This is my first MIDI sequenced track using Ableton Live. My previous mixes were hand cut and paste using Cool Edit Pro (before it was Adobe Audition). As you can imagine, those mixes took way too long. Well, I've finally stepped out of the dark ages and stopped ignoring 25 years of MIDI technology =). I hope you enjoy this.

Made with:
Ableton Live
Adobe Audition
M-Audio Oxygen 61
B4Xpress (Fuzzy Guitar)

Santogold - L.E.S. Artistes (video), Biggie Hendrix Experience (mashup album), La Pequeña Amy Winehouse (video), more

• Santogold - L.E.S. Artistes (video)
  Strange video. It's a surreal mix of Skittles colors, horror, and lots of paint.
  
  
• DJ Doc Rok - Biggie Hendrix Experience
  Another mash-up album. Decent concept, but it's not only Hendrix tracks that are mashed. Nothing too revolutionary, but it's still worth a listen. I prefer the MIA vs. Chamillionaire and Luda mash on his myspace.
  
  
• La Pequeña Amy Winehouse (video)
  Chilean Amy Winehouse midget, FTW.
  
  
• Sigur Ros - Heima (video)
  97 minutes of beautiful Icelandic imagery with a Sigur Ros score. Yummy.

  Interesting stop motion creation depicting wars since WWII, using food from each of the involved countries. Here's the original site and food cheat sheet.

M. Ward and adorable indie actress Zooey Deschanel have recorded an album under the group name "She and Him." It's due out in March on Merge Records.

• Radiohead New Year's Eve Webcast
  Unfortunately, I'm on call on New Year's Eve, so I won't get to see Spoon at Metro or Black Kids at Empty Bottle. Luckily, Radiohead is planning a New Year's Eve webcast on radiohead.tv which will be a "a wee celebration of the release of the physical manifestation of 'in rainbows'".
  
  
• Look looks like a creepy film. Although it tackles themes previously explored in "Blow-Up", "Peeping Tom", "The Conversation" and "Sliver", it is unique in that the whole film is apparently is shot using only surveillance cameras.
  
  
• I'm not sure if I'm going to make a top 10 movie list this year; I have a long list of supposedly good films I've yet to see. I'll spend the next week or so trying to catch up. In the meantime, check out these lists: The Onion's A.V. Club | Roger Ebert's list

Beyonce - Green Light (freemasons remix)(MP3 and video), Robert Miles vs. Nelly Furtado mash-up (MP3), Kanye West - Stronger (video)

• Beyonce - Green Light (freemasons remix) (MP3 via hypemachine)
  While the original version is not a bad tune (it's one of the better ones on B'day), this remix is IMHO a fantastic re-work that preserves the vocal integrity of the original with energetic synth and bass arrangements a la Eric Prydz. A definite floor-filler with a Radio One/UK Club-friendly house beat.
  
• Beyonce - Green Light (freemasons remix) (video)
  Beyonce is so fine in this video. I think this one might be a fan re-edit, but it's pretty well done.
  
  
• Martinn - Children Say It Right (MP3)
  Robert Miles vs. Nelly Furtado = one of the best mash-ups I've heard this year [via Martinn].

Jay-Z - Show Me What You Got (video), Love is All (MP3), Atmosphere (MP3), Lily Allen vs. Stones Roses mash-up, more

• Jay-Z - Show Me What You Got (video)
  This video really gets old with more than one viewing. Despite the unimaginative sameness of the tune, I still like it, recycled Rumpshaker riff and all. I guess it's good that HOV is back, because this has been a slow year for rap.
  
  
• I love the frenzied horns in this fun Yoko Ono cover: Love is All - Kiss Kiss Kiss (MP3)
  
  
• I don't think I've posted Atmosphere here before, but chances are you're already familiar with Slug. Tracks like this renew my faith in underground hip-hop and hip-hop in general. Atmosphere - Say Hey There (MP3)
  
  
  
• Lily Allen vs. The Stone Roses - Waterlilly
  This is a chill mash-up of LDN vs. Waterfall.

  There is a nice selection of scary mash-ups here. Tracks from dj BC, Essexboy, Cheekyboy, Divide & Kreate, and Solcofn are usually safe bets. Mirror.

• The Big Lebowski - F_cking Short Version
  Video meme of the week. Great editing.
  
  
• If you think that mash-ups are dead, you haven't heard Girl Talk, who elevate the phenomenon of the mash-up to the level of illegal sample overload. Sure, too much mashing can be a bad thing. But don't tell that to this guy.
  
  Girl Talk - Bounce That
  Try to identify all the samples: Earth Wind & Fire, Purple Ribbon All-Stars, LCD Soundsystem, The Breeders, Wreckx N Effect, Elastica, Ciara and Ludacris, ok I'm tired.
  Girl Talk - Too Deep
  Too much going on in this one for me to enjoy it.
