    • Horrible Bosses
    • Kick-Ass
    • Religulous
    • I Think I Love My Wife
    • plus occurrences in several TV series

WARNING: Language Advisory.

Although the Violent Femmes' cover of Crazy (by Gnarls Barkley) was not used in movie soundtracks, I found the style of vocals they had used for their cover to be a better fit with the lyrics, and was more suitable for my purpose in producing the three voices (i.e. three points of view) in my mash-up that I envisioned whenever I heard the vocals.

Track Notes:
This is the second track released from my new mash-up series, Behind the Silver Screen.

Joining the Ranks of Mashup Industries

Mashup Industries

At the end of January, I had accepted a position as a new mercenary mash-up producer in the ranks of Mashup Industries (I guess I'm MI-7).

It's quite a privilege to be included as a member of a group of mash-up producers known for their quality mash-up productions. With mash-up producers such as DJ Clivester, Marc Johnce, DJ Schmolli, Dan Mei, Krazy Ben, and CjR Mix, I look forward to contributing to the high quality and diverse productions that's synonymous with the Mashup Industries label.

This announcement comes a few days before the release of my first mash-up track under the Mashup Industries label. February and March have been busy months for me, but I managed to squeeze in some time for mash-up production work and my next catchy little number.

Although I'm now a member of Mashup Industries, I'll still continue to update this blog with my latest productions and news.
