This is a fun little chunk from the middle of a big, mostly sloppy two-hour tag-team set I did one evening with Johnny Switchblade when he was in town visiting.

Mashups were all the rage in the UK in 2001, right before I got turntables. However, I got wind of the whole thing through Snuggles, an audio-collage email list. Needless to say, not long after I got decks in early 2002, I had to try my hand at it.
These tracks were the most successful vinyl mashups I recorded.

Part 1 2 3 4 5 6
circa 2001
Beavis and Butthead, Volume 1 was a glitch album executed live in one take, using a VHS tape of the show with the sound running through Audiomulch’s granulation, with periodic adjustment of the controls.
I would love for someone to marry this up with the video, as it really is quite interesting.
download: Quahogs, “Porn Test”
circa 2001
Like Beavis and Butthead, Volume 1, this was executed live in one take, this time using one of my roommate’s many porn videos, with the sound running through Audiomulch’s granulation, with periodic adjustment of the controls.
download: John Frusciante, “As Can Be (Quahogs’ Vowelized mix)”
circa 2000
My theory here was that since melody is carried in vowels (as opposed to consonants), if one were to edit out the consonants, all that would be left would be a sort of “concentrated” version of the song. The results were pretty interesting.
