Mother 3. "Ok, wow, I've got some really good news and some really bad news! The good news is I found this fang that'll be great for use as a weapon! The bad news is where I found it... it was impaled through your wife." (that may not be correct word-for-word, but that's the gist of it)

Haha, I only just recently (as in a month or two ago) beat the game for the first time, and just this past week got 102% completion. The lost world is brutal -- the game designers pulled some brilliantly sadistic dick moves in some of those levels.

This mix is utterly fucked up, bizzarre, trippy, and just plain wierd. I approve.

OSHIT! Did I miss the classical music penisfight?

Actually, this is exactly what I was going for: bare, harsh, and exposed. More like sound effects and wankery than melodic soloing.

updated, same link Thinking about adding a rippin' guitar solo at the end (starting at 2:48)

Right from the first sax note, this mix is just pure awesome. Excellent performances. A bit louder and more compressed than I would have liked for a live performance like this, but otherwise strong production.

Ah. Also, when are you going to return to "you have been brought here to die?"

Isn't that the whole point of the song? I always thought it was deliberately written to be creepy. Look, singers are just like authors; when they say "I" in their work, it doesn't necessarily refer to the artist. They aren't necessarily writing songs about themselves. If you want somebody who does something similar (and much more blatantly), look at Randy Newman. Do you think he actually believes we should blow up the rest of the world? Do you think he actually hates short people? Of course not. Billy Joel, Sting, etc, they're no different. THeir songs aren't necessarily about themselves. "Every Breath you Take" is a perfect example.

Wait.... You.... Um... Wow.

Yes, there was some Radical Dreamers in there. JJT: lemme see if I can dig up some of my old midi remixes.

OCR isn't demanding that you do anything. The difference is location; it's unreasonable for a religious organisation to try to make us show that level of reverence here on OCR, because OCR is not a religious organization. If we were to, say, walk into your church and fail to show proper reverence to your beliefs, you would be within your rights to take offense. But quite simply, this is OCR's turf, not the church's. Therefore OCR's rules are accepted over the church's. Any attempt to censor somebody else's actions on their own turf based on what would be offensive on your turf is, by definiton, intolerant. I think Dave's post was absolutely correct.

I sampled it myself (from my shitty radioshack keyboard)! I was quite proud of that.

This thread seriously needs some more love. Nice stuff! I'll give a more detailed breakdown when I get home tonight.

First post updated.

Yeah, I definitely couldn't detect any autotuning artifacts

I'd been sequencing midis in NoteWorthy composer for a year or two before these; these were all made with modplug tracker. ROFL This was before I learned to play guitar. Come to think of it, my initial post wasn't quite accurate: I think these are actually my second, third, and fourth attempts at remixing. I still haven't been able to find my first (which got direct-rejected, and never made it to the judges panel)

I wholeheartedly dissagree. He took a source and interperetted and expanded on it, the textbook definition of a remix. Furthermore, it took some real creativity, not to mention some serious balls, to do something like this. This is groundbreaking, Doug has done something here that no remixer on the site has ever done before, which is no small feat considering that it's the site's 1844th mix.

HAHA! DO you still have that one? I couldn't find it. If you have it, send it my way and I'll add it to the first post.

I just found these lying around on my hard drive. These are some of my earliest mixes. They suck BADLY. So I thought I'd share them for lulz, and perhaps to encourage n00bs by demonstrating that it's ok if they suck, because we all sucked when we started (except for assholes like sixto and CPac) http://www.geoffreytaucer.com/wips/sonicice.mp3 (yes, it's icecap zone) http://www.geoffreytaucer.com/wips/zeal.mp3 (yes, it's corridors of time) EDIT: Another of my earlier ones, courtesy of skrypnyk: http://www.geoffreytaucer.com/wips/poochy.mp3 (poochy's theme from Tetris Attack -- sucks slightly less than the other two)

Pure unadulterated sexy badness.

I'm still trying to figure out what progressions I like for a muscle-up; some kids seem to pick it up relatively easily, some don't. I have some extremely strong kids who can't do them, and I have some that aren't as strong that can. Lots of dips and pull-ups seem to help, but beyond that I can't really tell you. One thing I will say, though; make sure you've got the grip right. It is MUCH MUCH easier with a false grip than with a hanging grip. The easiest way I can describe a false grip is this: put your hands through the rings so your wrist is resting on the ring itself. Then, without otherwise shifting your hand, pull your thumbs back through to the other side. You should be able to grip the rings with your wrists on top, not hanging under them. This will make the transition a LOT easier.

LOL For the record, the irony was not lost on me. EDIT: For those who have no idea what's going on here: the lyrics are an adaptation of the lord's prayer in Swahili. I say "ironic," because I'm one of the more outspoken agnosts/atheists in PP&R
