RC 394: A Place To Hide

Sometimes you need a room full strangers to make you feel less alone, A place dark enough to make yourself unknown, unknowable,but…home somehow,A place to hide somehow, at least that’s how it feels. Antony Szmierek No murder on the dancefloor with a spoken word club mix about lhaving a place to hide with your rum and ginger beer and losing those life and joy-giving queer spaces … A very mashup/dance heavy podcast, from acid house meets Pink Floyd to phonk, the new-ish Orbital track, a track from the upcoming Arab Strap album (it’s released in April not May), War of the Worlds, walking and hiking, jungle, ALEXA PLAY PUMPED UP KICKS with tracks about personal assistants, and five gold rings…no, five new mashups from me, including a remake of an old Reborn Identity classic.

A Place To Hide, and there’s no jingle this time, I thought, well, we’ve 00:04:05.740 –> 00:04:09.880got this long section from the end is much which I love, I love the fact you’re hearing 00:04:09.880 –> 00:04:11.400all the Martians here. 00:04:11.400 –> 00:04:19.080This is iWillBattle with War the Houdinis, Dua Lipa vs Jeff Wayne, War of the Worlds, 00:04:19.080 –> 00:04:24.400and at the start you heard SpongeBob SquareWave from 2023 that this is one new day you don’t 00:04:24.400 –> 00:04:29.440want to fuck, which I love the way that sort of chops up that sample. 00:04:29.440 –> 00:04:37.260I hope you’re all well, I’ve been, oh, I’ve been so busy doing hiking shizzle, so hiking 00:04:37.260 –> 00:04:44.900YouTube stuff, nearly 500 subscribers now, about sort of 16 away, and I don’t want to 00:04:44.900 –> 00:04:49.500jinx it because I know I’m just saying this, but like, I’ll probably go down next week, 00:04:49.500 –> 00:04:50.500it always does. 00:04:50.500 –> 00:04:56.700And I’ve just posted on my second attempt at the South Downs Way trip where I did 45 00:04:56.700 –> 00:05:02.720miles, you can find that over at YouTube at @HardUpHiker, just at @HardUpHiker or where 00:05:02.720 –> 00:05:04.720you’ll find it. 00:05:04.720 –> 00:05:09.800And yeah, I screwed my knee up, I think maybe I mentioned it in the last podcast, it’s 00:05:09.800 –> 00:05:16.680taken five, six weeks, and I did about 50 miles for walking last week, including two 00:05:16.680 –> 00:05:22.56012 mile hikes with the full pack, and I’ve got a video about that next week, but you 00:05:22.560 –> 00:05:26.820know, I kind of felt I had to kind of build back up again, it’s like, you know, training 00:05:26.820 –> 00:05:30.820or, you know, recuperation, but it’s taken a very long time and it’s been very annoying 00:05:30.820 –> 00:05:35.460because I had all these plans and because The Big Freeze finished and everything, warmer 00:05:35.460 –> 00:05:40.980again and I couldn’t go out, and I was like, now it’s all rains, obviously, we had the 00:05:40.980 –> 00:05:47.540full spring, and now we’re having the proper spring, which is very wet, so yeah, I meant 00:05:47.540 –> 00:05:53.600to get this out earlier, and I say it’s just way too, way too busy, the one I did previously 00:05:53.600 –> 00:05:57.400was a stopgap, I mean that’s the thing with the deep dive shows, they’re very much things 00:05:57.400 –> 00:06:01.800where I’ve got them and I just want to do a quickie, when I want to do a quickie, yeah, 00:06:01.800 –> 00:06:06.680and this case with this one is that it’s just been hanging around for the last couple of 00:06:06.680 –> 00:06:10.920weeks, ready to go, and I’ve just haven’t had time to record it, it’s supposed to have 00:06:10.920 –> 00:06:15.600been for February, and this is now going to be for March really, and it’s more of a 00:06:15.600 –> 00:06:22.140mash-up show, but more about clubs, and when the clubs closed down back in the pandemic 00:06:22.140 –> 00:06:28.020and how I reacted to that, and hence the phrase ‘a place to hide’ is from a song later on 00:06:28.020 –> 00:06:33.500in the podcast by Antony Szmierek, but we’re going to start in typical fashion, with nothing 00:06:33.500 –> 00:06:42.380to do with the theme, this is Shades of Fade to Grey, Visage vs Delaney Jane by Sir Hank. 00:53:25.060 –> 00:53:54.320That had to be Pete Cannon, and Mistrees with their 2023 take of The Streets Blinded By The Lights, and before that was The 00:53:54.320 –> 00:54:00.000Streets, We Become Heroes, The 9Trane Edit, and that was from 2022. 