Thumbs up Cool Mixes & Mashups

Cool Mixes and Mash-Ups:

Hey... do you want to hear some really cool DANCE Mixes and/or Mash-Ups? I though that you might like to hear a few for summer fun.

So, you say you don’t know what a Mash-Up is?

****
“Consists of the combination (usually by digital means) of the music from one song with the a cappella from another. Typically, the music and vocals belong to completely different genres. At their best, bastard pop songs strive for musical epiphanies that add up to considerably more than the sum of their parts.”

Mash-Up Definition: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bastard_pop
****

In other words a Mash-Up is 2 or more songs stacked together like a layered cake and played at once. But they don’t play the entire song, just parts of different songs (like the melody of one and the lyrics of another) as described in the above definition from Wikipedia.org. If done correctly, the Mashup can (many times) be better than the original, as you will find out.

I’ve posted links to some of my favorite Mixes and Mash-Ups (here) in this posting so you can download them and enjoy them during the summer. I’ve posted some good ones so you can have a nice small (starter) collection, if you want them. That is, unless this post is deleted.

Don’t forget to send some of your favorite MP3 links my way (using Box.net, see OFF TOPIC "In the sharing mood?" for explanation) if you have any. And don’t forget to look at the bottom of this posting for some great FREE programs that will help out your music experience.


Get'em while they're HOT!!!

* Please note that these Mixes & Mash-Ups are all very good DANCE music.

Some other links to great MP3s are located in the threads (In the sharing mood ?, In the sharing mood - 2, In the sharing mood - 3) just below the video links for each video.


THAT'S IT! I HOPE YOU LIKE THESE, THEY'RE ALL REALLY GREAT. HAVE A NICE SUMMER AND BE SURE TO LISTEN TO THESE FANTASTIC MIXES AND MASHES.



* Get MP3ext here http://www.mutschler.de/mp3ext/ it's a small, great, free program that will put icons on your MP3s that will show the bit rate of each song in the Windows file manager (Explorer.) You can also use the program to tag MP3s by right-clicking on the MP3 and then selecting "Properties." If you ever install some other program that plays MP3s, that (newly installed) program will probably change the icons back. Just reinstall MP3ext to change them back to the cool looking icons.

* Get MP3Gain here http://mp3gain.sourceforge.net/ it's free and easy to use. It's the best program that I've ever found to normalize your MP3s (Bring high volumes down and bring low volumes up) to a common volume without actually re-encoding the MP3.

What about mixes and mash ups to Alizees songs? Like at the end of her DVD en Concert, they played that im not twenty mix...

Also the Fun TV interview.. the show played mixes to her songs there also. The Alizee in Japan video, they also played song mixes from Alizees music.

Where can i find Alizee song mixes to download?

Matrix, I thought that everyone probably already had all of Alizee's songs and mixes by now. If you really want some then e-mail me privately and I'll send you some links. I don't really want to post all of her songs publicly because she said she wished that people wouldn't do that. And we wouldn't want to hurt our angel, would we. But, that being said, if it weren't for other people's postings I myself wouldn't have found out about the most beautiful and angelic being to ever have walked the face of this earth.

Matrix, it takes a while to upload the MP3s, make them available, and copy the links from Box.net but if you really want me to I will (for you) but it may take a few days because I'm getting busy with other things. Also, you can download Alizee music and videos using any P2P software like KLR (Kazaa Lite Resurrection) and eMule. Just type Alizee in the search box and "Voila!"

If you use the P2P then don't download anything under about 4Mb in size because the song will probably be 128Kbps (FM Radio quality, but pretty good.) Shoot for the 5 - 10Mb range (or greater) which will probably be 192Kbps (CD quality), 224Kbps (Studio quality) or 320Kbps (Oversampled quality.) The higher the bit-rate the higher the quality of the song (more Bass, more Treble, etc) but the larger the file size. 192Kbps is very, very good, that's what I shoot for. If you downloaded the program (MP3ext) that I linked on the bottom of (Cool Mixes and Mashes) then you'll have an icon on each MP3 (from within Windows Explorer - the file manager) that displays the bit-rate. It's very helpful.

Let me know...

You're killing me. Do you have her telehphone number or something? Who are you? Are you in direct communicado with Alizee? Does Alizee confide in you?

Does Alizee only disclose information to you? Who are you????????

OMG... i just had a crazy thought... maybe Cybersoil is ALIZEE !!!!!

Why wouldn't Alizee want her songs to be posted? OH.... i see.. because posting her songs takes away REVENUE from her albums.

Like you said, Kazaa, emule, edonkey, and others are posting her songs for free. God knows what other bit torrent sites are posting all her songs for free.

Anyways just wanted to say Cybersoil, you're killing me with those comments. You act like you know Alizee very very well. hmmmmm

I told you a long time ago, back when I first started posting that I was invited to a special birthday party (not her private one) in Paris, last August. I got to meet and talk to her for a few minutes and asked her a number of questions, like about those black stockings she wore in "J'en ai Marre," which by the way I was told weren't stockings at all; they were boots with black leggings made on... blew my fantasy right out of the water!

Anyway, I'm not going into detail, I've already explained all this (in private e-mails) to certain trustworthy friends I met here. But I will say that I did send them a picture I got to take of Alizee sitting at the dinner table with two of her girls friends pointing a knife at me while holding up her bread. After I explained that I was asked not to post the picture on the Internet (for various reasons) they also promised not to share or post it and I believe them. These people showed great interest so I gave them a copy for their private collections. After all, if they ever did post it then they would be breaking a promise that I made directly to Alizee. Like me, I don't think that they would ever break that promise, not it a million years... I sure won't!

Hope that answers some of your questions.

-Cybersoil

PS
No.. I don't have her phone number,
I just got lucky and knew the right people
and never, ever expect it to happen again.

...and no... eMule and other P2Ps are not really free,
they're theft and we all know it, but ignore it anyway.
