I don't want to spoil anything but a particular mashup pretty early on has made my day

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's "Floor Corn"

when I saw this on Twitter someone commented on that particular mashup and I was like, "there's no way he can make that work"

"annoyed grunt" is a masterpiece

jesus christ @ the "what a fool believes"/"in the end" mashup

my only complaint is that he threw in "Bustin'" which is both old and one of my least faves

"T.I.M.E." is probably the only time a song has gone from "this is incredibly stupid" to making the hairs raise on the back of my neck

MIA and Mario Paint were made to go together.

lol this is now #1 for 2017 on the RYM chart

fuckin' right on

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

never heard of this guy

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

So many tigers, it happens to tigers

How do you explain Tim Allen?

Man, "Mysterious Ticking Noise" is almost ten years old.

jmm, Friday, 27 January 2017 15:39 (seven years ago) link

The beginning of Wow Wow feels like the pinnacle of mashups

Check the BNM Pitchfork track review, it says Weezer too (imago), Friday, 27 January 2017 16:57 (seven years ago) link

"wow wow" is an incredible jam

who is extremely unqualified to review this pop album (BradNelson), Friday, 27 January 2017 17:10 (seven years ago) link

yeah I'm definitely slotting that, "Bustin", and "Shit" into my party playlist

frogbs, Friday, 27 January 2017 17:13 (seven years ago) link

just about killed myself laughing at ac/vc

Islamic State of Mind (jim in vancouver), Friday, 27 January 2017 17:15 (seven years ago) link

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

frogbs, Friday, 27 January 2017 17:28 (seven years ago) link

Seriously. And both times amazingly

Check the BNM Pitchfork track review, it says Weezer too (imago), Friday, 27 January 2017 17:31 (seven years ago) link

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

frogbs, Friday, 27 January 2017 17:32 (seven years ago) link

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

Islamic State of Mind (jim in vancouver), Friday, 27 January 2017 22:46 (seven years ago) link

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

a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Friday, 27 January 2017 22:47 (seven years ago) link

er AC/VC

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

Check the BNM Pitchfork track review, it says Weezer too (imago), Friday, 27 January 2017 22:52 (seven years ago) link

i now think 'annoyed grunt' might have bested everything else

Man, "Mysterious Ticking Noise" is almost ten years old.

He talks about his childhood here. Says that he basically spent all of homeschool making games and animations.

when I found out that this was the same guy who'd done brodyquest who was also the mash up guy it blew my mind

This is fun

THE SKURJ OF FAKE NEWS. (kingfish), Sunday, 29 January 2017 01:50 (seven years ago) link

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".

jmm, Sunday, 29 January 2017 18:00 (seven years ago) link

lol canyon.mid @ the end

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.
