alright to me
Rock can speed up
Rock can go fast like this
Or I don’t usually teach you
Things plus 7 on Tractor
But yeah, it seemed to work
And then before that we had
Aggro1 with
Red Hot Chili Peppers, Californication
Versus Spor, let me be
And I, oh yeah, Spor mashups
Hello Spor
Yeah, I’m there
Oh Aggro1 specialises in those
Dirty Evil drama based mashups
And it’s been started making them again
Which is really good
And have amazingly descriptive
Titles
So the next one is also about Aggro1
But with their Angels and Filth
TM moniker
And that’s Green Day versus Unknown Error
And again Unknown Error
One of DJ Nono’s most famous
Infamous dreaded
Mashups is with Unknown Error
There’s a bit of Unknown Error
In the scary Xmas mashup
And
Big fan of Unknown Error
Again, a lot of people
Have mashed and tried
That Green Day song
I walk alone, I think that’s
For American Idiot isn’t it
I think it is, a lot of people have mashed it
A lot of people have failed
And I like what they’re doing there
Especially with warping the vocals to fit
And stushing them and dropping them and not
Again, don’t respect the acapella either
Mess with it, but you know
Really, really break all the rules
If it works, break it, break it, break it, break it, break it
Oh my god, Beavis and Butthead
I’ve not seen that yet
But I love the fact that, as the world goes to shit
As we get fascism 2.0 probably
Beavia and Butthead
Come back
Yes, I’m all for that
It’s like 90’s, 80’s
All over again
With some 70’s running
Then before the Angels and Filth
We had, we had
4AM Kru
I love 4AM Kru
And Shantae
With Good Thing Remix
That is a brilliant track
Means a lot to me and also
It’s just brilliant
Old school, proper jungle
Even though it’s new, but jungle
Proper jungle
Yeah, make Hari Krishna a bad boy
Then before that we had
DJToNomNom
You might say who’s DJToNomNom
That’s DJNoNo
And ToTom
And DJNoNo might have been also
Weirdly, at the same time on a
Walking holiday, just like me
That’s a bit funny
And so DJNoNo couldn’t
Work in the challenge
And worked
With ToTon over
Interwebs
To do a version of something which
DJNoNo planned a long time ago
But never made, which is a
Mashup of
Engelbert Humperdinck
Drum and Bass style
And so, ToTom found
A few tracks that worked with that
DJNoNo
Keyed in a lot of the tracks
Which Dunproofin liked
Via me
Because I listened to Dunproofin’s
Twitch streams a lot, so I had a rough idea
Of what kind of things he was into
Hence the High Contrast
But it works really well, that’s the second version
There was a disagreement about which version
To release, to release both of them
Engeltrast Highperdinck
Part 2, but the Part 1 is brilliant as well
That one’s a little bit more
Jungly, the Part 1
Is more
What Instamatic has been doing with
Contrasting different vocals
So it’s kind of weird, one is
Definitely in spirit more DJNoNo
Style, and the other one
Is
Works better, which is that one
But sounds less DJNoNo
It’s a weird one
Yeah, it was a weird one
Oh and it didn’t win the competition
Either, it didn’t even feature in the top
Thingamajigs, you know, so
Boo
Then before that we had Worm Day
Me neither
So that is Worm Day
Or from Worm Day’s channel
And that’s Obey
That a cover of a
Crusher P track
But that’s using the Lady Parsec
Voice in Chipspeech
And there’s a whole load of these
People taking Vocaloid or whatever
And redone this Obey
But it might not be so obvious in that version
Fortunately original was released
Via the Big Bad, so I don’t want to play it
And you can probably work out the vocals
More in that, but yeah go and
Google it on the YouTubes
Look at the lyrics, they’re very pertinent
To the whole theme
And then before that we had
Little Marcy, oh yes Little Marcy
With Trust in Obey
It was funny because
When I heard the Trust in Obey
I was like I have to play this
But I really wanted to play
Something from They Live
But as far as I know
They don’t actually mention the word Obey
It just appears on the billboards
So then I was like what else is a bay
And I found a few things and I was like
I found that was like perfect
And then found out that it was from the big
Evil Corp and then I found covers of it
These millions of covers that went perfect
And then we all just
I thought what was that for a cover then
That’s what I’d do when I find a track
