The Kleptones

The Kleptones, a mashup group has a new "album" entitled "24". It's a free download either as individual mp3 files or they have a torrent file for the whole thing, although yesterday, the torrent wasn't working for me (and it downloaded w/the wrong file name).

I downloaded the mp3s and burned a couple of CDs this morning (it's two disks worth of songs). Listened on the way to work, so I've only made it thru about a half dozen songs or so, but I'm pretty impressed so far! Track 3, "Down on Bennies" has Elton John's "Bennie and the Jets" for the vocal track, and it was several lines in before I figured out where it came from! Good mixing!

Their website has some other things they've done, so when I finish this one, I'll have to check out some more of their work.

On a completely different note, I've been neglecting this blog for the past month or so. I'm trying to come up with a bit more to post here. Most of my blogging lately has been a bit political, and I've been mostly moving that over to my GNN blog. I've also fallen down on keeping up with some of the blogs I read fairly regularly such as Mr. Titan's and Molly's. I'm going to get back on schedule for those also.

Thanks Molly.

I've managed to get a couple of my blog posts on gnn voted up to the top 10!

Sometimes I think I'm spreading myself a bit thin on the internet w/my personal website, my blogspot blog here, my gnn activities and now, I'm doing a bit of posting at Frequency 23 also!

But I do think it's all improving my writing.
