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.

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.

All variants of the cover:

WEBVTT

00:03:58.680 –> 00:04:00.540
Hello and welcome to Radio Clash.

00:04:00.540 –> 00:04:05.740
This is 394, and A Place To Hide, and there’s no jingle this time, I thought, well, we’ve

00:04:05.740 –> 00:04:09.880
got this long section from the end is much which I love, I love the fact you’re hearing

00:04:09.880 –> 00:04:11.400
all the Martians here.

00:04:11.400 –> 00:04:19.080
This is iWillBattle with War the Houdinis, Dua Lipa vs Jeff Wayne, War of the Worlds,

00:04:19.080 –> 00:04:24.400
and at the start you heard SpongeBob SquareWave from 2023 that this is one new day you don’t

00:04:24.400 –> 00:04:29.440
want to fuck, which I love the way that sort of chops up that sample.

00:04:29.440 –> 00:04:37.260
I hope you’re all well, I’ve been, oh, I’ve been so busy doing hiking shizzle, so hiking

00:04:37.260 –> 00:04:44.900
YouTube stuff, nearly 500 subscribers now, about sort of 16 away, and I don’t want to

00:04:44.900 –> 00:04:49.500
jinx it because I know I’m just saying this, but like, I’ll probably go down next week,

00:04:49.500 –> 00:04:50.500
it always does.

00:04:50.500 –> 00:04:56.700
And I’ve just posted on my second attempt at the South Downs Way trip where I did 45

00:04:56.700 –> 00:05:02.720
miles, you can find that over at YouTube at @HardUpHiker, just at @HardUpHiker or where

00:05:02.720 –> 00:05:04.720
you’ll find it.

00:05:04.720 –> 00:05:09.800
And yeah, I screwed my knee up, I think maybe I mentioned it in the last podcast, it’s

00:05:09.800 –> 00:05:16.680
taken five, six weeks, and I did about 50 miles for walking last week, including two

00:05:16.680 –> 00:05:22.560
12 mile hikes with the full pack, and I’ve got a video about that next week, but you

00:05:22.560 –> 00:05:26.820
know, I kind of felt I had to kind of build back up again, it’s like, you know, training

00:05:26.820 –> 00:05:30.820
or, you know, recuperation, but it’s taken a very long time and it’s been very annoying

00:05:30.820 –> 00:05:35.460
because I had all these plans and because The Big Freeze finished and everything, warmer

00:05:35.460 –> 00:05:40.980
again and I couldn’t go out, and I was like, now it’s all rains, obviously, we had the

00:05:40.980 –> 00:05:47.540
full spring, and now we’re having the proper spring, which is very wet, so yeah, I meant

00:05:47.540 –> 00:05:53.600
to get this out earlier, and I say it’s just way too, way too busy, the one I did previously

00:05:53.600 –> 00:05:57.400
was a stopgap, I mean that’s the thing with the deep dive shows, they’re very much things

00:05:57.400 –> 00:06:01.800
where I’ve got them and I just want to do a quickie, when I want to do a quickie, yeah,

00:06:01.800 –> 00:06:06.680
and this case with this one is that it’s just been hanging around for the last couple of

00:06:06.680 –> 00:06:10.920
weeks, ready to go, and I’ve just haven’t had time to record it, it’s supposed to have

00:06:10.920 –> 00:06:15.600
been for February, and this is now going to be for March really, and it’s more of a

00:06:15.600 –> 00:06:22.140
mash-up show, but more about clubs, and when the clubs closed down back in the pandemic

00:06:22.140 –> 00:06:28.020
and how I reacted to that, and hence the phrase ‘a place to hide’ is from a song later on

00:06:28.020 –> 00:06:33.500
in the podcast by Antony Szmierek, but we’re going to start in typical fashion, with nothing

00:06:33.500 –> 00:06:42.380
to do with the theme, this is Shades of Fade to Grey, Visage vs Delaney Jane by Sir Hank.

00:53:25.060 –> 00:53:54.320
That 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 –> 00:54:00.000
Streets, We Become Heroes, The 9Trane Edit, and that was from 2022.

00:54:00.000 –> 00:54:05.940
I had to have those songs somehow in here in a mashup or remix form, because they’re

00:54:05.940 –> 00:54:10.140
very much about clubbing, and I wasn’t a part of the Acid House Summer.