By the big corporate
That will not be named
So Orbital came back with
The 30th Anniversary album
30 something which I played recently
And I think it was
Dunproofin hit me to this
Which is from the
Mary Anne Hobbs Live Radio set they did
They took a certain 90’s girl group
And then did a very good
Rave version
I think
And that was The Bad Shepherds
Anarchy in the UK
A cover of the Sex Pistols track
From 2010
From their By Hook or By Crook album
It turns out the best cover
Of Anarchy in the UK
I’ve probably heard something like
Adrian Edmondson
I love that
I love how it has this
Celtic Arabic drone
And it’s hopeful but also
They do a version of God Save the Queen
My child was played but
That seemed to be more comedy
And I had that with the Neil
And it’s a good version
Their version is very good to go into
A traditional tune called Mountain Road
And it is a bit of a mashup
So I will play it on a future podcast
But that expresses how I feel
And that section is very personal
So before that
We had Imagination
Imagination is my
The first disco I ever heard was Imagination
Just An Illusion
Along with Funky Town
And a few others
This crack end of disco
But I will always defend Imagination
And Leee
John and all
Everyone involved with it
Brilliant bands
Inspired House
The track called Burning
And Frankie Knuckles says that’s what inspired them
To make house music
So Frankie Knuckles says it
It’s true
That and Your Woman are very much about
What’s going on in my personal life
At the moment
And before that we had Grove with Fuck Your Land Lord
I put it in here anyway
Before all of the Queenie stuff
I was listening to it and going, oh off with your head
There’s a link there as well
But I was actually putting it in
Because it seemed to contrast quite well
With the Goldfrapp and the Your Woman
Musically, we’ll play off with each other
And yeah, that’s from
2021
And that’s
Queer and Black EP from Grove
Really good Check Out Grove on Bandcamp
I haven’t been saying when these are coming out
Really because actually the front
As I show, apart from the Little Marcy
Which is 67
1967
Everything else was 2022
I was lucky thinking
The Neil was 1984
And the little Marcy with everything else is new
But now we’re getting off-piste
We’re going into the
Older, more eclectic, more downbeat stuff
So
We’re going into the
Hibidragons
Yeah, we got Your Woman
by Fake Shark
A very funky cover from 2020
And then we had
From 2000
Kind of that was 22 years ago
We had
UK Girls
Because of the sad death of
Olivia Newton-John
I had to mark that
That and another track are my little markers
It’s weird
This podcast has gone through so many versions
The only things in the 371 vault
were Olivia Newton-John things
And then suddenly we got this Truss stuff
And then the Queen stuff
And yeah, it suddenly becomes a very big podcast
And I’ve got to say, oh I was saying
The White Town, which was a track before
Again, we sort of turned
We
Flipped between White Town
That’s Your Woman the Dolby Anol Remix
Kind of a cover really
From 2009
And yeah, Your Woman is 25 years old
I didn’t realise this until
I started researching it
It came round on my
iPod and I was saying this track
Just kind of sums up
It’s weird because at the time I heard it
I was coming out or I had just come out
And I’ve mentioned this on previous podcasts
How Your Woman
Means a lot to me because of the
Lyric, a man singing
You’re such a handsome charming man
I used to sing that loudly when I was on the radio
What I didn’t realise is that
It is queer
But Jyoti Mishra
Who is White Town
Said that it comes from several angles
The chorus is from the protagonist or one point
And then you’ve got the other point
So they’re actually different viewpoints
And the same song
And apparently it was written because
He was in a Marxist Orthodox Marxist group
And he fell in love with a lesbian in that group
And so hence
I can never be Your Woman
Because you fancy women, so I can never be Your Woman
And then she’s
Responding with the handsome man
But it’s your genes, you don’t understand
So it’s that sort of miscommunication
It’s a very clever song, very clever
But also he said as well
That actually it was meant to be vague
The idea of it sung by a man
Was supposed to be very sweet
When he heard the Your Woman, the Alboly
Is very, very misogynistic
