the 'Wonderwall' one starts off like something from Limmy's soundcloud page, which I mean in a positive way

AC/VC is killing me
― jmm, Thursday, 26 January 2017 19:43 (seven years ago) link
I'm impressed that most of the mashups make me laugh in the first ten seconds but he sees the concept all the way through rather than making into a pure punchline. AC/VC works surprisingly well, for example. Never heard his other albums

The beginning of Wow Wow feels like the pinnacle of mashups

Wallspin really does my head in. It's practically an aural illusion. Amazing that he managed to ruin this song twice.

Seriously. And both times amazingly

lol I just realized he changed "Jim West" to "Jim Dress" on "Wow Wow"

Would say btw - average quality maybe higher than Mouth Silence, jury out on whether he's bested Crocodile Chop or Born To Cat
― Check the BNM Pitchfork track review, it says Weezer too (imago), Friday, 27 January 2017 22:40 (seven years ago) link
i think ac/vc is my favourite ever neil cicieraga mashup, competing with crocodile chop and mullet with butterfly wings

JC/VC is all the more impressive for not seeming to need a ton of processing to make it work

Someone tweeted him showing that that mash-up had already been done (probably not as well but)

T.I.M.E. actually has some interesting comments on Youtube. The top thread is about the function of the All Star sample at the end. A commenter thinks it undercuts the emotion of the song, whereas Neil chimes in and says that it was meant to "return to the memeverse gently".

whoa, I totally forgot about the bonus tracks on Spirit Phone, some of these are incredible
― frogbs, Thursday, 2 February 2017 14:39 (seven years ago) link
This guy gives me the fucking creeps and everything of his that I've seen and heard is pervasively smug and/or deeply unfunny. I think the only reason I partially liked Spirit Phone for like a week was because it was a particularly dry spell for vaguely-Cardiacsy-pop-prog-whatever.

some outtakes from the mashup albums. a lot of it is unfinished and/or doesn't really work, but there's still some entertaining stuff here. "Sit on You" particularly
