Mash Hits # 32 – Purgatory
I prefer cold meat, cold showers, cold cup of tea and getting a cold to coldplay. They really do not agree with me so i have remixed there no 1 single from last month into a synthetic sloppy hippy jam session.

Mash Hits # 31 – Colonel Mustard did it in the conservatory with the coldplay cd
Yesterday at the brit awards coldplay won best british group. Not my personal choice i would have gone with fastlady. In attempt to remix coldplay i found it impossible to use chis Martin’s voice as i didn’t want to vomit on my laptop so i made a classical sounding piece made using samples of the starting bars of Viva La Vida.

Mash Hits # 30 – Trumpets of the short forest
For this piece i created a polymeter movement out of the the opening trumpet notes of the Stylistics ‘I Can’t Give You Anything (But My Love)’ ..
Polymeter is when 2 or more time signatures are played simultaneously, after a specific number of beats the two meters will meet. For example, a 3/4 meter and 4/4 meter will meet after 12 beats. In “Toads Of The Short Forest” (from the album Weasels Ripped My Flesh), composer Frank Zappa explains: “At this very moment on stage we have drummer A playing in 7/8, drummer B playing in 3/4, the bass playing in 3/4, the organ playing in 5/8, the tambourine playing in 3/4, and the alto sax blowing his nose” (Mothers of Invention 1970).
The no 1 i sampled was a mediocre 70′s soul sing-a-long song so i was happy to turn it into something a bit more musically interesting

Mash Hits # 27 – Ja sam Ljubav i Ja sam govno bubnjar
I hate my brother, he’s a prick, he’s selfish, writes crappy music and is just plain annoying. Whilst we still send each other xmas cards and see each other once every 4 or 5 years we really don’t get along. We never got on growing up as the spotlight was always on him and he rubbed it in my face. I guess if i’m honest i am a bit jealous of his musical success + his amazing drumming skills and stupid round evil smug ham-like face, anyhow this ones for you bro!

Mash Hits # 26 – There’s No One Quite Like Granular
This is St Winifreds School Choir processed though a granular delay patch. Granular processing yields quite strange results and can create the most unusual sounds from the most seemingly dull wave forms. The end result conjures up images in my mind of St Winifreds annual school trip too the wormhole. Granular we love you, Granular we do….

Mash Hits # 25 – Roses are red and so is the level meter on my mixer!
This is a romantic noise blast track in which UB40, Elvis and Stevie Wonder get blitzed through a series of FX, good one for bonking too (maybe)

Mash HIts # 24 – Vampires love chips
As it was Valentines day this week the next 5 mash hits are love themed!
There have been 77 no 1′s in the uk with the word “LOVE” in title, making it the most popular topic for songs, Every singer seems to wanna whine on about it ; “love is all around us”, “i will do anything for love”, “wouldn’t you agree, baby you and me, got a groovy kind of love” and worst of all gary glitter yelps “I love you love you love me too love i love you too love you me love” in his terribly ‘band in a tin can” produced record ‘I Love You Love Me Love’ .. I won’t bother explain this next track as it’s short and self explanatory but “i’d love you to know that i’d love it if you loved it too and showed me love back by telling me you love it.

Mash Hits # 23 – Requiem for Whitney Houston
Today i heard the sad news that pop soul legend Whitney Houston passed away, as a tribute too her i have made a new song from 3 of her hit songs. Her most famous no 1 was 1992′s ‘I will always love you’. This was from the soundtrack of the terrible film ’The Bodyguard’ and stayed at no 1 for what seemed like an eternity in my memories as a 12 year old. Interestingly i read that Saddam Hussein used “I will allways love you” as his campaign theme song during the 2002 iraqi election, The version he used was an arabic cover version you can check out here..
