Went through some of the remixes I've heard for tracks off Guess Who's a Mess: Just in a Phase (Elijah Lucian remix) Thanks for the Add (antisocial industrial remix) Model Home (dotjot feel the Good Life remix) Fluoride (Piero Peluche remix) Come Back (Karstenholymoly remix) The First Thing About Me - (Building on Fire remix) Feel Free! Plastic Surgery! (Piero Peluche remix) Come Back (diistinazione_altrove remix)

Thanks to everyone who's been playing with my songs. You can get the source/stems for them all here and send your remixes (or video or whatever) in here.

Out of It's travelling around out there, which rules! A brief recap:

• I'm a Featured Commoner on the Creative Commons blog.
• There's a Jamendo feature.
• There's a Q&A with me over on ccMixter.
• I did an interview for the Command Line podcast.
• Wil Wheaton likes it!

Remixes and stuff:

• There are a good number of remixes going on over at ccMixter. Still going through them to find the gems – finding listening to my voice difficult.
• This partial-Flash video for Certain Death makes me happy.
• Athene (best paladin in the world) is using the new songs!
• I'm behind in updating the music info page but will get on that soon.

Extra places you can get it:

• Out of It is now on Amazon.com. It's out of stock right now but I shipped off some more a week ago so it should be up soon.
• It's on Magnatune now.
• It's on Jamendo.
• It's been delivered to Napster, Rhapsody, Amie Street, Apple iTunes and eMusic (and a few other I've never heard of) but when they put it online is up to them. Let me know if you spot it.
• Out of stock at CD Baby but should be back in soon.
• A bunch of the new tracks are on iLike, if you're into adding stuff to Facebook and so on.
• The whole album's up on Last.fm as well.
• My MySpace page has been updated with new songs also.

There are a lot of things I'm missing, but this will have to do for now.

I've been loading all user-submitted stuff (remixes, tabs, etc) into a database so I can display and maintain it better. I loaded all the remixes people have done of my songs into it today and spat out this chart:

Interesting, I always figured Making Me Nervous and Dirtbag would be way up there as they're my most popular tracks, but I'm surprised to see Overreacting in the top three.

I'm way, way, hopelessly, way behind on posting remixes. I've been in denial about it as they've stacked up, but I think I have to admit that I'm so far behind I may never be caught up again. I still love getting the remixes -- but it takes a lot of time to process them and I'm short on the time lately. CC Mixter and I'll make listing those here a priority. Sorry to all the remixers who sent stuff in that hasn't been posted. Anyway, I just thought I'd come clean.

Update: Remix posts to CC Mixter should automatically show up in the remix section (way down at the bottom) now. Still tidying that up, but it seems to work.

Finally (after months of delay) I think the source to every song on I Don't Know What I'm Doing as well as separate acapellas is now on ccMixter here. And now I'm happy to move on to new things to put off for months, like trying to integrate the ccMixter list of remixes onto my site somehow.

I've been getting a lot of email about some remixes done by an Israeli group called Psycraft on their album Computech. They've done remixes of Borderline and Dirtbag and apparently have had a bit of success with it, appearing on the latest Raja Ram mix cd.

Here's a cover for I Don't Know What I'm Doing Remixed that Sam Stroube did:

Also he's got a short film/video called Oatmeal set to a Brother Machine song that you can check out here.

MC Jack in the Box has remixed my entire I Don't Know What I'm Doing album. It's called I Don't Know What I'm Doing Either.

Remixes:

• Bad Attraction (Mind Gears mix)
• Look and Feel Years Younger (narf mix)
• Making Me Nervous (electro glorious mix)
• Making Me Nervous (gov crunchy apple mix)
• Overreacting (5 Easy Steps To Building A Better Birdhouse mix)
• Overreacting (justdave mix)
• Sick as a Dog (Pizt 2 Fast mix)

A bunch more have been added over on my ccMixter page.

• John Bintz has done a short film called Reginald Smith: The Cookie Meltdown. I'm told there's a remix of my song Dropping Out of School in there about a third of the way through.
• Simon David put Making Me Nervous in a video diary for the feature film he's producing.

As far as podcast play, I've kinda lost track because I'm disorganized. My Podsafe page tells me I've been played on Unsigned podcast, Tower of Song, RSM Robert Smoove Music, Radio Free Cruze and IT Conversations lately. Thanks!

Hey look, it's the Brad Sucks Online Collaboration Contest, brought to you by KillYourFM Magazine and MyVirtualBand.com. Here's how to participate.

MyVirtualBand.com is a site I think I've talked about before. Its main goal is to hook up potential musical collaborators and get them working on songs together. For this competition thing, I've provided the source to my song Dirtbag. People can now collaborate with it or re-record everything or do whatever the like with it. Entries will be judged and so on. Here's how to participate.

People are still downloading the hell out of the remix album and my album source, which is fantastic. Thanks to everyone who's been spreading it! Here's some remixed cover art that the original I Don't Know What I'm Doing album artist Allen Henderson did:

In retrospect I probably should have asked him to draw that before I beat him so badly in Scrabble.

And here's an I Don't Know What I'm Doing cover remix that Michael Brewer did:

Thanks Michael! If you've got a remixed cover, send it on in.

Hello to everyone coming in from Boing Boing. My server exploded under the weight of everyone trying to download my source files and remix album at once, but things seem better now. I've had to take the remix album MP3 files offline temporarily and I'm trying running everything else through Coral.

If you can, please use Bittorrent to grab the remix album and source:

Here's the I Don't Know What I'm Doing Remixed torrent. (96 megs)

And here's the I Don't Know What I'm Doing Source torrent. (560+ megs)

Thanks!

