Just the Ticket

Good evening, Ticketholders and other members of my readership club! I am great! I am fucking awesome! I am the best fucking mashup artist in the history of the universe! Not even close. That was just me being ironically modest to get you ready for the latest offering in my Fort Modest mashup series. Like the first entry, this is a double-feature. Track 4: Bury Me With It the Hard Way * Modest Mouse - Dig Your Grave * Modest Mouse - Bury Me With It * Fort Minor - The Hard Way Track 5: Petrified In the Dance Hall * Modest Mouse - Dance Hall * Fort Minor - Petrified Enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_boMjnJq5A Stay tuned for more mashups and 'machining mayhem as another Elemental Witch comes your way in the next Witches Are Made . Need to be up to catch a bus in two hours so goodnight. Ticketsomniac, Out cold.

Tonight, I hit you with a little twist of fate by sharing with you my Elemental Witch of Fate. Last year, when I was designing the Clockwork characters, I took inspiration from a public domain Golden Age heroine called Lady Luck, and created an Old West gunfighter of the same name. Since the inception of my version of Lady Luck and the time-traveling Tempora, I have shown you Elemental Witches of Space (Alice Gladwell), Fire (Theodora Kindle), Water (Linda Norgood), and Metal (Farrah O'Ren). I intend to re-brand Lady Luck as the Elemental Witch of Luck, but in life we cannot have Luck without Fate. Name: Death Rose Alias: Destinee la Mort Team Affiliations: Coven du Sort, le Milieu, The Hit Squad Enemies: Lady Luck (I), Fifth Hour, Sextant, Coven of Adh Race: Human Birthplace: Derry, Ireland Powers/Abilities: Manipulation of probability and chance, Expert marksmanship, can predict (and sometimes cause or prevent) any person’s impending death, including her own.

Hope you're liking the remixes so far. I've got nothing clever to say right now, so just check this out because it's badass. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xh9BPz4Dv90 Ever wonder what Lil Wayne sounds like over "Back In Black?" Didn't know Jonathan Davis from Korn and Jim Root from Slipknot covered "Got Money?" Ever get the idea to blend Rihanna and Jay-Z into "Got Money?" Well, this remix has all that and a bag of bitchin'. So get clickin' y'all. I just finished another Elemental Witch character for my [Fill In the Blank] Are Made  column, so stay tuned for that coming up soon, as well as another Fort Modest Mashup Issue . As always, you can find the Skratch 'n' Sniff radio show on  iHeartRadio  Saturday nights from 11pm-1am. DJ Timedrop, the only nerd that remixes your interwebs, Timedropping out.

That's where I spent my day off today, just clicking my fingers, keys, and mouse buttons together and trying to make magic happen, and I was successful. I have completed two characters in the past three days (only one of which I will share with you here because the first character I finished would be a spoiler if I showed you now). I chose to name this post "No Place Like Home" because my latest character is an Elemental Witch based on Glinda of the North from The Wizard Of Oz . She has not yet been included in any contests (although my other character was entered into an Insect/Archnid/Crustacean-Inspired Characters Contest and failed to place in the polls despite the prevalence of less impressive designs), but I plan on using her in something soon, should the right contest open up. Here's Linda Norgood, alias Hidrea, the Elemental Witch of Water: Name: Hidrea Alias: Linda Norgood Team Affiliations: Coven of Tonnta, Atlantis (Irish/Atlantean dual citizenship) ...

DJ Timedrop here again to let you know that I put another Fort Modest mashup on YouTube just now. It's the second Fort Modest "video" I've posted so far, and I like where the album-in-progress is going. Check out "Ocean Breathes Salty Where You Go (feat. Holly Brook & Jonah Matranga)" by clicking the video or the link below. This remix uses the following songs: Fort Minor - "Where'd You Go? (feat. Holly Brook & Jonah Matranga)" Modest Mouse - "Ocean Breathes Salty" http://youtu.be/zsD8tKv5vjs As always, I hope you enjoy my work as much as I enjoy putting it out for you. Stay tuned as my Fort Modest series continues and prepare yourselves for the next Elemental Witch character from my Heromachine side project. I hope to have her ready for you in a few days' time. Until then, Tune in, Turn on, and Timedrop, out.

Cue the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Ticketholders, Soundtrackers, Heromachiners, and Mashuppers! I gladly welcome you to another Mashup Issue , where time gets dropped and the beats don't stop, and all those people that you know are about to "Float On" so they can make it all "Feel Like Home." If you haven't guessed yet, the Ticketmaster, a.k.a. The Blogger Formerly Known As SW@, a.k.a. DJ Timedrop, a.k.a. me, myself, and I, have been working on a whole album of mashups featuring the works of Modest Mouse and Fort Minor (that's Mike Shinoda, Styles of Beyond, John Legend, and a few other dope folks in the music biz). Like I've done for all of my mashups so far, I PhotoShopped together my own cover art for what is to this point a four-part "video" series, starting with this Fort Modest triple feature: 1) "Horn Intro" by The Dirty Dozen Brass Band 2) "The World At Large Feels Like Home" ----"The World At Large"...

It's been over two weeks since I posted anything on here or on HeroMachine (which has been having slowdown issues with their forum software, so posting on HM is impossible now anyway). But lack of inspiration and a temporarily deactivated forum have been the least of my problems lately. I was hospitalized for chest pain last week, which turned out to be something called myocarditis (inflammation of heart tissue brought on by some kind of virus). If I had let it go (read: if I had been physically and mentally capable of ignoring the most annoyingly, distractingly, infuriatingly painful pain I've ever experienced at one o'clock in the morning), it could have progressed into heart failure and killed me. But two dozen vital checks, a helicopter ride, a heart catheter, an MRI, a mind-numbing amount of bed rest, and four medications later, I am getting better. Speaking of heart problems, you may recall that my last two Villains Are Made  posts focused on Greta Holz, a woman-...