00:54:10.140 –> 00:54:14.100
I was a bit too young for all the Acid House stuff, but the original Summer of Love, he was

00:54:14.100 –> 00:54:19.380
like five years later and writing about five years before, and now it’s 30 years later.

00:54:19.380 –> 00:54:20.380
Twenty years?

00:54:20.380 –> 00:54:21.380
Yeah.

00:54:21.380 –> 00:54:22.380
I feel old.

00:54:22.380 –> 00:54:26.480
And before that, in honour of the fact that I can’t go to these places anymore, we have

00:54:26.480 –> 00:54:32.360
bis Irrelevant disco from 2022’s System Music for Home Defense, and that’s all about

00:54:32.360 –> 00:54:37.820
seemingly becoming irrelevant, and just wondering if anyone’s out there, which I totally, totally

00:54:37.820 –> 00:54:38.820
get.

00:54:38.820 –> 00:54:40.640
What could that relate to?

00:54:40.640 –> 00:54:45.520
And also, the fact that you can’t afford to go to Tokyo, I can never afford to go to

00:54:45.520 –> 00:54:46.520
Tokyo.

00:54:46.520 –> 00:54:49.760
I probably could have when I was younger, but now you can’t afford to go places that

00:54:49.760 –> 00:54:52.020
you were, and the kind of things move on.

00:54:52.020 –> 00:54:53.020
You know, like Glastonbury.

00:54:53.020 –> 00:54:54.020
I used to go to Glastonbury.

00:54:54.020 –> 00:54:56.860
I can’t afford to go to Glastonbury anymore, which is really sad.

00:54:56.860 –> 00:55:03.260
Then before that, we have, For Those I Love, with I Have a Love, the Overmono remix from

00:55:03.260 –> 00:55:04.260
2021.

00:55:04.260 –> 00:55:10.740
And I didn’t know about that until weirdly, Ivo Graham was talking about, was reviewing

00:55:10.740 –> 00:55:17.540
the Huw Stevens Round Table, the track that I played earlier, the Orbital, and said he

00:55:17.540 –> 00:55:21.560
reminded him of that track, and it was like, I’ve never heard that, and I went and checked

00:55:21.560 –> 00:55:23.060
out the Boiler Room.

00:55:23.060 –> 00:55:29.120
For Those I Love is an Irish poet, and he arrives on stage in the Boiler Room, and he

00:55:29.120 –> 00:55:33.440
is really like, wow, yes, it’s like the whole stage is levitating, and everyone’s just so

00:55:33.440 –> 00:55:34.440
into it.

00:55:34.440 –> 00:55:38.760
It was about his friend who died, so I relate to it in the sense that, you know, it’s also

00:55:38.760 –> 00:55:43.520
I 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 –> 00:55:50.100
specific love for someone else, and love for doing spoken word, and love for doing your

00:55:50.100 –> 00:55:51.100
thing.

00:55:51.100 –> 00:55:55.060
And then before that, we had something that was about the lockdown, that’s Marea (We’ve

00:55:55.060 –> 00:56:02.420
Lost Dancing) vs At Night, Switch Disco Edit, and that’s Fred Again featuring the Blessed

00:56:02.420 –> 00:56:07.620
Madonna, and Switch Disco have mixed in some Shakedown, and that seemed to work really well.

00:56:07.620 –> 00:56:10.300
I mean, again, I wanted to play that, but I played the original, but then I found that

00:56:10.300 –> 00:56:13.720
mashup edit, and I was like, oh, that’s perfect.

00:56:13.720 –> 00:56:17.160
It’s a bit weird, yeah, I haven’t heard of Switch, well, it says Switch Disco, I don’t

00:56:17.160 –> 00:56:21.080
know if that’s Switch, as in the Switch producer, or whether it’s Switch Disco or someone else.

00:56:21.080 –> 00:56:24.800
I’m not totally sure, I’m not sure.

00:56:24.800 –> 00:56:28.600
And then before that, I’ve all mentioned Martin Badder and Antony Szmierek with A Place

00:56:28.600 –> 00:56:36.440
to Hide, from 2023, when I was a single, and he’s doing the Manchester Six Music, another

00:56:36.440 –> 00:56:41.860
thing I can’t go to, the 6Music Festival, which is, you know, quite rightly so.

00:56:41.860 –> 00:56:43.460
We love Antony Szmierek here.

00:56:43.460 –> 00:56:50.180
And then before that, we had, it me, Instamatic, not the winner of the Crumplbanger Challenge,

00:56:50.180 –> 00:56:51.340
but I did actually win that challenge.