So he’s flipping that on his head by taking a sample
From a track which is very misogynistic
Then using a song which isn’t
And he’s blurring the whole gender thing
But he said that it was intentional
That it was a very sort of sweet song
With a very catchy sample
He knew it would go somewhere with that
So he decided to put a lyric on it
That was really blurring
To get away with it
So you’ve got that thing about a man singing
About it can never be Your Woman
You don’t know if it’s a gay man
Or what’s going on with that song
So it was queer but not necessarily
In the way I was thinking
But it’s supposed to be vague
And it’s supposed to be from all as you point scale
Straight or whatever
He was saying how people write
About the idealised relationships
Of people but don’t actually talk about the realities
So it’s a brilliant song
And Dolby and all after Scottish
DJs
And talking of DJs
We had Orbital with Spicey
The live ripped from the Marianne Hobbes mix
They did
To promote their 30-something compilation
And I don’t know if they ever released that
I wish they would
Seriously, it is brilliant
But I don’t know if they get permission from
The Spice Girls to do so
It’s a really good remix
So we’re now going back to the mashups
For a minute
And I’ve really been digging
The mashups of someone who
Is, what’s he known on Discord as?
He’s not known
Here he’s known as PinkHairMashups
But on
Discord
He’s on the current man of Discord
I think he’s
Corby or Corbjorn
There was a challenge
Which I will battle set
Which was
A track with three things
But there’s three things
Together, like a team of
A video game
And PinkHairMashups chose
Three songs about summer
And so this is
Cool, sad summer nights
And seriously, if anyone works with Lana Del Rey
And Demi Lovato
Then I’m very much sure
That she’s still, but this is brilliant
That was split back by Sad Night Dynamite. I love that. I love a production on Sad Night
Dynamite’s work. That’s from their last album, Volume 2 from 2022. And then before that we had
a tribute, the second tribute to Olivia Newton-John. That’s love song, a lovely bit of psychedelic pop.
Do you mind not know about? I didn’t know how to know about. I obviously knew her more famous work
in Graease and not the country, the film. And Xanadu, that’s a mad film Xanadu. Working with
ELO and covering Dylan, If Not For You, which that’s from the album, Nice to Do One. Named
after that was her first real hit really. Not massive hit, but a hit. But yes, very psychedelic,
very early 70s. Very lovely. And then before that we had Tinder Sticks with a cover of Pavements
Here from the BBC Sessions from 2007. Because it’s the BBC version, not the version that was
released on a certain label, which is actually Island, which might be a certain big bad evil
company owns. But I think sure when they did that, where there was late 90s, early 2000s. And yeah,
Tinder sticks make it more mournful, but I love the first lyric of that. I was dressed for success,
but success it never came. Your jokes are always bad. Those bits are just all the best songs in
the 90s. Very strangely, you don’t really know what it’s about. But it just seemed to express that
sort of slacker, lost generation mood. Then before that, we had Habib with Marde Tanhaye Shab,
which I probably know what’s wrong, Iranian song from, well, pre-revolution, so pre-79,
I think it’s late 70s, 78, 77 or something like that. And that, I know, I was looking at
translations of the lyrics. I thought it was, there’s no way did we look about his mother,
which I think I’ve played previously. It’s not that one. That’s the called The Lonely Man of the
Night. When the lyrics sort of translation goes, I’m the lonely man of the night, a seal of silence
on my lips. I’ve left lonely and sad, have lost hope in everybody, alone and lonely, sad and
infamous. I’m the lonely one, the one without a tomorrow. I am the lonely man of the night, a seal
of silence on my lips. Yeah, then it goes on very similar mode, but it’s a really beautiful,
really beautiful song. I love the synth backing, which is unusual for Arabic songs of that time.
Not totally unusual, but you know, it’s just kind of shows you what was in Iran before the
revolution and that was all destroyed. It’s sad, very sad. There was a wealth of music there.
