So, I finally put up one of my remixes of Arvo Pärt's "Magnificat" on Soundcloud. I did this a while ago, using really simple technology on purpose. It's really more a sketch than anything. I dig it anyways. Hoping Daneeka's Ghost or Nibbish digs it.
Otherwise, what's on your players today, fine folk?

You clearly stole my playlist and added a bunch of songs that I'm surprised I don't have. Nice list.

Oh, and the Pärt remix has been added to my "To Listen" folder, AMR. I'm certainly interested to hear it.
I enjoyed it, too, though I wish the mix was a bit louder.
D's Ghost: That's why I made it download-available.
Bootsy: Thanks for the kind words. I can't immediately make it louder. I used a very simple program, and I couldn't simply undo the lack of compression in the original. The lack of compression happens all the time with classical recordings: quiet parts are very quiet to allow for more dynamics. It bugs me in those recordings, and now I've gone and replicated the results. Hence the "demo" tag.
I can probably compress it if I download a copy of Audacity for my new computer. I have some other versions that start out louder, because I overlapped parts from later in the original. I'll try to pick the best of those and post that as well.
Unfortunately, I think I may have lost the very simple old-fashioned program that I used to make this version. I've got a few other (older) pieces that I've made using similar techniques, with non-musical starting points: one of me banging on a window, and one of Homer Simpson saying "Mmm...Beer". I'll try to dig them up and some other things I've done and post them at soundcloud over time.
I think the Pärt remixes were the last things I've created, and I really just made them because I wanted some ambient versions of some classical music I had. "Magnificat" works great because it really shows off Pärt's "Tintinnabulli" style with a choral piece.
I didn't realize it was a download. I'll grab it and bump up the volume in iTunes.

A few months ago I started assembling a list of the concerts I attended (that I could remember). I don't see any overlap between us (not that I wouldn't have wanted to go to quite a few of those shows - and I've seen 4onthefloor, but at the Pizza Luce block party rather than UMN).

So is that exclamation point part of her name for real? Like Ke$ha?
I thought it was just a typographical choice.
So says the iTunes download, anyway. That's the way it appears on my Google Play Music feed, too.

Well fine then. If you're going to be that way, you're just going to make me like the song more.

*Notes:
1&2. Just added a bunch of Daytrotter Sessions that I've downloaded over the past few months to the iPod. Haven't listened to either of these just yet.
T. Japanese Edition. This track is highly recommended. I first bought this on 7" Vinly (b/w Sakamoto's remix of "Rubaiyat"), only to find the Japanese album for sale used in Mankato about a decade after its release, for $8.
E. It's bizarre to hear the same voice that did "Night Nurse", which is basically timeless, to have one of his last singles sing about the internet. Yes, the song title is the first line of the chorus. "The pain and the hurt you can't afford to hide/ Just meet me on my website / Dubyou Dubyou Dubyou Dubyou Love Dot Com / When you need some fun."

4. I don't really like Ella for some reason. Never have. I understand that's wrong of me, but there it is. A couple of her songs work for me, but a lot don't. This one doesn't.
6. I still enjoy Weird Al. And if you want to talk about a good concert, this is the guy!
8. When I didn't live in the same state and/or country as Philosofette, this song was a big deal to me.
9. Somehow this song was a hit when Philosofette studied abroad in London. It's awesome in a very very strange way. Check it out.
10. Whatever happened to Joseph Arthur? Wasn't he about to be huge like a decade ago?