00:56:51.340 –> 00:56:55.180
It was a challenge to create phonk mashups, and I had not really come across a genre

00:56:55.180 –> 00:57:02.100
called phonk, which seems to be very much using those tomtoms, you know, those tuned 808 tomtoms.

00:57:02.100 –> 00:57:07.120
Quite often, distortion, and it’s sort of this Memphis thing, but Kordhell, who I mashed

00:57:07.120 –> 00:57:09.840
up there, is actually a British producer.

00:57:09.840 –> 00:57:13.920
And that’s Houdini Fatality, Houdini again, I do like Houdini, it’s a brilliant song,

00:57:13.920 –> 00:57:15.640
Dua Lipa versus Kordhell.

00:57:15.640 –> 00:57:22.240
I’ve done like four or five Kordhell mashups in the last month or so, I’m a big fan of

00:57:22.240 –> 00:57:23.240
his work.

00:57:23.240 –> 00:57:29.480
It’s just a very interesting, it’s a bit like more tempo, witch house, or like stream

00:57:29.480 –> 00:57:30.480
thing.

00:57:30.480 –> 00:57:34.980
There’s, there’s 80s references in there, and they use a lot of samples of Memphis

00:57:34.980 –> 00:57:38.140
rappers quite sped up and you can hardly work out what they are.

00:57:38.140 –> 00:57:43.780
I had fun making them more pop, which is probably against their, against their image with all

00:57:43.780 –> 00:57:48.500
the skulls and all the purple skulls and everything to make it all.

00:57:48.500 –> 00:57:52.940
I did a Whitney Houston one, and I did another one, which I’ll play later on.

00:57:52.940 –> 00:57:57.460
And then before that, we had a mashup, which I missed out on, it was just about three months

00:57:57.460 –> 00:58:03.800
ago, or maybe a bit longer now, at Dunproofin’ with Flash, Green Velvet versus Joey Beltram

00:58:03.800 –> 00:58:04.800
versus Queen.

00:58:04.800 –> 00:58:09.960
Oh, I mean, Green Velvet is about being in a club and looking at all of the naughty

00:58:09.960 –> 00:58:12.640
kiddies doing naughty things.

00:58:12.640 –> 00:58:15.320
Who doesn’t like, you know, Queen meeting Acid House?

00:58:15.320 –> 00:58:20.080
I don’t know, is it Joey, Joey Beltram is more techno, isn’t he?

00:58:20.080 –> 00:58:21.080
Techno.

00:58:21.080 –> 00:58:22.960
So yeah, I like that a lot.

00:58:22.960 –> 00:58:29.620
And then before that, we had Tonight in Belfast, Orbital with David Holmes, Mike Garry doing

00:58:29.620 –> 00:58:32.300
the spoken word and DJ Helen.

00:58:32.300 –> 00:58:36.400
And that was a release at the start of February, which is why I know this mix was kind of inspired

00:58:36.400 –> 00:58:40.180
it, but it was like, yeah, it kind of broke off from there and then I wanted to do a Place

00:58:40.180 –> 00:58:43.020
To Hide and I heard that and went, that’s perfect.

00:58:43.020 –> 00:58:48.220
I wanted to do a whole spoken word club mix, but then it became about a thing, obviously.

00:58:48.220 –> 00:58:54.360
I mean, quite emotional. And interestingly, in a similar sense of hiding, although in

00:58:54.360 –> 00:59:00.080
a different sense, more like looking on headphones and getting away from people, we have Bliss

00:59:00.080 –> 00:59:04.080
by Arab Strap, with the new Arab Strap album, which hasn’t been released yet, or I don’t

00:59:04.080 –> 00:59:09.160
know, maybe it’s been released now, but certainly, I don’t think it has been come out yet.

00:59:09.160 –> 00:59:11.240
But yeah, I really like that a lot.

00:59:11.240 –> 00:59:12.240
That’s really, really cool.

00:59:12.240 –> 00:59:16.800
It’s very much about having to react to people living in a city.

00:59:16.800 –> 00:59:20.740
The whole thing about sitting here, you know, having to shut people off and you put on your

00:59:20.740 –> 00:59:25.900
headphones or go hiking and get away and go camping in the middle of a wood somewhere,

00:59:25.900 –> 00:59:27.300
which is another way of doing it.

00:59:27.300 –> 00:59:28.300
It all relates.

