Steely Dan & Michael Jackson - Billie Dan

Track 6 | This Isn't Right

This was the result of two crushes happening simultaneously that ended up dating each other. And a feeling that I was somehow a means to an end - used by one to get closer to the other, then discarded. I let my emotions and wishful thinking get the better of me. I now realize that Brooke was the one who felt it the hardest and wrote the bridge.

Fleetwood Mac meets Police meets Ozma. I love this track, now that I'm over it.

This Isn't Right

Track 3 | Debris and Ashes

"If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken

    Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,

    And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:"

- Rudyard Kipling "If"

I've had to watch as years of my life were destroyed and I had to regroup and start again. No use dwelling on who hurt you, and what they had to say. Just keep going, never look back, and improve as a person when you can.

From this point on its just me and MIDI.




Debris and Ashes

This mellow, more-laid-back-than-usual rock mashup is dedicated to the memory of Scott Weiland, a singer and songwriter best known as the frontman of Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver. Since MTV made me into an alternative rock aficionado in the early '90s, STP has always been one of my favorite bands, and I feel fortunate to have attended a concert by their original lineup in 2002. Sure, STP had a lot of amazing hits over the years, but in my opinion, the most satisfying entries of their discography are their B-sides, such as their 2001 song "Wonderful". Recently, when that song was stuck in my head, I began to notice vague similarities with Ben Folds Five's "Underground" and Genesis' "Throwing It All Away". For songs to work in a mashup, they don't need to have the EXACT same chord progression, and sometimes playing around with differently structured songs can yield surprisingly successful results.

Here's a list of the music sources I used:

Ben Folds Five - Underground
Stone Temple Pilots - Wonderful
Genesis - Throwing It All Away
Wild Arms IV - So Close, Yet So Far Away
Stone Temple Pilots - Atlanta
Tears for Fears - Break It Down Again ("Worldbuilder" Soundmark)

Track 4 | False Alarm

When you fall in love with someone and start making decisions to stay together at your own expense. I was struggling with Plurality and didn't realize the worst of my memories are kept by Brooke. They'd initiate a break up, I'd undo it. Repeat. 

I'm pretty proud of the instrumentation of this one, lots of harmonies and creative guitars and synths. I redid the drums at some point with the intention of redoing the whole song - but lost those files and decided to keep it as is.

this mashup is somehow relevant with the current events going on rn, and i just wanna wish that you guys out there stay safe, especially those in the affected areas. police brutality is just sickening imo and i hope when this is all over, justice will prevail and maybe the world can be a bit better than before. with that said, i just wanna apologise for this wall of text too.

also, have i told you that these two songs share the same key?

If you can't wait for Neil Cicierega's next "Mouth" album, give my mashups a try and hopefully you'll like them almost as much as you like his.