00:54:00.000 –> 00:54:05.940I had to have those songs somehow in here in a mashup or remix form, because they’re 00:54:05.940 –> 00:54:10.140very much about clubbing, and I wasn’t a part of the Acid House Summer. 00:54:10.140 –> 00:54:14.100I was a bit too young for all the Acid House stuff, but the original Summer of Love, he was 00:54:14.100 –> 00:54:19.380like five years later and writing about five years before, and now it’s 30 years later. 00:54:19.380 –> 00:54:20.380Twenty years? 00:54:20.380 –> 00:54:21.380Yeah. 00:54:21.380 –> 00:54:22.380I feel old. 00:54:22.380 –> 00:54:26.480And before that, in honour of the fact that I can’t go to these places anymore, we have 00:54:26.480 –> 00:54:32.360bis Irrelevant disco from 2022’s System Music for Home Defense, and that’s all about 00:54:32.360 –> 00:54:37.820seemingly becoming irrelevant, and just wondering if anyone’s out there, which I totally, totally 00:54:37.820 –> 00:54:38.820get. 00:54:38.820 –> 00:54:40.640What could that relate to? 00:54:40.640 –> 00:54:45.520And also, the fact that you can’t afford to go to Tokyo, I can never afford to go to 00:54:45.520 –> 00:54:46.520Tokyo. 00:54:46.520 –> 00:54:49.760I probably could have when I was younger, but now you can’t afford to go places that 00:54:49.760 –> 00:54:52.020you were, and the kind of things move on. 00:54:52.020 –> 00:54:53.020You know, like Glastonbury. 00:54:53.020 –> 00:54:54.020I used to go to Glastonbury. 00:54:54.020 –> 00:54:56.860I can’t afford to go to Glastonbury anymore, which is really sad. 00:54:56.860 –> 00:55:03.260Then before that, we have, For Those I Love, with I Have a Love, the Overmono remix from 00:55:03.260 –> 00:55:04.2602021. 00:55:04.260 –> 00:55:10.740And I didn’t know about that until weirdly, Ivo Graham was talking about, was reviewing 00:55:10.740 –> 00:55:17.540the Huw Stevens Round Table, the track that I played earlier, the Orbital, and said he 00:55:17.540 –> 00:55:21.560reminded him of that track, and it was like, I’ve never heard that, and I went and checked 00:55:21.560 –> 00:55:23.060out the Boiler Room. 00:55:23.060 –> 00:55:29.120For Those I Love is an Irish poet, and he arrives on stage in the Boiler Room, and he 00:55:29.120 –> 00:55:33.440is really like, wow, yes, it’s like the whole stage is levitating, and everyone’s just so 00:55:33.440 –> 00:55:34.440into it. 00:55:34.440 –> 00:55:38.760It was about his friend who died, so I relate to it in the sense that, you know, it’s also 00:55:38.760 –> 00:55:43.520I Have a Love of clubbing, and I think that’s also in there as well, but also it’s a very 00:55:43.520 –> 00:55:50.100specific love for someone else, and love for doing spoken word, and love for doing your 00:55:50.100 –> 00:55:51.100thing. 00:55:51.100 –> 00:55:55.060And then before that, we had something that was about the lockdown, that’s Marea (We’ve 00:55:55.060 –> 00:56:02.420Lost Dancing) vs At Night, Switch Disco Edit, and that’s Fred Again featuring the Blessed 00:56:02.420 –> 00:56:07.620Madonna, and Switch Disco have mixed in some Shakedown, and that seemed to work really well. 00:56:07.620 –> 00:56:10.300I mean, again, I wanted to play that, but I played the original, but then I found that 00:56:10.300 –> 00:56:13.720mashup edit, and I was like, oh, that’s perfect. 