00:59:28.300 –> 00:59:29.300
It all relates.

00:59:29.300 –> 00:59:33.740
And the start is actually just a mashup I really like, although it has a similar mood

00:59:33.740 –> 00:59:39.820
to the Arab Strap mix, Sir Hank, with Shades Of Fade To Gray, Visage versus Delaney Jane.

00:59:39.820 –> 00:59:43.700
I don’t know Delaney Jane, but I love how the interplay of those vocals worked really

00:59:43.700 –> 00:59:44.700
well.

00:59:44.700 –> 00:59:49.200
And that is, I wouldn’t say it’s hard to do, it’s half spotting two combinations that

00:59:49.200 –> 00:59:50.200
work really well.

00:59:50.200 –> 00:59:54.240
And the other one is knowing how to interweave them to make a flow narrative.

00:59:54.240 –> 00:59:57.120
And a lot of people get it wrong, they try and chop it all up and it’s all goes.

00:59:57.120 –> 01:00:03.560
And it’s like, no simple respect when it comes to juxtaposing two things to relate to each

01:00:03.560 –> 01:00:04.560
other.

01:00:04.560 –> 01:00:05.560
It’s best to let them breathe.

01:00:05.560 –> 01:00:07.520
Don’t change it to another diva every 30 seconds.

01:00:07.520 –> 01:00:08.520
And I really hate that.

01:00:08.520 –> 01:00:13.520
And when you’ve got a combination that speaks to both bits, that is a good combination.

01:00:13.520 –> 01:00:16.660
And I feel that about that one.

01:00:16.660 –> 01:00:23.540
So we’re going to change track and play some rock, but I have to say this is something

01:00:23.540 –> 01:00:29.380
I heard via, iWillBattle, iWillBattle does a top 10 or did a top 10 for January.

01:00:29.380 –> 01:00:30.860
I’m not, was it February?

01:00:30.860 –> 01:00:31.860
I don’t know.

01:00:31.860 –> 01:00:36.560
I was in the top 10 for mashups for rock, but I can’t remember if it was end of January

01:00:36.560 –> 01:00:41.980
or early February, but, but yes, I was in the top 10 with a track you’ll hear later.

01:00:41.980 –> 01:00:48.640
But he also played this track by, I originally thought it was by Lewis Wake and I was looking

01:00:48.640 –> 01:00:49.640
at Lewis wake’s Bandcamp.

01:00:49.640 –> 01:00:50.640
Where is it?

01:00:50.640 –> 01:00:51.640
Where is it?

01:00:51.640 –> 01:00:52.640
Where is it?

01:00:52.640 –> 01:00:53.640
And it turns out it’s actually by someone called Lewis Scarole.

01:00:53.640 –> 01:00:54.640
I don’t know them.

01:00:54.640 –> 01:01:00.120
I don’t know if they’re a Mashup Reddit person, but this is really cool because I know DJNoNo

01:01:00.120 –> 01:01:04.840
loves and I love Mike Oldfield & Maggie Reilly’s Moonlight Shadow.

01:01:04.840 –> 01:01:08.280
And I was thinking there wasn’t enough Moonlight Shadow mashups.

01:01:08.280 –> 01:01:12.700
That’s why DJNoNo did theirs with the Pixies and someone’s done one with Bloc

01:01:12.700 –> 01:01:13.700
Party.

01:01:13.700 –> 01:01:16.700
This is Moonlight Banquet.

01:38:19.640 –> 01:38:25.680
That was one of mine that’s TBC aka Instamatic with ‘The Great Grande in the Sky’ Ariana

01:38:25.680 –> 01:38:32.960
Grande as ‘yes and’, versus ‘Pink Floy’ds The Great Gig in the Sky’, then before that

01:38:32.960 –> 01:38:35.460
I think we’re the best moody mash I’ve heard.

01:38:35.460 –> 01:38:42.020
Well, definitely this year if not in a very long time, that’s ToTom with high times on

01:38:42.020 –> 01:38:48.140
Acid Eiffel With Dying Slaves Of Fear In The Sky, that’s Health versus Yungblud and Lil

01:38:48.140 –> 01:38:55.900
Yachty Pink Floyd versus Choice, and that was the winner in, well, when I won the Phonk

01:38:55.900 –> 01:39:02.620
Challenge, I had to judge one and I chose acid house, and that’s like a 13 minute, nearly

01:39:02.620 –> 01:39:08.200
14 minute acid mash-up epic, and it’s probably the longest mash-up I’ve played in this podcast,

01:39:08.200 –> 01:39:13.560
one of them, and I played almost all of it and just mixed out right at the end and start,

01:39:13.560 –> 01:39:18.360
but it is brilliant, I’m really glad ToTom finished that, it’s really good.

