Doing Things Wrong

Dr Pinch und ze Pinchtones

Did I just ruin ze mood again?

Another weird music video for you. They had a cool website with lots of great stuff, but alas it's gone now, replaced by stupid Facebook. I despise Facebook, I can't wait for the day when they go the way of MySpace.

I finally found a new video, and it's awesome !!!

To my mind, there are three kinds of "mash-up": functional, constructive, and stylistic.

  • functional mash-up changes the purpose of the base instrument, for example, building a bass on a guitar body. The Uke bass takes this to an extreme.
  • constructive mash-up is building a classic design in a different way, for example, substituting masonite and plywood for rare and expensive "tonewoods" ( most of which are in truth neither rare nor expensive, although you can pay a lot for them if you shop in the right places. )
  • stylistic mash-up consists of taking features from two or more different instruments and jamming them together. For example, horns on a violin body.
