What is this? Well, Radio Clash, is a weekly mashup podcast from your host, Tim in London.
It's the one of the longest running podcasts in England (since Nov 2004), and includes mash-ups (of course), mixes, weird covers and more! As featured in The Independent, the BBC, SPIN and Entertainment Week, and even the world's first ever podcast on psychedelics (!), it brings you the history of mash ups, bootleg events, news, views and interviews of the bootlegging scene and beyond. More about the podcast.

Want to hear Little Boots covering Freddie Mercury?
Amiina (Sigur Ros’s string section, played on RC in the past) covering OMD?
Au Revoir Simone covering one of my favourite ELO songs (Here is the News)
AC Slater, probably the best remixer atm outside of Jackbeats remixing Prodigy?
Bonde de Role doing Pigbag?
Young Punx doing Clapping Song?
Nightwaves doing Phil Collins?
Good Books and Freezepop doing Yazoo?
JoolsMF remixing Gwen McCrae (heard good things about this from a mutual friend, and he’s a regular on Radio Clash).

Buffet Libre, who produced those excellent 80’s covers and remixes by modern bands from last year that I ‘rinsed’ like crazy on Radio Clash and my DJing online and off, have done it again - Buffet Libre Rewind 2.

Only listened to a few off the front page but already it’s HIGHLY recommended by me - highlights are the aforementioned current goldenboy of remixes AC Slater with his remix of The Prodigy (looks like the 80’s rule has been relaxed somewhat) and Bonde de Role’s funk carioca take on Pigbag

Well no they aint but they can do stuff like this:

Thanks Andy for sending this to me!

Also found this great Uke cover by one of these guys of ‘Whatever Happened to Rock n Roll’!

Happy New Year! No it’s not suddenly jumped forward to 2020 (after a year like that, I personally wouldn’t mind though) but a track by the The Herd. I featured them previously on the Radio Clash international hiphop show, they’ve got a great new video and like a few things reminds me of what’s going on with the shocking situation in Gaza - history repeats again and again, and people just don’t see to care, unless it affects them directly.

Not new but just spotted this ‘researching’ the biggest selling singles of 2008…mostly biggest pieces of shite of 2008 - of which the original Nickleback tune was one big steaming one.

Weirdly how a parody + pictures + man in a dress says more about the sad cult of celebrity and the sorry state of pop than 10,000 articles…I hope in 2009 we lose this obsession with celebrity, because it has caused the very brainrot that probably has lead to the economic, political and intellectual crash of 2008.

Boston paper Weekly Dig has given props to DJNoNo and Santastic 4!

Muppets? John Denver? Do they KNOW what insanity they are dealing with here? LOL. Be very scared… In fact I came up with another Xmas tune on the 23rd, too late sadly. Next year?

Thanks! Santastic4 is still available to download, unless you’re totally maxed out on Xmess tunes….and the video hasn’t been attacked by angry Mariah Carey fans (yet).

Hope you had, and have, a good one!