00:56:13.720 –> 00:56:17.160It’s a bit weird, yeah, I haven’t heard of Switch, well, it says Switch Disco, I don’t 00:56:17.160 –> 00:56:21.080know if that’s Switch, as in the Switch producer, or whether it’s Switch Disco or someone else. 00:56:21.080 –> 00:56:24.800I’m not totally sure, I’m not sure. 00:56:24.800 –> 00:56:28.600And then before that, I’ve all mentioned Martin Badder and Antony Szmierek with A Place 00:56:28.600 –> 00:56:36.440to Hide, from 2023, when I was a single, and he’s doing the Manchester Six Music, another 00:56:36.440 –> 00:56:41.860thing I can’t go to, the 6Music Festival, which is, you know, quite rightly so. 00:56:41.860 –> 00:56:43.460We love Antony Szmierek here. 00:56:43.460 –> 00:56:50.180And then before that, we had, it me, Instamatic, not the winner of the Crumplbanger Challenge, 00:56:50.180 –> 00:56:51.340but I did actually win that challenge. 00:56:51.340 –> 00:56:55.180It was a challenge to create phonk mashups, and I had not really come across a genre 00:56:55.180 –> 00:57:02.100called phonk, which seems to be very much using those tomtoms, you know, those tuned 808 tomtoms. 00:57:02.100 –> 00:57:07.120Quite often, distortion, and it’s sort of this Memphis thing, but Kordhell, who I mashed 00:57:07.120 –> 00:57:09.840up there, is actually a British producer. 00:57:09.840 –> 00:57:13.920And that’s Houdini Fatality, Houdini again, I do like Houdini, it’s a brilliant song, 00:57:13.920 –> 00:57:15.640Dua Lipa versus Kordhell. 00:57:15.640 –> 00:57:22.240I’ve done like four or five Kordhell mashups in the last month or so, I’m a big fan of 00:57:22.240 –> 00:57:23.240his work. 00:57:23.240 –> 00:57:29.480It’s just a very interesting, it’s a bit like more tempo, witch house, or like stream 00:57:29.480 –> 00:57:30.480thing. 00:57:30.480 –> 00:57:34.980There’s, there’s 80s references in there, and they use a lot of samples of Memphis 00:57:34.980 –> 00:57:38.140rappers quite sped up and you can hardly work out what they are. 00:57:38.140 –> 00:57:43.780I had fun making them more pop, which is probably against their, against their image with all 00:57:43.780 –> 00:57:48.500the skulls and all the purple skulls and everything to make it all. 00:57:48.500 –> 00:57:52.940I did a Whitney Houston one, and I did another one, which I’ll play later on. 00:57:52.940 –> 00:57:57.460And then before that, we had a mashup, which I missed out on, it was just about three months 00:57:57.460 –> 00:58:03.800ago, or maybe a bit longer now, at Dunproofin’ with Flash, Green Velvet versus Joey Beltram 00:58:03.800 –> 00:58:04.800versus Queen. 00:58:04.800 –> 00:58:09.960Oh, I mean, Green Velvet is about being in a club and looking at all of the naughty 00:58:09.960 –> 00:58:12.640kiddies doing naughty things. 00:58:12.640 –> 00:58:15.320Who doesn’t like, you know, Queen meeting Acid House? 00:58:15.320 –> 00:58:20.080I don’t know, is it Joey, Joey Beltram is more techno, isn’t he? 00:58:20.080 –> 00:58:21.080Techno. 00:58:21.080 –> 00:58:22.960So yeah, I like that a lot. 00:58:22.960 –> 00:58:29.620And then before that, we had Tonight in Belfast, Orbital with David Holmes, Mike Garry doing 00:58:29.620 –> 00:58:32.300the spoken word and DJ Helen. 00:58:32.300 –> 00:58:36.400And that was a release at the start of February, which is why I know this mix was kind of inspired 00:58:36.400 –> 00:58:40.180it, but it was like, yeah, it kind of broke off from there and then I wanted to do a Place 00:58:40.180 –> 00:58:43.020To Hide and I heard that and went, that’s perfect. 00:58:43.020 –> 00:58:48.220I wanted to do a whole spoken word club mix, but then it became about a thing, obviously. 00:58:48.220 –> 00:58:54.360I mean, quite emotional. And interestingly, in a similar sense of hiding, although in 00:58:54.360 –> 00:59:00.080a different sense, more like looking on headphones and getting away from people, we have Bliss 00:59:00.080 –> 00:59:04.080by Arab Strap, with the new Arab Strap album, which hasn’t been released yet, or I don’t 00:59:04.080 –> 00:59:09.160know, maybe it’s been released now, but certainly, I don’t think it has been come out yet. 00:59:09.160 –> 00:59:11.240But yeah, I really like that a lot. 00:59:11.240 –> 00:59:12.240That’s really, really cool. 00:59:12.240 –> 00:59:16.800It’s very much about having to react to people living in a city. 00:59:16.800 –> 00:59:20.740The whole thing about sitting here, you know, having to shut people off and you put on your 00:59:20.740 –> 00:59:25.900headphones or go hiking and get away and go camping in the middle of a wood somewhere, 00:59:25.900 –> 00:59:27.300which is another way of doing it. 00:59:27.300 –> 00:59:28.300It all relates. 