Hi 'n' Lo,

A new Ruben Ortiz Torres video just showed up on youtube.
It's described by it's author as:

"The missing link between Brancusi, constructivism and the low rider pick up movement of the late eighties and early nineties."

I think you could also add Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, and Fernand Leger to that list.








Last up, is the first work by Ruben Ortiz Torres I ever saw. I guess it's his most famous.

It still looks and sounds good after all these years, especially on youtube.

It belongs mixed in-between a whole list of low bit rate rips of constructivist/futurist films and 3gp's of radical beds and hydraulic hops.

they just don't make 'em like this anymore.

ads, that is. i'm sure the valium is still the same.

HYPNOTIZED

So the re-edits have officially started...

First up is a sleeper from the second incarnation of Fleetwood Mac called "Hypnotized."

Here's the original version taken off of YouTube:

The track is from the 1973 LP "Mystery To Me,"

a great album led by Bob Welch...

...who left the band before Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nicks could make them pop superstars.

Hopefully I've done this great track some justice...

Here's the original from YouTube:

MORE FLEETWOOD MAC - NESS

2 more edits for your consideration...

The first is a later Fleetwood Mac song "Everywhere"

from their 1988 release "Tango In The Night:"

Here's a live version from 1987:

I made it a bit longer and more club friendly...

Next up is "Easy To Fall" by Bob Welch from his post Fleetwood Mac solo LP "French Kiss."

This LP has my favorite Bob Welch solo cut "Sentimental Lady":

Love that song....

However, I chose "Easy To Fall" because I felt like if I remixed it it would work on a dancefloor (I may do "Sentimental Lady" later, in the meantime you can find it as part of my 70's AM / FM tribute mix DJ4AM/FM Presents a ghostly 70's radio composite).

I gave it a major overhaul in arrangement, no disrespect, but I felt like the string parts were just to good not to exploit...word.

thanks and enjoy...
