blowin like a smoke machine

mellow_777 points us to an interesting comment by Ross Harris a.k.a. Rossangeles a.k.a. The Enchanting Wizard of Rhythm: Steve Hanft made a real video for Sissyneck that was never released. I sure hope this turns up somewhere.

While we’re talking about videos/films by Steve that we’d like to see, I’d also like to mention Computer Chips and Salsa. This was a tour documentary Steve made (or started to make) during the crazy-long Odelay tours. It would be awesome to see that too.

Also, I’m stoked about the Kill the Moonlight DVD release.

PS from Ghost: YouTube also has a video by Ross for “Funky Little Song” here.

UPDATE: Ross has posted another comment saying that the Sissyneck video was shot at the same time as the Where It’s At video, and is basically an extended version of the line dance scene. He also says that he’s gonna see if Steve has a copy of it, which hopefully means we’ll get to see this eventually!

Mashuptown has a new mashup of “E-Pro” with the Beastie Boys’ “So What’Cha Want?” by dj Erb. This is actually the second mashup of these two songs I’ve heard, I have another one by DJ Adequate. Anyway, check it out if you like mashups; dj Erb did a pretty good job.

Lebartron has posted a track called ‘Afro Funque’ on his myspace that he and Beck’s band recorded one day when Beck didn’t show up to the studio. It’s really cool, so check it out friends.

Thanks to evilgal @ becktabs for pointing this out.

sell me something vague and untamed

Wow. William Orbit has put up some Flash applications that allow you to remix the songs off his new album as well as a few other songs. Among the other songs is Beck’s version of ‘Feel Good Time’. I’ve only been playing with it for a few minutes but I’m having a lot of fun.

UPDATE: If you make a remix post a link to it in the comments! We’d love to hear it.

UPDATE 2: Well, it looks like William Orbit has taken the ‘Feel Good Time’ remix thing down. Most (all?) of the others are still there, but unfortunately the Beck track has mysteriously vanished.

UPDATE 3: Everybody seems to think the lyric is “big and untamed”, not “vague and untamed”. So sue me.

Please Enjoy

Ghost pointed me towards a mashup of “Hell Yes” with Q-Tip’s “Breathe And Stop”. It’s actually pretty good.

I would like to extend my welcome as well. Although I expect to be posting on here less often than Ghost, I still think I’ll have some interesting things to share with you.
