Instamatic's Greatest Misses : a restrospective (and a few DjNoNo rarities too)

[fingertrouble]

(reposted from my Instamatic Artist blog)

A lot of my old boots/mashups haven't been online for years - most people don't know I've created something like 50+ mashups as Instamatic since 2003, more as DJNoNo and as tbc and various aliases...there have been quite a few mashups 'retrospectives' recently, and the odd request to find various tracks so here is my Greatest Misses...tracks that fell down the cracks!

Also a few tracks such as the Jump megamix (Jump x2 and Renegade Trouble) and the Too Many Egos haven't been properly released before.

Also includes my first released mashup - FSOL vs Peaches, and the first DJNoNo boot, so you can see how far little I've developed...I did think 'shall I redo some of these?' or fix some of the mistakes I can hear now - I thought not since I hate that when say bands re-release 'tweaked' or 'improved' versions of old songs. Publish and be damned!

Thanks to RevMenagerie who requested my Negativland / String Quartet mashup...

NOTE: Some of these tunes are severely NSFW - especially FCUKK Fashion...

and from the DJNoNo canon, a few rarities:

1. I Love Happy Hardcore (Fuck Happy) - first DJNoNo boot, done for a Happy Hardcore competition where mrNo shows how much he likes Happy Hardcore...
2. Too Many Egos - full version (various based on the odd acapella version of EgoRocker and a pisstake of several Ego-Rocker boots - a short 70s version that eventually appeared on Marty Batfreak's 100 mix)
3. Em is a Naggin Fly (Crossover vs Eminem vs Roy Orbison - pisstake of Eminem boots and mrNo trying to prove Bush No.10 wrong when he said Eminem boots now didn't work. Did thaNo succeed? Erm, pass...)
