Also, there's no link to this playlist on the WFMU home page. That's probably why I'm still alone here.

...I'll differ with RRG. I got here with a perfectly good home page link, and see "January 30, 2013," which is the same date here in my cell. :) (Though note that I am NOT registered on the WFMU site...therein might lie the problem...)

On the other hand, this combo of songs is obscenely juxtaposed in a way that makes it kind of funny. The worst mash-up I've heard on FMU was probably RIAA's "Sweet California Girl O' Mine" - yes, GnR with the Beach Boys. Totally not necessary or pleasant.

MfS, Downloading some software to let you play two songs at once doesn't even pass the sniff test. I don't think extracting the stems out of a RockBand video game makes someone clever or creative and it sure as hell counts as stealing.

I don't think you want to pick this fight with me.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 4:41pm
Matt from Springfield:

Agree, Caryn! I wouldn't have known about that slick late 70s/80s prog band without Julie intro-ing me to them. Robert Plant tells WFMU to "Camel On!"

Hello Kitty as well! Glad it wasn't the end of the world, I must clutch a plush toy in one arm and a tall bottle of whiskey in another. Seems appropriate somehow :)
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 4:44pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Droll: People take Rockband stems and make mashups out of that? No, I don't mean to endorse that kind of laziness. I like mashups mixed from individual tracks. GHP, RIAA, Party Ben, Team9 and others are great at doing them.

Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 5:00pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Droll: Most of them started mash-ups in the early 00s, before those games were ever out. They probably took individual tracks off the CDs using (probably Apple) software.

As for licensing, I don't think the labels issue licenses at all, unless it's for a track for their own albums (e.g. "Rapture Riders"). I got all their tracks posted on their websites for free, they're not making any money from those.

Mash-Up started up as a DIY bedroom thing. It usually just combining two songs along without a lot of filtering.

@Andrew: That "Tom's Diner" remix from the early 90s has been called the first mash-up. So Suzanne Vega is the Mother of the MP3, and the Mash-Up!
Avatar 5:13pm
Droll:

MfS, That's my point: The musicians who spend years learning to play, work hard writing songs, and have to buy expensive instruments are getting nothing for all their effort. And you're right, neither is the crook who used the tracks.

If you can explain why this is a good thing, I'm sure the musicians not earning anything will benefit from your insights.

@Matt - I didn't have a car, so I was at the whim of my hosts to get around. according to them, po' boys where the top priority.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 5:21pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Droll: In any case, piracy of the original tracks is what's really cheating musicians out of earnings. If you think mixing stuff around for your own and listeners amusement should come with a publishing royalty, why not a royalty every time you play a song?

But I like artistic recombining of existing fragments to make a new thing--it's what folk music has done for generations. Most on WFMU love the concept of mash-ups, but you can always make an argument against them.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 5:22pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Mike: Po' boys are a priority! I've never had one of those myself. Did you go to little shacks and corner shops where they make them fresh? A co-worker says that those places make them the best.

MfS, Licensed streaming services (Spotify, Pandora, etc) pay a royalty every time you listen to a song, so that's already the norm. Film and TV have always paid for music that way. It's not my idea and it's not new or weird.

Traditional fusion by a musician playing a a mix of styles on a musical instrument (possibly from yet another style) is not comparable to taking credit for using the laptop your parents bought you to do homework on to play a loop sampled from someone else's song.
