http://soundcloud.com/jhsounds/toadlogic In light of OC ReMix's change to VocalClocked ReMix and allowing mashups, I've submitted a mashup/arrangement that combines the classic Battletoads with the vocals of Daft Punk's "Technologic". For the longest time I wondered how to re-imagine such a classic video game tune, but the recent changes in the OCR guidelines and standards made it possible to take it to new directions. I was also concerned about possible lack of source when submitting my remix; however this was resolved by maintaining the all-important triple-clap of the original.

So I'm guessing my "Finality" remix is the only one that will make the cut? Between this ThaSauce announcement, the new VocalClocked ReMix requirement, and Cyril's recent move to Norway to join a black metal band, my future as a killer studio remixist seems dim.

Happy birthday!

For the longest time I used to be disappointed in the fact that I never settled on a style or genre. I went through phases, moving on and shaking things up whenever I felt like my work was stagnating. I think I've come to realize that my love of music can't really funnel into a definitive style, per se. In a way this film represents the shaking up of things, and I found it to be a great film to watch. EDIT: Also this.

This is probably my favorite compo, just because of the magic of collaboration. I wish I could remember the original quote, but when you put two one-person-band entities together, inspired stuff happens. Of course, great songs also come about even if both parties are less-than-well-rounded musically. I'll be keeping an eye on this for my blog, and maybe I'll team up for a song sometime in the future.

This sounds cool. I'll be sure to cover this in my blog alongside the other compos.

"Somewhere That's Green" performed by Ellen Greene ...and I just now noticed her surname.

Man, this makes me wish I had held out for a cupcake before I came back from hiatus with a new album.

We need a share-button for this conversation.

Haha, I'm glad I could inspire someone.

Happy birthday!

http://soundcloud.com/jhsounds/ I mostly post alternate versions of my songs there, and rarities.

Haha, I found this entertaining. The concept behind the song seems fun too.

Happy birthday!

I appreciate the comments!

I highly endorse this enterprise.

Check out my music video for one of the songs, "New Beginning". http://youtu.be/vv-NZgOtmlk There's also an exclusive remix of one of the tracks on my SoundCloud page. http://soundcloud.com/jhsounds

Come join us tonight! http://compo.jhsounds.com/

Much love! <3

I'm totally interested in a NYC meetup if that happens.

Happy birthday!

If you're interested, here's my writeup of this round's entries: http://blog.jhsounds.com/2012/02/compos-are-magic.html

So I'm guessing the show is back and whatnot, right?

Happy birthday!

Ah, cool. I'll be sure to mention this in my compo blog along with the other compos I cover.
