DJ Wüdi Mashup: Give It A Crablouse

Give It A Crablouse For many years now, I’ve had the idea for a mashup bouncing around in my head. In fact, it has been rattling around in my brain for so long that it wasn’t even originally thought of as a “mashup” — just a mix I wanted to try. However, I’d been missing a crucial piece, so it never got beyond the conceptual stage.

Until now. Thanks to a little assistance from Mike Dickenson in supplying me with the crucial missing piece, I’ve finally been able to get this out of my head…and, hopefully, into yours.

Proudly presenting the second of my contributions to mashup culture: Give It A Crablouse (5.2 MB .mp3).

Top Artists according to last.fm

From Adriaan:

last.fm has nice charting tools, mapping out your listening trends. From data collected over the past year, this list appears to show my top artists.

Here’s my top eleven (rather than ten, simply because these are also all the artists with more than 50 plays):

My top artists

The only slight surprise is that Pink Floyd is that high in the list. Not that I’m not a fan, but I’m not a huge fan…I do, however, have a lot of PF in my collection (thanks to picking up a box set some time ago), so their songs percolate through the random playlists fairly regularly.

Songs, A-Z

Well, I didn’t read the rules of this game after I saw D’s list, so this list might seem a little odd. Rather than just list songs that start with a letter, I chose songs that I have in my .mp3 library, and where both the song title and the artist started with the respective letter of the alphabet. Uff!

The only times I couldn’t get a match for both were for X and Z, so I listed two songs, one for the song title that matched the letter, and one for the artist.

A: Ain’t Goin’ to Goa by A3
B: Bela Lugosi’s Dead by Bauhaus

D: Destillat (VNV Nation Mix) by Das Ich

Okay…I bit. So, what’s the deal? Doing an alternative/industrial all-ages club up here in Anchorage, but it can be hard to get new stuff…. Thing is, some of the stuff you had mentioned in an earlier post wasn’t all that new, wasn’t sure if I should reply or not.

  • all good girls – die warzau – have this on the WaxTrax “Afterburn” sampler
  • hit n run holiday – thrill kill kult – Flintstones soundtrack…
  • language of reality – die krupps (clouser rmx) – this caught my eye…would this be the Charlie Clouser working with nine inch nails now? He does do good work…
  • out comes the evil – lords of acid – good track, but “Voodoo-U”‘s been out for a while…

Anyway, am interested in more info, at least…