Then before that, we had Oki with Christina versus Pink Floyd. That’s the title.
Is anybody out there versus Hurt. What’s it really about? Linda Perry’s father had died. I don’t usually tell you
this, but there’s usually a mashup or a song which was supposed to be the key song of this podcast
would be Your Woman by Whitetown. But kind of situations changed and it’s one of them,
but the main one has to be that mashup by Alan Hurley, Meeting In The Woods, Taylor Swift versus
Radiohead. There’s usually one song or thing that sums up the whole podcast. Not always,
but usually there’s a thing that’s just like, that’s the point. This is the fulcrum where the whole
of it rotates around. That’s that track. For personal reasons, just emotionally, that’s the kind of
sentiment I wanted to say, really, in that. And that is the winner of the Deep Cut challenge,
which Totom set in the Crumplbangers Discord deservedly. I mean, it’s meeting in the aisle
versus out of the woods. And those two go so well together, like they were meant to be
together. So it’s an amazing mashup. But also, the mood of, there’s like a queasy mood of a
relationship gone awry and the whole things going kind of slightly out of sync, looking back to when
it seemed to be finer, but it was just a vain attempt. That is a bit like Your Woman, a good
assessment of what really relationships are like outside the Moon-June shit. Then before that,
we had Chocomang, another Radiohead mashup. They seem to dwell well together. That’s
here’s where my Iron Lung ends. The Sundays, here’s where the story ends, one of my favorite songs of
all time, versus Radiohead’s Iron Lung. I didn’t know. I really loved Iron Lung. I think I’ve
got it on CD single. It’s actually about Creep. It’s about the fact they hated their song so much.
And that’s how the lyrics about, you know, here’s a new song, you won’t like it.
You know, here’s a new podcast, you won’t like it. I totally get that. And the fact that you can
have some success in one thing all one time. And then everyone expects you to repeat it again and
again. It becomes a millstone around their neck, which is what happened with Creep. And they got
past it. Yeah, it’s screwed Thom Yorke up and it ended up for a while. And that’s by Chocomang
from 2018. I’ve got to say, the Oki mashup was from 2009. I thought it was a new mashup when
you played it on Crumplstock. I asked him to send it to me because it was like, what is this
mashup? This is brilliant. And it’s like, oh, no, it’s true that it’s an old one. And I really
think Okie should have blurred his old stuff. And then before that, we had one of mine, a rare one
of mine. Well, not rare until now, but I’m on hiatus at the moment, has Instamatic with Fight for
Your Love, H.E.R. Her versus Whitesnake. I like what I did with Whitesnake that that was for
Adriana’s challenge. She had a challenge, which I played propane nightmare from DJ Nono, the last
podcast, but she had a hair metal challenge. But I wanted, I was going to fit it in into the podcast,
but I was like, no, it didn’t seem to fit. But I was gutted because actually it’s one of the
mashups I’m most proud of in recent times, because the Whitesnake is so different in that form.
And it shows the fact that David Coverdale came from a soul roots. He came from a very
difference of blues. It was in deep purple. So it’s got that different bluesy backing and it
works, it works. And so that’s Iziz Love versus her fight for you from the Fred Hampton movie,
Judas and the Black Messiah. But I like the fact a lot of my recent mashups have been about
revolution and have worked that in resistance, not so subtly or sometimes more subtly. And I
like that’s in there as well. It’s sort of working against itself in a way, because it seems to be
a song saying Iziz Love, you know, and then but you’ve got the fight for you, which is ostensibly
about relationship, but actually is about revolution. So yeah, you’ve got this contradiction
going on, which I think I pretty much perfected recently. I think it sounds very arrogant,
but I think I really got that that seemed to be working. But at the moment, I when I got back
for the Jaunt working all day, I just like I’m surprised to be recording this. I got to his
point was like, I think I can’t do any I just didn’t want to do any mashups. I didn’t want to do any
podcasts. And the podcast has sort of come to me, but the mashups haven’t. And we don’t we’ll see,
did you know no has done one? But I don’t know whether I can do any more. I don’t know. It’s
for a while. It’s a time for a rest. It’s an exhausting time. And then before that, we had
Pinkhairmashups with cool sad summer nights as Cassie Steele versus Lana Del Rey versus Demi
Lovato. I know the two of the track, I don’t know the Cassie Steele. And yeah, I like that sort of
Samba. And I think they apologize that they couldn’t get a good enough instrumental for the backing,
but I do quite like I know PDS has talked about this. I actually quite like the fact that it’s
sort of quite rough. And it’s quite, you know, a bit like those optigan loops, the old sampling,
the records you get in the old organs are all crackly. I quite like that it’s a Samba,
but it’s warped. It’s not right, not sounding really right. But yeah, I quite like that feeling
of just like your wonkyness. But yes, you know, otherwise it works perfectly. I have to say
Crawl for the Summer is not an easy track to wear with. I’ve done that. That was on the
Summer Booty compilation, the one with Gremlins theme. So I reached the end of the podcast.
