Happy Hannukah and Xmas, I'd thought I'd carry on the holiday tradition of offending you all, equally (it's because I love you all!) with a video version of A&D's 'Give Da Jew Girls Toys' (Trio vs Sarah Silverman) as featured on the wonderful Boing-Boing featured <a href="http://www.djbc.net/menorah/">Menorah Mashups</a> compilation - which is highly recommended, especially the FAROFF mash <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhFKkPWsLXo">'House of Klezmer' </a>which I've posted here before).

It's also available to download for your iPod below - over at <a href="http://www.radioclashblog.com/video/">MutantPopTV</a> if the grinches get it before Xmas.

Anyhoos I looked for a video for 'Give Da Jew Girls Toys' and didn't find one - it's either a) they've all been ContentID'd by UMG (check! 1 DMCA on a Pear Tree! Thanks YouTube, you shouldn't have!) or b) people were too scared to do it (Two Twitter Ducks!) or c) it hadn't occured to them (3 Fr...that's enough, Xmas  Ed). Well anyway it's got one now as a present to A&D who are currently as I write rocking the <a href="http://www.bootiesf.com/">Bootie Xmas party</a>...

Video includes also some of santa's B-movie hits - the gloriously technicolor psychedic magic realist santa of 1959's <a href="http://www.spike.com/video/tribute-to-santa/3083250">'Santa Claus'</a> - a <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053241/">mexican production</a> previously featured on MST3K with Santa overseeing child sweatshops of wincingly stereotypical children, scary robotic reindeer and appearances by a devil and Merlin. Just as weird is S<a href="http://www.archive.org/details/santa_claus_conquers_the_martians">anta Claus Conquers the Martians</a> which not only is now in the public domain and downloadable for free, is like a seasonal cross between a stock fare Santa-gets-kidnapped movie, bad Doctor Who production and B-movie scifi. Odd.

Don't hit me - it was all in the <del datetime="2009-12-13T02:25:39+00:00">best</del> baddest possible taste. ;-)

 

EDIT! 18 videos in under 7 minutes from Tim Baker on Vimeo.

Ian Fondue's legendary mashup gets a video from Instamatic (ie, me!) 18 videos in 7 minutes, in a tribute to those 80's edit videos, Max Headroom and the like...it's got blipverts and internal references/in jokes in it, a la Alan Moore. Blink and you'll miss them! Tried also to show that most videos are essentially the same, and what may seem random is in fact rather ordered. Big thanks goes to Ian Fondue for such a great mashup - a staple of my sets, my Mashup of the Year (2008?) and long-deserving a decent video. I hope y'all enjoy. Features: Bodyrox ft Luciana - Yeah Yeah Obie Trice - Got Some Teeth Dr Dre - Forgot About Dre No Doubt - Hella Good Justin Timberlake - Sexy Back D12 - Purple Pills Lady Sovereign - Love Me or Hate Me Missy Eliott - Work It Black Eye Peas - My Humps Dizzee Rascal - Stand up Tall KRS1 - Sound of the Police Reel2Reel - I like to Move It Kylie - Slow Kelis - Milkshake Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five - The Message Madison Avenue - Don't Call me Baby Diana Ross - Upside Down J-kwon - Tipsy And a few other stealth bits ;-)

I love this song (incidentally it features Ezra Koenig from Vampire Weekend) one of my faves from 2009 but it didn't have that boom - or any boom at all. None of the mixes had a really deep beat or dance production, so here's my first ever solo remix as fingertrouble, I took the Theophilus London mix and added some beats and stuff. It's a hybrid of remix and mash, with some crafty loopage from various parts but the african kwaito-inspired beat and teh boom is mine. Also the original song doesn't have an official video, so here's a video I've made and shot in Africa (Ethiopia and South Africa) a few weeks ago. Also includes some video of the bonkers Sir Victor Uwaifo performing Guitar Boy - which where The Very Best got that great guitar sample from! Hope you like it - it was originally part of the Take Me Back To Africa video podcast but I've remixed the video too. Download it here (320kbs MP3)