I Don't Know What I'm Doing Remixed is finally online. 18 tracks, 1:04:09 playing time. It was a lot of work putting it together but I think it turned out pretty well. Thanks to all the remixers and to everyone who helped spread the word that I've been giving away the source to my album I Don't Know What I'm Doing. (You can get the full source here.)

Here's the zip file for I Don't Know What I'm Doing Remixed. Here's the torrent.

• Bad Attraction (wOOdy mix)
• Dirtbag (Harris Cohen mix)
• I Think I Started a Trend (wOOdy PROmixx)
• Making Me Nervous (Dan Bishop mix)
• Sick as a Dog (teru mix)
• Time to Take Out The Trash (The Recycled Remix)

I'm sure there are more I've missed on CCMixter.

Also, holy crap, a drummer has been found. His name is Bruce, here's a sample of him on his electronic kit rocking out to Look and Feel Years Younger:

• Look and Feel Years Younger (Bruce Spence mix)

I met with him this week and Rob and I are pretty excited about kicking it live.

Podcasts I'm told I've been played on recently:

• The DarkCompass Podcast
• Tartanpodcast
• Getting a Leg Up

Some other things:

• One of my songs is in "A Few Minutes With Them" (Windows Media / Quicktime) a short film that's getting submitted to festivals. If you have any feedback on it, send it to comments@bullyfilms.com.
• One of my songs is also going to be in a Dutch snowboard movie being made by RELOAD. I went snowboarding last winter and broke my ass.
• Teru, a prolific remixer, has gotten a page of his Brad Sucks remixes up on New Music Canada. Check out the page here.

The many times delayed remix album is more dangerously near completion than ever before.

If I missed your remix, please send it in again because I have no mind:

• Bad Attraction (earjamm mix)
• Borderline (DU mix)
• Borderline (teru mix)
• Dirtbag (teru mix)
• I Think I Started a Trend (teru mix)

Thanks to all the remixers as always. You can get the source to a bunch of my tracks here. You can email them to me or put them on my CC Mixter page for instant gratification.

Remixes, a mashup and a cover, oh my:

Latest source is still I Think I Started a Trend (61mb). Other source is available here. Send me your mixes.

Here's some remixes and also the first mash-up I've gotten:

• Making Me Nervous (Tomas PhUsIoN mix)

The latest remix source is for I Think I Started A Trend (61mb). As always, please deliver to me your remixes and I will be most pleased.

I'm going to be presenting an award on The Skinny on Sports' award show podcast - The Skinnies. Presenters include Adam Curry, Dave Slusher, Michael Geoghegan and some other familiar names. Apparently listeners have the chance to win a 1 gig iPod Shuffle and Etymotic 61 earphones, the show should be up on and after Wednesday.

I'm working on a lot of Brad Sucks related stuff and hope to start actually finishing some of those things soon or at the very least die in my sleep and have them released posthumously.

A batch of freshly hatched remixes:

• Bad Attraction (Future Boy Sambadelic mix)
• Borderline (Fantastic Vamps 8-Bit mix)
• Making Me Nervous (Autolect mix)
• Sick as a Dog (Future Boy Old-Time mix)
• Sick as a Dog (The Canine Fever Dream mix)

Despite a few additions this week, Sick as a Dog gets the award for being the least remixed song so far.

Apparently the remix podcast feed was broken, it should be fixed now. Thanks to Herbert for letting me know.

There's an interview with me here I did a while ago. As for Podcast play, I think The Skinny on Sports is using my music as an intro/outro. I see others fly by on Technorati but I lack the drive, ambition and organizational skills to write them down.

Hey, if you're the person who did the MatterOverMind remix of Making Me Nervous, please email me as I've lost your address. I'm on the home stretch of contacting remixers for the remix compilation.

More remixes!

• Sick as a Dog (Bill Berry mix)
• Making Me Nervous (Alexander Deeley mix)
• Look and Feel Years Younger (alexander Deeley mix)
• Borderline (Schizophrenic Remix)
• Dirtbag (Daddy Jamies mix)
• Dirtbag (Wadical Weft mix 1)
• Dirtbag (Wadical Weft mix 2)
• Bad Attraction (Wadical Weft mix 1)
• Bad Attraction (Wadical Weft mix 2)

Latest song source is still Sick as a Dog. I'll be getting back to emailing remixers about including them on the remix CD real soon. Email me your mixes soon if you want to be on it.

Here are some of the remixes and news that it's taken me forever to post. A bunch of the remixes are ones I downloaded from Remixfight from before it got hacked (by the same security hole it seems that took out my forums and server some weeks ago):

• Bad Attraction (Bill Berry mix 3)
• Bad Attraction (Dr. Kong Balong mix) by Dr. Kong Balong
• Bad Attraction (Four Stones mix) by fourstones.net
• Bad Attraction (Want To Do My Own Thing mix) by Heurstics Inc.
• Bad Attraction (Oomatoz's My Own Thing mix)
• Bad Attraction (The Other White Noise mix) by The Other White Noise
• Bad Attraction (Undesirable's Ode To Finger mix)
• Sick as a Dog (MC Jack in the Box mix)

Latest source is for Sick as a Dog and you can get it here. Get your remixes in to me and you could be on a remix compilation coming out in the new year. Ooh la la!

Other junk:

• You can buy individual songs off my album on MSN Music now. Previously you could only buy the whole album, glad that's fixed.
• Apparently Australia's Triple J station played something by me and mentioned me. That is sweet.
• Drew Tetz tipped me off to my songs being used in yo-yo videos (1 and 2) The first one is from "The 2004 World Yo-Yo Contest" and is pretty hardcore.
• I've lost track of all the Podcasts that are playing me. I think one was plph.radio and I did a semi-custom intro for the Reel Reviews back when I had time to spare.

That is all for now.