01:39:18.360 –> 01:39:24.760
And then before that we heard Caserta with Lights Off, we had a sort of a Alexa section

01:39:24.760 –> 01:39:30.400
because there was this running joke in the Crumplstock about something which PomDeter

01:39:30.400 –> 01:39:35.980
played, which is shouting ‘Alexa, play Pumped Up Kicks’ at a pork pie, there’s a

01:39:35.980 –> 01:39:40.020
video of just an hour of someone doing that, and he played 17 minutes of that and then

01:39:40.020 –> 01:39:46.660
it became a thing and then I ran with it and did a mash-up during the Crumplstock for

01:39:46.660 –> 01:39:53.580
the phonk challenge, so that was the end of January, that was about a month ago, time flies,

01:39:53.580 –> 01:40:00.560
hence that’s what that comes from. So that was DJNo No’s Phonked Up Kicks, Foster The People

01:40:00.560 –> 01:40:05.560
vs. Kordhell vs. Chin Stroke TV, which is the person who did the shouting at a pork

01:40:05.560 –> 01:40:11.360
pie, but then I thought, well, I wanted to play some Negativland, I was going through

01:40:11.360 –> 01:40:17.580
the Live Brain live Negativland shows I was at in 2020, fortunately they had to cancel the

01:40:17.580 –> 01:40:22.880
one recently because of illness, there’s ‘I’m Going To Sing Now (London 2)’, I was

01:40:22.880 –> 01:40:26.740
there for both of them, I think actually, the Weatherman’s singing, but it’s

01:40:26.740 –> 01:40:32.220
all him interacting with Alexa and Okay Google, so it’s funny how it says, that’s why left

01:40:32.220 –> 01:40:36.580
the drum and bass going, it says, ‘Music of the Spheres’ is 180 beats or whatever, in music

01:40:36.580 –> 01:40:42.440
from the cosmos, 180 beats or more, and it’s like, oh, and then before that, aforementioned

01:40:42.440 –> 01:40:47.140
more ‘Jungle’ really, that’s ‘Mirror Method’ by Charla Green, I’ve really been digging

01:40:47.140 –> 01:40:54.320
Charla Green, Charla Green is a Sheffield Jungle drum bass producer, and yeah, I’m

01:40:54.320 –> 01:41:00.680
really liking what she’s producing, so that’s from 2021, check her out, as she has a bit

01:41:00.680 –> 01:41:06.560
of a quiet YouTube channel where she’s making music from various sound and things, but also

01:41:06.560 –> 01:41:14.120
that one is on Off Me Nut Records, Ian Fondue posted the SpongeBob Squarewave,

01:41:14.120 –> 01:41:18.900
an older one of SpongeBob Squarewave, so thanks to Ian Fondue for that, but then I checked

01:41:18.900 –> 01:41:22.680
out the more recent stuff, and hence the intro thing, and that was all relating to the acid

01:41:22.680 –> 01:41:29.480
challenge, and then before that, we had Shahar Varshal with, as it was like heaven, The Cure

01:41:29.480 –> 01:41:34.680
versus Genesis, me and Genesis mashup, so yes, versus Ultravox versus Harry

01:41:34.680 –> 01:41:38.800
Styles, I love that Harry Styles song, I love the Genesis song, but yeah, that

01:41:38.800 –> 01:41:43.400
works pretty well, I mean, you know, I was talking about how things have to have a narrative

01:41:43.400 –> 01:41:47.480
flow or whatever, but they don’t necessarily have to be too chin-strokey or a little bit

01:41:47.480 –> 01:41:51.080
more chop and change, but it’s still, you know, The Cure goes really well with Genesis,

01:41:51.080 –> 01:41:55.320
The Ultravox and Harry Styles, it has a similar mood, or there’s a connection

01:41:55.320 –> 01:41:59.840
there between them, like telling a story, like with a ToTom, finding very disparate things

01:41:59.840 –> 01:42:05.520
that sound similar, and have a similar vibe, I’m going to tell a story, that’s what a