00:59:28.300 –> 00:59:29.300It all relates. 00:59:29.300 –> 00:59:33.740And the start is actually just a mashup I really like, although it has a similar mood 00:59:33.740 –> 00:59:39.820to the Arab Strap mix, Sir Hank, with Shades Of Fade To Gray, Visage versus Delaney Jane. 00:59:39.820 –> 00:59:43.700I don’t know Delaney Jane, but I love how the interplay of those vocals worked really 00:59:43.700 –> 00:59:44.700well. 00:59:44.700 –> 00:59:49.200And that is, I wouldn’t say it’s hard to do, it’s half spotting two combinations that 00:59:49.200 –> 00:59:50.200work really well. 00:59:50.200 –> 00:59:54.240And the other one is knowing how to interweave them to make a flow narrative. 00:59:54.240 –> 00:59:57.120And a lot of people get it wrong, they try and chop it all up and it’s all goes. 00:59:57.120 –> 01:00:03.560And it’s like, no simple respect when it comes to juxtaposing two things to relate to each 01:00:03.560 –> 01:00:04.560other. 01:00:04.560 –> 01:00:05.560It’s best to let them breathe. 01:00:05.560 –> 01:00:07.520Don’t change it to another diva every 30 seconds. 01:00:07.520 –> 01:00:08.520And I really hate that. 01:00:08.520 –> 01:00:13.520And when you’ve got a combination that speaks to both bits, that is a good combination. 01:00:13.520 –> 01:00:16.660And I feel that about that one. 01:00:16.660 –> 01:00:23.540So we’re going to change track and play some rock, but I have to say this is something 01:00:23.540 –> 01:00:29.380I heard via, iWillBattle, iWillBattle does a top 10 or did a top 10 for January. 01:00:29.380 –> 01:00:30.860I’m not, was it February? 01:00:30.860 –> 01:00:31.860I don’t know. 01:00:31.860 –> 01:00:36.560I was in the top 10 for mashups for rock, but I can’t remember if it was end of January 01:00:36.560 –> 01:00:41.980or early February, but, but yes, I was in the top 10 with a track you’ll hear later. 01:00:41.980 –> 01:00:48.640But he also played this track by, I originally thought it was by Lewis Wake and I was looking 01:00:48.640 –> 01:00:49.640at Lewis wake’s Bandcamp. 01:00:49.640 –> 01:00:50.640Where is it? 01:00:50.640 –> 01:00:51.640Where is it? 01:00:51.640 –> 01:00:52.640Where is it? 01:00:52.640 –> 01:00:53.640And it turns out it’s actually by someone called Lewis Scarole. 01:00:53.640 –> 01:00:54.640I don’t know them. 01:00:54.640 –> 01:01:00.120I don’t know if they’re a Mashup Reddit person, but this is really cool because I know DJNoNo 01:01:00.120 –> 01:01:04.840loves and I love Mike Oldfield & Maggie Reilly’s Moonlight Shadow. 01:01:04.840 –> 01:01:08.280And I was thinking there wasn’t enough Moonlight Shadow mashups. 01:01:08.280 –> 01:01:12.700That’s why DJNoNo did theirs with the Pixies and someone’s done one with Bloc 01:01:12.700 –> 01:01:13.700Party. 01:01:13.700 –> 01:01:16.700This is Moonlight Banquet. 01:38:19.640 –> 01:38:25.680That was one of mine that’s TBC aka Instamatic with ‘The Great Grande in the Sky’ Ariana 01:38:25.680 –> 01:38:32.960Grande as ‘yes and’, versus ‘Pink Floy’ds The Great Gig in the Sky’, then before that 01:38:32.960 –> 01:38:35.460I think we’re the best moody mash I’ve heard. 01:38:35.460 –> 01:38:42.020Well, definitely this year if not in a very long time, that’s ToTom with high times on 01:38:42.020 –> 01:38:48.140Acid Eiffel With Dying Slaves Of Fear In The Sky, that’s Health versus Yungblud and Lil 01:38:48.140 –> 01:38:55.900Yachty Pink Floyd versus Choice, and that was the winner in, well, when I won the Phonk 01:38:55.900 –> 01:39:02.620Challenge, I had to judge one and I chose acid house, and that’s like a 13 minute, nearly 01:39:02.620 –> 01:39:08.20014 minute acid mash-up epic, and it’s probably the longest mash-up I’ve played in this podcast, 01:39:08.200 –> 01:39:13.560one of them, and I played almost all of it and just mixed out right at the end and start, 