Releasing the source for Making Me Nervous (still available here) has gone way, way better than I expected it to and I’m real happy about it all. I was feeling a bit blocked and down and it’s been a lot of fun seeing people experiment with my song and also getting a chance to do a bunch of it myself.

I’ll be putting the next song source online sometime this week (not sure which one yet, feel free to cast your vote). I’ve put up some discussion forums here if anyone wants to use them to yak about remix stuff.

To kick things off I’ve posted an unfinished remix of Making Me Nervous in there that I’m not sure I have time to finish. Feel free to give input, ideas, pick it up and do whatever with it. Or if you’re like a lot of people who have their own half-done remixes, feel free to post those.

Victor Stone from fourstones.net sent in this zany Making Me Nervous (Lox Mix). It has accordian!

Not sure what the story is on this Flash video for Come Together by The Beatles but it’s pretty damn awesome.

A Million Love Songs is a blog posting, I guess, a million love songs. Descriptions plus MP3s that stay around for seven days after the postings. Pretty awesome.

Scott Andrew sent in this Making Me Nervous (Sunken City Mix) which is quite cool. He says on his weblog:

I wanted to do something reminiscent of early 90′s industrial rock, a la Filter/Stabbing Westward/Gravity Kills. Most of the beats and sounds are stock samples that came with FruityLoops Studio, stretched and beatsliced beyond recognition (I’m too lazy (and inexperienced) to create my own loops). Except for the guitar; that was my Telecaster through a Fender Cyber-Twin (great studio amp, stupid name), sampled and converted to groove clips in Sonar.

Kick ass.

Fellow Magnatuner c. layne sent in the Making Me Nervous (c. layne Anasthetic Mix) which I think turned out really nicely.

15-16 puzzle did this Making Me Nervous WireCandyLips Remix (also possibly could be considered one of those trendy ‘mashup’ things). It’s pretty trippy.

Allen Henderson of Maedes Production is working on a video for my song Making Me Nervous and wants your face for it:

Some “Doom”-spoofed video segments will include virtual extras in the style of 3-D sprite animation. And they need faces! Get converted to pixels and then shot with a gun without having to put down your sandwich. Who could ask for more?

Send 2 digital portrait shots of your face, head-on and in profile, to production@maedes.com subject line: Making me Nervous Extras.

Beats 101 is a series of beat making videos with Domino of Hieroglyphics.

Online School Tour by the SampleKings also has some beat making videos over there.