01:42:05.520 –> 01:42:11.720
good multi-mash is, but so many people don’t do it probably, and then at the start section

01:42:11.720 –> 01:42:17.720
we had Lewis Scarole with Mike Oldfield, Moonlight Shadow versus Bloc Party, is it ‘Helicopter’,

01:42:17.720 –> 01:42:22.000
I forget the name of that one, I think it’s ‘Helicopter’, I should know, 2004, 20 years

01:42:22.000 –> 01:42:31.400
ago, again, fitting old, fitting old, so, you know, play a track from Adriana A’s album,

01:42:31.400 –> 01:42:38.880
Adriana she released a album right at the end of 2023 of a collection of mashups created

01:42:38.880 –> 01:42:42.400
over the last year, and there were a lot are related to challenges I think, and it’s, I

01:42:42.400 –> 01:42:53.780
have tried to say it, it’s ‘Imashionationships’, I can’t say that, and this is, I so loved

01:42:53.780 –> 01:42:59.560
seeing Tracy Chapman at the Grammys, I think I posted about it on the blog, RadioClash.com,

01:42:59.560 –> 01:43:03.680
he sold me on Luke Combs really, because before I was a bit like, who is this person,

01:43:03.680 –> 01:43:08.480
kind of dimly knew the name, very big in country, but I was like, hmm, who is this person, and

01:43:08.480 –> 01:43:15.400
you can see the respect and love for Tracy that he has in the performance, and how apparently

01:43:15.400 –> 01:43:20.720
they made it so that Tracy had complete veto, complete agreement over the arrangement, it

01:43:20.720 –> 01:43:26.440
was her chance to shine, it was her thing, you know, they made sure it was about her,

01:43:26.440 –> 01:43:31.120
and we could tell just by the way he was on stage that it was deferring to her, almost

01:43:31.120 –> 01:43:36.040
nervous to sing with her, and it obviously meant a lot to him, and a very moving version,

01:43:36.040 –> 01:43:41.280
so this is, I Keep Forgetting You’ve Got A Fast Car, that’s Luke Combs versus Michael

01:43:41.280 –> 01:43:46.400
MacDonald, a bit of, yacht mashing, yacht mashing, yacht folk, is that a thing?

01:43:46.400 –> 01:43:48.760
I don’t know.

:18.860 –> 02:08:25.440
This is Tony Mason-Cox, hItting The Bottom, from Songs in the Key of Z, Vol 3, I didn’t

02:08:25.440 –> 02:08:31.400
realize that I think they were unofficial that Songs in the Key of Z, 1 and 2 were in

02:08:31.400 –> 02:08:32.400
Tuesday.

02:08:32.400 –> 02:08:36.960
I don’t know if 3 and 4 are how official they are, especially 3 which ends on the four

02:08:36.960 –> 02:08:44.560
tracks by a child rapist, which, you know, I was like, hmm, Google, who is this person?

02:08:44.560 –> 02:08:49.700
Oh, there he is in the sexual offender registry in the United States.

02:08:49.700 –> 02:08:50.700
Yeah, lovely. /s

02:08:50.700 –> 02:08:55.620
So I really wouldn’t buy that album, but I love that.

02:08:55.620 –> 02:09:00.980
It’s kind of like existential and also funny at the same time, which is, you know, perfect.

02:09:00.980 –> 02:09:04.500
I’ve been checking out lots of outside in music recently, and I’ve been hearing a lot

02:09:04.500 –> 02:09:10.260
via PDSMix’s Brave New Weird Show, and it’s all inspired me to go and check them out.

02:09:10.260 –> 02:09:17.040
I have to say, I have mixed feelings because I remember the heyday of WFMU, I mean, still

02:09:17.040 –> 02:09:23.280
going, but you know, the 365 Days Project and those compilations being released, you

02:09:23.280 –> 02:09:28.480
know, and finding Shooby Taylor, and there’s all that sort of stuff, early 2000s, and it

02:09:28.480 –> 02:09:34.320
seems like that used most of the pot, apart from the old thing like that one, but a lot

02:09:34.320 –> 02:09:39.660
after the pot of the good tracks. And now there’s this thing so bad it’s good and just

02:09:39.660 –> 02:09:44.940
bad 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 –> 02:09:50.060
It’s like, you know, it doesn’t, maybe just something happens when you listen to a lot

02:09:50.060 –> 02:09:54.980
of outside of music. It just becomes not as good as it used to be, but I don’t know.