01:39:13.560 –> 01:39:18.360but it is brilliant, I’m really glad ToTom finished that, it’s really good. 01:39:18.360 –> 01:39:24.760And then before that we heard Caserta with Lights Off, we had a sort of a Alexa section 01:39:24.760 –> 01:39:30.400because there was this running joke in the Crumplstock about something which PomDeter 01:39:30.400 –> 01:39:35.980played, which is shouting ‘Alexa, play Pumped Up Kicks’ at a pork pie, there’s a 01:39:35.980 –> 01:39:40.020video of just an hour of someone doing that, and he played 17 minutes of that and then 01:39:40.020 –> 01:39:46.660it became a thing and then I ran with it and did a mash-up during the Crumplstock for 01:39:46.660 –> 01:39:53.580the phonk challenge, so that was the end of January, that was about a month ago, time flies, 01:39:53.580 –> 01:40:00.560hence that’s what that comes from. So that was DJNo No’s Phonked Up Kicks, Foster The People 01:40:00.560 –> 01:40:05.560vs. Kordhell vs. Chin Stroke TV, which is the person who did the shouting at a pork 01:40:05.560 –> 01:40:11.360pie, but then I thought, well, I wanted to play some Negativland, I was going through 01:40:11.360 –> 01:40:17.580the Live Brain live Negativland shows I was at in 2020, fortunately they had to cancel the 01:40:17.580 –> 01:40:22.880one recently because of illness, there’s ‘I’m Going To Sing Now (London 2)’, I was 01:40:22.880 –> 01:40:26.740there for both of them, I think actually, the Weatherman’s singing, but it’s 01:40:26.740 –> 01:40:32.220all him interacting with Alexa and Okay Google, so it’s funny how it says, that’s why left 01:40:32.220 –> 01:40:36.580the drum and bass going, it says, ‘Music of the Spheres’ is 180 beats or whatever, in music 01:40:36.580 –> 01:40:42.440from the cosmos, 180 beats or more, and it’s like, oh, and then before that, aforementioned 01:40:42.440 –> 01:40:47.140more ‘Jungle’ really, that’s ‘Mirror Method’ by Charla Green, I’ve really been digging 01:40:47.140 –> 01:40:54.320Charla Green, Charla Green is a Sheffield Jungle drum bass producer, and yeah, I’m 01:40:54.320 –> 01:41:00.680really liking what she’s producing, so that’s from 2021, check her out, as she has a bit 01:41:00.680 –> 01:41:06.560of a quiet YouTube channel where she’s making music from various sound and things, but also 01:41:06.560 –> 01:41:14.120that one is on Off Me Nut Records, Ian Fondue posted the SpongeBob Squarewave, 01:41:14.120 –> 01:41:18.900an older one of SpongeBob Squarewave, so thanks to Ian Fondue for that, but then I checked 01:41:18.900 –> 01:41:22.680out the more recent stuff, and hence the intro thing, and that was all relating to the acid 01:41:22.680 –> 01:41:29.480challenge, and then before that, we had Shahar Varshal with, as it was like heaven, The Cure 01:41:29.480 –> 01:41:34.680versus Genesis, me and Genesis mashup, so yes, versus Ultravox versus Harry 01:41:34.680 –> 01:41:38.800Styles, I love that Harry Styles song, I love the Genesis song, but yeah, that 01:41:38.800 –> 01:41:43.400works pretty well, I mean, you know, I was talking about how things have to have a narrative 01:41:43.400 –> 01:41:47.480flow or whatever, but they don’t necessarily have to be too chin-strokey or a little bit 01:41:47.480 –> 01:41:51.080more chop and change, but it’s still, you know, The Cure goes really well with Genesis, 01:41:51.080 –> 01:41:55.320The Ultravox and Harry Styles, it has a similar mood, or there’s a connection 01:41:55.320 –> 01:41:59.840there between them, like telling a story, like with a ToTom, finding very disparate things 01:41:59.840 –> 01:42:05.520that sound similar, and have a similar vibe, I’m going to tell a story, that’s what a 01:42:05.520 –> 01:42:11.720good multi-mash is, but so many people don’t do it probably, and then at the start section 01:42:11.720 –> 01:42:17.720we had Lewis Scarole with Mike Oldfield, Moonlight Shadow versus Bloc Party, is it ‘Helicopter’, 01:42:17.720 –> 01:42:22.000I forget the name of that one, I think it’s ‘Helicopter’, I should know, 2004, 20 years 01:42:22.000 –> 