Songs of the week: 11/18/08

Not much new this week, just a couple vaguely interesting songs. I am pretty excited for Thanksgiving, though, because that means I'll be going home to sunny Florida for the first time in almost four months...crazy!

Also, if you missed it, check out my mash-up of Beyonce and Lil' Wayne.

***songs of the week #11

1. Take Your Soul To Work Day - Definition
2. Something Is Not Right With Me - Cold War Kids (Old news, I know - it's been all over mtvU, but it's still a fun song)
3. Ave Maria - Beyonce (...aka Sasha Fierce! And ho-oly shit, she has a set of pipes on her)
4. If You Can Still Hear This Whispering, You Are Dying - deepset (Wow)
5. Low Lovin (Flo Rida & T-Pain vs. Chromeo & Yuksek) - DJ Earworm (Speaking of mash-ups...)

Mash-up: Beyonce vs. Lil' Wayne

Over the last couple of weeks, I've been toying around with the idea of mashing up Beyonce's "Irreplaceable" and Lil' Wayne's Comfortable, but it never went anywhere. Last night, fueled by terrible insomnia, I decided to actually do something about it. I kicked this out in about 3 hours in Audacity, so excuse me if it's a little bit rough. So, here it is for the internet to pick apart.

If you like it, tell your friends, maybe leave a comment. If not, tell your friends anyway, and feel free to leave me a nasty comment telling me as much. Also, if you are so inclined, maybe even give it a Digg?

Enjoy (or not): To The Left (Beyonce vs. Lil' Wayne)- Andy Kissner

Miscellanea

Hello all, hope everyone had a nice weekend. Just a little bit of housekeeping and updates in this post, nothing special.

First off, I'm very excited to announce that I'm going to have another writer on board here at the lost art of found sound. He's a good friend of mine named Chris Sanders, and he's a very talented writer. He should be starting in early December, and look for a post every week or so.

And, as you may know, last week was the first edition of my roommate's and my radio show "The Insomniac Dance Party" on WCDB in Albany. I had posted a setlist along with a podcast, which, as you may have noticed, is no longer up. This wasn't my doing - I officially got my first DMCA notification, and the content was removed. I guess the upside of that is it means that enough people read my blog that The Powers That Be took notice. I will be posting this week's episode as a podcast, but if that gets taken down, then I'll just call it quits on that front.

Last, but not least, tomorrow is November 18th, which means Beyonce will officially become....Sasha Fierce. Can't. Fucking. Wait.

Hope everybody has a nice week, and stick around - there's exciting things a-happenin'.