02:09:54.980 –> 02:09:59.700
Then before that, we had KKill_mR_DJ with, I Wasn’t Made For Surprises, Radiohead versus

02:09:59.700 –> 02:10:05.920
Billie Eilish. Yes, I love the Billie Eilish song. So, and that was kind of obvious, perfect.

02:10:05.920 –> 02:10:09.580
And 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 –> 02:10:13.940
another Radiohead mesh for a while. I’ve been too many of them. I’ve certainly done several

02:10:13.940 –> 02:10:19.320
so no surprises ones. Then before that, we had iWillBattle with I Lose Control Of You,

02:10:19.320 –> 02:10:24.080
Teddy Swims, which is currently in the charts, I think, versus Nina Simone, who isn’t the

02:10:24.080 –> 02:10:29.640
currently in the charts, but should be. I lose control and I put a spell on you. That

02:10:29.640 –> 02:10:36.380
works very well. Then before that, we had from 1975, the B side of You Sexy Thing is

02:10:36.380 –> 02:10:40.880
the proof of the Hot Chocolate were nore than You Sexy Thing. That’s A Warm Smile that was

02:10:40.880 –> 02:10:45.660
written and performed by the other members of the band. So not Errol Brown, a beautiful

02:10:45.660 –> 02:10:50.580
song and a couple of theirs are really good. Really, I’ve been banging on for ages about

02:10:50.580 –> 02:10:56.160
Hot Chocolate and how you know, I’ve been diving into the B sides and stuff and how they kind

02:10:56.160 –> 02:11:02.040
of got known as being this novelty disco funk act. Every 1’S A Winner. YOu Sexy Thing in

02:11:02.040 –> 02:11:09.840
a very pop disco funk, but they were much, much more from day one. Then before that,

02:11:09.840 –> 02:11:15.560
we had a track kind of by me kind of not that’s TBC aka Instamatic with Boulevard of Broken

02:11:15.560 –> 02:11:21.820
Dreamcoat Green Day versus Boards of Canada. But originally that was done by Reborn Identity

02:11:21.820 –> 02:11:27.380
Gavin in 2008. And I found that version. I was like, this is good, but you know, I want

02:11:27.380 –> 02:11:32.460
the high quality version. So I made it myself. But then I made it different by adding in

02:11:32.460 –> 02:11:38.940
all of the bits of that’s Billie Joe Armstrong at five years old. He recorded a single Live

02:11:38.940 –> 02:11:42.620
To Love, I think it was. And I think one of the Green Day albums, they had a little bit

02:11:42.620 –> 02:11:50.280
of it of the interview on the B side, I used a lot more of it. Boards of Canada Chromakey

02:11:50.280 –> 02:11:57.440
Dreamcoat is the backing. And there aren’t that many mashups of Campfire Headphase at

02:11:57.440 –> 02:12:01.920
all. 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 –> 02:12:07.080
do the end section. So it’s, it’s called a Reborn Identity Mostly Reboot because I

02:12:07.080 –> 02:12:12.000
did bits, but it’s, I don’t know. I hate it when people add a little bit and then they

02:12:12.000 –> 02:12:16.740
go, Oh, this is mine. It’s like, that’s not right. Really, you have to completely change

02:12:16.740 –> 02:12:22.260
it or, you know, do the inverse or I even sideeye inverses. If you, if it’s a well

02:12:22.260 –> 02:12:27.660
known combo, just to do an inverse is lazy. I think you really have to nod to somebody.

02:12:27.660 –> 02:12:31.420
If you take their idea and just reverse it, you know, I think flip in reverse it, but

02:12:31.420 –> 02:12:35.820
I know some people would disagree, ‘who did it first?” But it’s just like really, you

02:12:35.820 –> 02:12:41.860
know, the person came out with a combo. You’re just flipping it. Is that really? Yeah. So

02:12:41.860 –> 02:12:45.680
yeah, that’s why I had to credit that because, you know, it’s mostly Reborn Identity’s, but

02:12:45.680 –> 02:12:51.120
you 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 –> 02:12:54.540
you can find the original out there. I was looking for it looking for a high quality

02:12:54.540 –> 02:13:01.560
version because I said the version I had was 192 kilobits second. Yeah. Ooh, quality so

02:13:01.560 –> 02:13:04.380
I couldn’t find one. I was like, Oh, I’ll make it. And then, and then I asked Reborn Identity

02:13:04.380 –> 02:13:08.900
whether I could release that and Gavin said yes. So he was very good about it. So brilliant.