01:42:31.400ago, again, fitting old, fitting old, so, you know, play a track from Adriana A’s album, 01:42:31.400 –> 01:42:38.880Adriana she released a album right at the end of 2023 of a collection of mashups created 01:42:38.880 –> 01:42:42.400over the last year, and there were a lot are related to challenges I think, and it’s, I 01:42:42.400 –> 01:42:53.780have tried to say it, it’s ‘Imashionationships’, I can’t say that, and this is, I so loved 01:42:53.780 –> 01:42:59.560seeing Tracy Chapman at the Grammys, I think I posted about it on the blog, RadioClash.com, 01:42:59.560 –> 01:43:03.680he sold me on Luke Combs really, because before I was a bit like, who is this person, 01:43:03.680 –> 01:43:08.480kind of dimly knew the name, very big in country, but I was like, hmm, who is this person, and 01:43:08.480 –> 01:43:15.400you can see the respect and love for Tracy that he has in the performance, and how apparently 01:43:15.400 –> 01:43:20.720they made it so that Tracy had complete veto, complete agreement over the arrangement, it 01:43:20.720 –> 01:43:26.440was her chance to shine, it was her thing, you know, they made sure it was about her, 01:43:26.440 –> 01:43:31.120and we could tell just by the way he was on stage that it was deferring to her, almost 01:43:31.120 –> 01:43:36.040nervous to sing with her, and it obviously meant a lot to him, and a very moving version, 01:43:36.040 –> 01:43:41.280so this is, I Keep Forgetting You’ve Got A Fast Car, that’s Luke Combs versus Michael 01:43:41.280 –> 01:43:46.400MacDonald, a bit of, yacht mashing, yacht mashing, yacht folk, is that a thing? 01:43:46.400 –> 01:43:48.760I don’t know. :18.860 –> 02:08:25.440This is Tony Mason-Cox, hItting The Bottom, from Songs in the Key of Z, Vol 3, I didn’t 02:08:25.440 –> 02:08:31.400realize that I think they were unofficial that Songs in the Key of Z, 1 and 2 were in 02:08:31.400 –> 02:08:32.400Tuesday. 02:08:32.400 –> 02:08:36.960I don’t know if 3 and 4 are how official they are, especially 3 which ends on the four 02:08:36.960 –> 02:08:44.560tracks by a child rapist, which, you know, I was like, hmm, Google, who is this person? 02:08:44.560 –> 02:08:49.700Oh, there he is in the sexual offender registry in the United States. 02:08:49.700 –> 02:08:50.700Yeah, lovely. /s 02:08:50.700 –> 02:08:55.620So I really wouldn’t buy that album, but I love that. 02:08:55.620 –> 02:09:00.980It’s kind of like existential and also funny at the same time, which is, you know, perfect. 02:09:00.980 –> 02:09:04.500I’ve been checking out lots of outside in music recently, and I’ve been hearing a lot 02:09:04.500 –> 02:09:10.260via PDSMix’s Brave New Weird Show, and it’s all inspired me to go and check them out. 02:09:10.260 –> 02:09:17.040I have to say, I have mixed feelings because I remember the heyday of WFMU, I mean, still 02:09:17.040 –> 02:09:23.280going, but you know, the 365 Days Project and those compilations being released, you 02:09:23.280 –> 02:09:28.480know, and finding Shooby Taylor, and there’s all that sort of stuff, early 2000s, and it 02:09:28.480 –> 02:09:34.320seems like that used most of the pot, apart from the old thing like that one, but a lot 02:09:34.320 –> 02:09:39.660after the pot of the good tracks. And now there’s this thing so bad it’s good and just 02:09:39.660 –> 02:09:44.940bad or me. There’s a lot of stuff I hear that’s outside of music. It’s like the next big thing. 02:09:44.940 –> 02:09:50.060It’s like, you know, it doesn’t, maybe just something happens when you listen to a lot 02:09:50.060 –> 02:09:54.980of outside of music. It just becomes not as good as it used to be, but I don’t know. 02:09:54.980 –> 02:09:59.700Then before that, we had KKill_mR_DJ with, I Wasn’t Made For Surprises, Radiohead versus 02:09:59.700 –> 02:10:05.920Billie Eilish. Yes, I love the Billie Eilish song. So, and that was kind of obvious, perfect. 