So its been awhile... I was in MD for a week-ish, doing works. Stayed with Abby but didn't get a chance to see her or go out much. Still a fun (and free!) trip.
I've been meaning to post a new thread in the group's forums about this, as we never ever talk about it, but I'll kick tha start by posting here as well...
I listen to some strange music. Right now I'm into mashups mostly, but I also buy MixMag ( http://www.mixmag.net ) every month and listen to the attached free (not really free as its a fucking $10 magazine) CD. This months was pretty good, ""Disco 2006"" even though nothing on it could be called disco by common definition, mixed by Erol Alkan. The real stand-out track for me was Switch's remix of Spank Rock's Bump. I have never heard anything from Switch or Spank Rock to the best of my knowledge before this. Holy crap. Fanfuckingtastic is all I can say. And, Spank Rock is based out of Bawlmer! Seredipitous! You can listen to the original version here or erol playing Switch's version here. Anyway, I'm trying to find more stuff with the female rapper that collaborates with Spank Rock on a few tracks and is the center-piece vocals on the Switch Bump. Her name's Amanda Blank and she's ridiculous. Drop me a comment if you know anything.
As to mashups, they are everywhere and free, for the most part. There is a pretty large scene based around the San Fran club Bootie ( http://www.bootiesf.com ) and DJ Earworm has some great links on his site as well ( http://www.djearworm.com ). Check it all out! Give this in particular a listen-to.
PEACE!
