haha - thats how i organize mine :) I can't find the 40 min. remix of Blue Room (all the talk about it made me want to dig it up) but I was going mix crazy the other night and there are big piles of cds everywhere. It's going to take me a couple of hours to put them back. Funny that when the question was asked about organizing cds no one said "I've got big piles on every piece of furniture and just hope I don't spill my beer on them." Time to pound the pavement looking for work.

Ok, this link is completely off topic, but I'm sure many Orb fans will appreciate it. This has got to be the single trippiest thing on the net. Make sure to watch past the Albert Hoffman part, that's where it gets really weird. http://w1.736.telia.com/~u73602493/flashback.html

Thrash

[Sung to the tune of "Flash Gordon" by Queen:] Thrash! Ahhhhhhh! He'll slag everyone of us! :) Good morning list. I've been back through the last few digests and haven't been able to figure out who (if anyone) asked Thrash to leave the list. There was some grumpy farting about off-topic posts (and since this is a post about the list it must be on topic) and some suspicious doubters who immediately apologized but were still suspicious but noone asked him to leave. Some one hinted to RMStringer that he should shut up (rather rude I thought but I get this list as a digest so the only thing that pisses me off about multiple posts are when one or many of them are in html (like I did the other day, sorry about that) so that I have to scroll longer than I'd like) or something but I think the only person that can, or should, ask anyone to leave is the list admin, and then he or she could do this off-list and enforce it. What am I talking about, you may ask? Fuck knows. I can't find the 40 min. remix of Blue Room (all the talk about it made me want to dig it up) but I was going mix crazy the other night and there are big piles of cds everywhere. It's going to take me a couple of hours to put them back.

I get this list through Digest so I don't sit here tracking it's progress all day. But I have picked up on some strangeness toward Trash. Now considering he is a founding member of the Orb I don't think anyone can deny him his opportunity to communicate with fans of his music even if he isn't still in the band. I am of the opinion that he is an integral part of the list and would be sorely missed for his witty and intelligent input. I'd like to think that I am not sharing a list with people who are 365days of the years thinking about the ORB in some sort of cocoon of self righteousness and self belief that denies un-selfish input. You know who you are, so stop asking for people to leave the list and just BE NICE. am I bad? BC23

As a collage artist myself I extend an open invitation to anyone to remix anything I've ever recorded. I've had several people I didn't know remix my stuff and I just think it's so cool to hear something based on my tracks that is nothing like what I recorded. I recorded a fairly traditional samba called "Skin Like Honey" (http://artists.mp3s.com/artist_song/875/875919.html) and it was remixed by a hip hop guy named SouL, my live synth extravaganza "Mania" was twisted up by Highdropod, and an even better example of complete twist up is my singer/songwriter song "Fix of You" (http://artists.mp3s.com/artist_song/671/671469.html) that was remixed by Mumra (http://artists.mp3s.com/artist_song/763/763858.html) into a dark trip hop piece. All great fun. Anyway, if you hear any of my stuff* and want to slice and dice it, I'll gladly send you the raw tracks for your mutalating pleasure. The only thing I ask is that you credit me as the artist being remixed. It would be nice if you'd slip me some money if you make any but I'll just take the exposure if you're a cheap bastard. ;) I understand that some artists get their panties in a wad when their albums are sampled but there are also artists that get upset when someone makes a radically different cover of any song they like. I heard some jazz bitch on NPR get totally bent out of shape over a remix that was done of her singing a Jobim song. It was a really cool mix and it was commissioned by the label. She felt the remixer (I can't remember who but it was a big name) had "ruined" the melody line. My problem with that is that no remix changes the existence of the original. It and every other version is still out there to hear. I bet some Hank Williams fans were irate that Red Hot Chili Peppers covered "Real Men Don't Kill Coyotes" (that was back when RHCP were good). Some felt that Devo's version of "Satisfaction" was an abomination. I really shouldn't reply to these e-mails in the morning with my coffee. Jesus. Oh yeah, actually on topic: Does anyone have any collections of samples from classic Orb songs? I don't think I'd actually do a remix of something so old but it would be neat to throw slices into my live sets. Though if I were to get my hands on the sounds from Blue Room... :) Hey, I did it to Papua New Guinea, so.