02:10:05.920 –> 02:10:09.580And I was like, Oh, why didn’t I think of that? But then again, I don’t think I’d do 02:10:09.580 –> 02:10:13.940another Radiohead mesh for a while. I’ve been too many of them. I’ve certainly done several 02:10:13.940 –> 02:10:19.320so no surprises ones. Then before that, we had iWillBattle with I Lose Control Of You, 02:10:19.320 –> 02:10:24.080Teddy Swims, which is currently in the charts, I think, versus Nina Simone, who isn’t the 02:10:24.080 –> 02:10:29.640currently in the charts, but should be. I lose control and I put a spell on you. That 02:10:29.640 –> 02:10:36.380works very well. Then before that, we had from 1975, the B side of You Sexy Thing is 02:10:36.380 –> 02:10:40.880the proof of the Hot Chocolate were nore than You Sexy Thing. That’s A Warm Smile that was 02:10:40.880 –> 02:10:45.660written and performed by the other members of the band. So not Errol Brown, a beautiful 02:10:45.660 –> 02:10:50.580song and a couple of theirs are really good. Really, I’ve been banging on for ages about 02:10:50.580 –> 02:10:56.160Hot Chocolate and how you know, I’ve been diving into the B sides and stuff and how they kind 02:10:56.160 –> 02:11:02.040of got known as being this novelty disco funk act. Every 1’S A Winner. YOu Sexy Thing in 02:11:02.040 –> 02:11:09.840a very pop disco funk, but they were much, much more from day one. Then before that, 02:11:09.840 –> 02:11:15.560we had a track kind of by me kind of not that’s TBC aka Instamatic with Boulevard of Broken 02:11:15.560 –> 02:11:21.820Dreamcoat Green Day versus Boards of Canada. But originally that was done by Reborn Identity 02:11:21.820 –> 02:11:27.380Gavin in 2008. And I found that version. I was like, this is good, but you know, I want 02:11:27.380 –> 02:11:32.460the high quality version. So I made it myself. But then I made it different by adding in 02:11:32.460 –> 02:11:38.940all of the bits of that’s Billie Joe Armstrong at five years old. He recorded a single Live 02:11:38.940 –> 02:11:42.620To Love, I think it was. And I think one of the Green Day albums, they had a little bit 02:11:42.620 –> 02:11:50.280of it of the interview on the B side, I used a lot more of it. Boards of Canada Chromakey 02:11:50.280 –> 02:11:57.440Dreamcoat is the backing. And there aren’t that many mashups of Campfire Headphase at 02:11:57.440 –> 02:12:01.920all. And there should be a lot more and heard that one and I was ahh. And I also extended it. He didn’t 02:12:01.920 –> 02:12:07.080do the end section. So it’s, it’s called a Reborn Identity Mostly Reboot because I 02:12:07.080 –> 02:12:12.000did bits, but it’s, I don’t know. I hate it when people add a little bit and then they 02:12:12.000 –> 02:12:16.740go, Oh, this is mine. It’s like, that’s not right. Really, you have to completely change 02:12:16.740 –> 02:12:22.260it or, you know, do the inverse or I even sideeye inverses. If you, if it’s a well 02:12:22.260 –> 02:12:27.660known combo, just to do an inverse is lazy. I think you really have to nod to somebody. 02:12:27.660 –> 02:12:31.420If you take their idea and just reverse it, you know, I think flip in reverse it, but 02:12:31.420 –> 02:12:35.820I know some people would disagree, ‘who did it first?” But it’s just like really, you 02:12:35.820 –> 02:12:41.860know, the person came out with a combo. You’re just flipping it. Is that really? Yeah. So 02:12:41.860 –> 02:12:45.680yeah, that’s why I had to credit that because, you know, it’s mostly Reborn Identity’s, but 02:12:45.680 –> 02:12:51.120you know, I sped it up and did it my way. So it is kind of my take on it. I don’t think 02:12:51.120 –> 02:12:54.540you can find the original out there. I was looking for it looking for a high quality 02:12:54.540 –> 02:13:01.560version because I said the version I had was 192 kilobits second. Yeah. Ooh, quality so 02:13:01.560 –> 02:13:04.380I couldn’t find one. I was like, Oh, I’ll make it. And then, and then I asked Reborn Identity 02:13:04.380 –> 02:13:08.900whether I could release that and Gavin said yes. So he was very good about it. So brilliant. 