this mix was so fun when it dropped that I went and read the paul morely book ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Words_and_Music:_A_History_of_Pop_in_the_Shape_of_a_City ) strictly kev later connected it to and expanded it against

‘Raiding the 20th Century’ is 10 years oldIt’s been bought to my attention that the original version of my ‘Raiding The 20th Century’ mix is now 10 years old. Originally a 40 minute guest mix on Eddy Temple-Morris‘ XFM radio show, The Remix, it was my attempt to construct a rough history of ‘cut up’ music in the midst of the mashup up/bastard pop craze. Taking in Music Concrete, avant garde tape composition, radiophonic tape experiments, megamixes, edit kings, scratching, early sampling and of course mash ups, it was one of the most densely mixed and edited things I’ve ever done. When it debuted it was put up on the Ninja Tune site at the time and quickly went a bit viral, causing the server to melt down and the site to grind to a halt by the next morning.

p funny going through bad twenty year old posts on my silly old website converting them to their fourth or fifth text markup language this holiday break and running into so many broken links and embeds.

onion-on-belt taboos against both hotlinking and mirroring completely made sense at the time, but, now, guess what silly, it’s all gone, we should have hard mirrored entire things we liked, if we liked them, even if only as time capsules

a 20-something tailgated me through one of the new door sized bart gates this week, clearly waiting for the right person to follow, and I knew exactly what to do, keep listening to my podcast, acknowledge nothing, even with the stupid new turnstile, which is slow and annoying, beeping behind me.

hell yeah, we’re doing the moves, fare dodging, and we’re walking down the stairs like nothing happened, gg

(fwiw the tone is a solid beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee for idk how many seconds)