02:13:08.900 –> 02:13:15.420
But yes, it seems to have not been making mashups anymore, sadly. And then before that,

02:13:15.420 –> 02:13:20.580
we had Adriana A with, I Keep Forgetting You Got A Fast Car, Luke Combs versus Michael

02:13:20.580 –> 02:13:27.900
McDonald. Yacht folk is a thing. So we reached the end of the podcast. It’s been a weird

02:13:27.900 –> 02:13:32.760
one because as I say, this has been on on this has been in the stack for last at least

02:13:32.760 –> 02:13:38.600
two to three weeks. I just haven’t had time because I’ve been training, training for hiking

02:13:38.600 –> 02:13:44.560
and trying to get my knee working. And I’m going out and doing a group video in a couple

02:13:44.560 –> 02:13:49.880
of weeks or just under us about a week and a half with some YouTube people, hiking YouTube

02:13:49.880 –> 02:13:54.240
people. So I was like, Oh, I really want to make sure everything’s, you know, my knees

02:13:54.240 –> 02:13:58.060
are okay. It sounds like actually there isn’t going to be a long hike, but I didn’t want

02:13:58.060 –> 02:14:04.140
to let anyone down. That’s going to be fun. And I’m going to go back to South Downs Way

02:14:04.140 –> 02:14:11.540
in the next couple of days, hopefully, since my tent repairs dry, head off to Cocking to

02:14:11.540 –> 02:14:15.580
do the Winchester, Cocking to Winchester part. So it’s thirty three miles I last read. It’s 33

02:14:15.580 –> 02:14:19.980
miles. I think that should be all right and do that in about probably not three days.

02:14:19.980 –> 02:14:24.220
I’m not going to rush it this time. So however long it takes, it won’t take a week, but

02:14:24.220 –> 02:14:29.640
it’ll probably take about three or four days, I think, because my tests say that my knees

02:14:29.640 –> 02:14:36.040
fine for at least 12 miles and I’ll be a bit less going up and down hills. And maybe hills

02:14:36.040 –> 02:14:42.320
will 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 –> 02:14:46.200
my knee as gently as possible, but you have to kind of use it. You have to keep moving

02:14:46.200 –> 02:14:51.680
and you have to push that envelope of your stock when it’s hurting, but then just see

02:14:51.680 –> 02:14:56.900
how far you can take it. Otherwise, you’re just stuck at home not doing anything and it doesn’t

02:14:56.900 –> 02:15:01.660
get any better. So that’s the weird thing about knees and leg injuries. You have to

02:15:01.660 –> 02:15:06.420
exercise them even if they’re a bit painful or achy, but not so it’s sharp stabby pain.

02:15:06.420 –> 02:15:10.180
It’s kind of a difference between sharp, like we need stop now. And then this is sort of

02:15:10.180 –> 02:15:15.380
the achy and it went a bit backward recently and a walk a couple of days ago, I did like

02:15:15.380 –> 02:15:20.020
four miles and it was like, ouch okay. But I’ve been trying to regularly walk each day

02:15:20.020 –> 02:15:25.160
or so normally resting if it really hurts. And you’re doing like three, four miles a

02:15:25.160 –> 02:15:31.120
day. But we just lose weight and partly just to kind of keep the knee going until I do

02:15:31.120 –> 02:15:35.320
hiking. Otherwise, what happens is you do a long 50 odd miles in a week and then you

02:15:35.320 –> 02:15:40.000
stop and then the knee kind of just goes back to where it was before it locks up a bit,

02:15:40.000 –> 02:15:46.520
you 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 –> 02:15:49.900
out with the track by Flanagan and Allen. This is one of the ones that’s been in and

02:15:49.900 –> 02:15:56.780
out of various podcasts, but I love it greatly. It’s from, I don’t know, is it in 1960, not

02:15:56.780 –> 02:16:02.180
a camera exactly when it came out with it was 1950s or 1960s [1940!]. So this is, Are You Having

02:16:02.180 –> 02:16:06.500
Any Fun? And you probably know it more from other people like Tony Bennett or Morecambe &

02:16:06.500 –> 02:16:13.980
Wise covering it. And yeah, this is Flanagan and Allen. Yes, ‘Underneath The Arches’. This

02:16:13.980 –> 02:16:20.720
is them doing. Are You Having Any Fun?