02:13:08.900 –> 02:13:15.420But yes, it seems to have not been making mashups anymore, sadly. And then before that, 02:13:15.420 –> 02:13:20.580we had Adriana A with, I Keep Forgetting You Got A Fast Car, Luke Combs versus Michael 02:13:20.580 –> 02:13:27.900McDonald. Yacht folk is a thing. So we reached the end of the podcast. It’s been a weird 02:13:27.900 –> 02:13:32.760one because as I say, this has been on on this has been in the stack for last at least 02:13:32.760 –> 02:13:38.600two to three weeks. I just haven’t had time because I’ve been training, training for hiking 02:13:38.600 –> 02:13:44.560and trying to get my knee working. And I’m going out and doing a group video in a couple 02:13:44.560 –> 02:13:49.880of weeks or just under us about a week and a half with some YouTube people, hiking YouTube 02:13:49.880 –> 02:13:54.240people. So I was like, Oh, I really want to make sure everything’s, you know, my knees 02:13:54.240 –> 02:13:58.060are okay. It sounds like actually there isn’t going to be a long hike, but I didn’t want 02:13:58.060 –> 02:14:04.140to let anyone down. That’s going to be fun. And I’m going to go back to South Downs Way 02:14:04.140 –> 02:14:11.540in the next couple of days, hopefully, since my tent repairs dry, head off to Cocking to 02:14:11.540 –> 02:14:15.580do the Winchester, Cocking to Winchester part. So it’s thirty three miles I last read. It’s 33 02:14:15.580 –> 02:14:19.980miles. I think that should be all right and do that in about probably not three days. 02:14:19.980 –> 02:14:24.220I’m not going to rush it this time. So however long it takes, it won’t take a week, but 02:14:24.220 –> 02:14:29.640it’ll probably take about three or four days, I think, because my tests say that my knees 02:14:29.640 –> 02:14:36.040fine for at least 12 miles and I’ll be a bit less going up and down hills. And maybe hills 02:14:36.040 –> 02:14:42.320will be a problem. I’m hoping that’s not true. But we’ll see. So I’ve been trying to treat 02:14:42.320 –> 02:14:46.200my knee as gently as possible, but you have to kind of use it. You have to keep moving 02:14:46.200 –> 02:14:51.680and you have to push that envelope of your stock when it’s hurting, but then just see 02:14:51.680 –> 02:14:56.900how far you can take it. Otherwise, you’re just stuck at home not doing anything and it doesn’t 02:14:56.900 –> 02:15:01.660get any better. So that’s the weird thing about knees and leg injuries. You have to 02:15:01.660 –> 02:15:06.420exercise them even if they’re a bit painful or achy, but not so it’s sharp stabby pain. 02:15:06.420 –> 02:15:10.180It’s kind of a difference between sharp, like we need stop now. And then this is sort of 02:15:10.180 –> 02:15:15.380the achy and it went a bit backward recently and a walk a couple of days ago, I did like 02:15:15.380 –> 02:15:20.020four miles and it was like, ouch okay. But I’ve been trying to regularly walk each day 02:15:20.020 –> 02:15:25.160or so normally resting if it really hurts. And you’re doing like three, four miles a 02:15:25.160 –> 02:15:31.120day. But we just lose weight and partly just to kind of keep the knee going until I do 02:15:31.120 –> 02:15:35.320hiking. Otherwise, what happens is you do a long 50 odd miles in a week and then you 02:15:35.320 –> 02:15:40.000stop and then the knee kind of just goes back to where it was before it locks up a bit, 02:15:40.000 –> 02:15:46.520you know, so you have to kind of keep exercising it, use it or lose it. So I’m going to play 02:15:46.520 –> 02:15:49.900out with the track by Flanagan and Allen. This is one of the ones that’s been in and 02:15:49.900 –> 02:15:56.780out of various podcasts, but I love it greatly. It’s from, I don’t know, is it in 1960, not 02:15:56.780 –> 02:16:02.180a camera exactly when it came out with it was 1950s or 1960s [1940!]. So this is, Are You Having 02:16:02.180 –> 02:16:06.500Any Fun? And you probably know it more from other people like Tony Bennett or Morecambe & 02:16:06.500 –> 02:16:13.980Wise covering it. And yeah, this is Flanagan and Allen. Yes, ‘Underneath The Arches’. This 02:16:13.980 –> 02:16:20.720is them doing. Are You Having Any Fun?
