What is this? Well, Radio Clash, is a weekly mashup podcast from your host, Tim in London.
It's the one of the longest running podcasts in England (since Nov 2004), and includes mash-ups (of course), mixes, weird covers and more! As featured in The Independent, the BBC, SPIN and Entertainment Week, and even the world's first ever podcast on psychedelics (!), it brings you the history of mash ups, bootleg events, news, views and interviews of the bootlegging scene and beyond. More about the podcast.

Mashup - I Kissed a Monster (Katy Perry vs L7)

August 31st, 2008

Previously part of the 'We All Kissed a Girl' compilation, as an exclusive I thought I'd release this separately for those of you who one KP mash is possibly too many...basically I made Katy Perry angry and kiss L7 who are all about being a monster, grrr...with a few interjections from those Lesbians on Ecstasy.

Instamatic - I Kissed a Monster

Calling MacBook Pro/ modern PC Laptop DJs (aka Expresscard is a pile o’ shit)

August 30th, 2008

What do you use as a decent (ie not crappy onboard) soundcard?

I just bought an Indigo DJ on eBay, arrived and I'd made the SAME mistake, it's PCMCIA and I need fucking ExpressCard, it's a totally useless format since no-one supports it, especially for soundcards apart from a very badly reviewed Creative Xi-Fi and given my history with that company, the response is 'no fucking way' to buying one.

I cannot believe that companies like Echo Audio *are throwing this chance away - all new MacBook Pros don't have PCMCIA slots anymore, and new laptop PCs too. They all have fairly useless unsupported Expresscard/34 slots. Grrr.

So I'm left with either:

  • Buying a dodge looking PCMCIA to Expresscard converter from HK, thus totally spoiling the whole point of buying an internal card in the first place
  • Selling it and buying an external USB device - again spoiling the whole point - I mean laptops are supposed to be PORTABLE right? Not attached to big heavy lumps of metal and plastic with knobs on them.

So what's a wannabe laptop DJ supposed to do? Sigh. Tempted to sell this lump o' crap and get an older laptop or a faster MacBook, but for the latter I don't have the money, definitely not now with this economy and lack of work...sigh.

* And their response? Use their Firewire devices - totally useless for me as PC laptops don't have full powered Firewire slots, so I'd need to also lug around a power adapter. This is not good for gigs.

NEW MASHUP - Instamatic - I Kissed a Monster over at APC

August 25th, 2008

It's ages since I did a mashup - and prompted by AudioPornCentral which will be featuring this and other KP mashes, I did an exclusive Katy Perry 'I Kissed a Girl' mashup included in the APC Guilty Pleasure compilation with 17 other Katy Perry mashes! (a pink kissing overload? I wonder...)

Yes, yes, the song is awful, but sounds a LOT better with L7's Monster and a few brief interruptions from Lesbians on Ecstasy. Basically an angry lesbian sort of mix, unlike the original which is just straight-bloke wank fodder ;-)