Finally, it’s been a long one. And it’s going to be a nightmare to edit, I think.
And yeah, I hope you’re all well. I said, I’m not sure when I’m going to do another one of these.
You know, it’s going to be very much played by mood for the next
month or two. And also there’s a possibility I might go back out again. So to finish the walk.
I don’t know. I did that last year and it all went a bit wrong, but I’ve got better gear this time.
So I might be all right. And I’m not going to try and use a wood stove, which is there is a point,
and this might sound terrible, but there is a point of where you try to do everything completely
ultralight or everything completely ecologically, and it fails horribly. Because there is a limit
to what you can do. You can’t do everything you can do. You can walk somewhere useful to transport
gray and you can, you know, and try and be as green as possible. But yeah, picking up twigs
and then trying to burn them for your dinner doesn’t work unless you pick up literally hundreds
and thousands of twigs. They burn too quickly. And yeah, I had problems on that jaunt too.
So I’m aware of that this time. And also I’m aware of how rude the people in Weymouth can be.
I’ve now got dehydrator. So I’m now dehydrating my own jerky and I’ve done a bunch of mushrooms and
eventually I’ll do my meals. So that’s all going well. Either they’ll be ready for next year,
early next year, or for this year if I go out again. So yeah, plans are afoot around the artwork and
things to do with them, which if you list the jaunts, the podcast you would know more about.
But yeah, there are a few things I’m planning to do. And so I think that’s why I am going to be
possibly a bit sporadic with the podcast. I think I will keep up with the podcast, but you know,
it might be less regular. Mashups may not be because I’ve been releasing so many for the
challenges. And it’s just got this point where it’s, you know, if you check out my blog, you
probably wouldn’t know that. But if you go to Sowndhaus, Sowndhaus.com, it’s about the SH,
S-O-W-N-D-H-A-U-S. So how’s the German? And then look for Tim B, or Instamatic, or DJNoNo,
you will see lots of tracks. I need to post them up on my blog. But yeah, I was doing several
a week for many weeks and it was just got this point where I was like, I felt like it was a bit
of churning them out. But I think I got a lot better doing it. It was a good thing to do. I
think I’m very proud of what I’ve done. But yeah, I think we need to focus on things now.
So anyway, I’m gonna play out with two tracks. One from the new Braxe and DJ Falcon EP. I didn’t
know that Alan Braxe was, I think this cousin is DJ Falcon. So they’ve done an EP together called
Step by Step. And I’m not so fond of the radio main version, but I really, really like the bonus
beat version, which is much more the kind of French touch sort of dreamy thing you’d expect from
DJ Falcon and Alan Braxe. So this is Step by Step bonus beat featuring Panda Bear. And then afterwards
we’ve got, because they seem to work well together, we’ve got Tresspasser’s William with their cover of
Rainbow Connection another track I’ve been keeping back from the Sing Me To Sleep
Indie Lullaby’s compilation from 2010. So I’ll speak to you soon.
Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices?
I’m going to scrap all this. Scrap all this. Scrap all this. We can’t do it.
