DJ N-Wee (Jay-Z vs. Pavement) - The Slack Album (2004)

Genre: mash up
Country of origin: US

4.5/5
Yesterday I got this comment on an old DJ N-Wee post.

Hey, this is "dj n-wee," the guy who did this album. Thanks so much for posting this last year... Godaddy sold my domain out from under me to a spam-squatter in spring '06, so I'm glad that it was still available somewhere. I've recently put up an online album stream and downloads to higher quality MP3 and FLAC versions, along with all the original track writeups, etc. If anyone else comes across this post and still wants this thing, you might also want to pay a visit to theslackalbum dot lossfoundation dot com... Godaddy can't take that one away from me! Cheers.

So I decided to do another upload hoping to give him some more exposure he deserves.

One of the most eccentric mash up albums I've heard, and as far as I know, this is one of the earliest mash up of its kind. I think after this one was released more derived works from others have been released. The Slack Album is a mash up of Jay Z's The Black Album and Pavement's Slanted and Enchanted.

Today is Mother's Day

2008-05-11T19:32:00.002-04:00

May 11th is Mother's Day in North America (I am not sure about the rest of the world). Everyday should be treated like Mother's Day, but we bastards often don't do that. So make an effort today. Tell her that you love her. Give her a kiss. Make her a card. If you live far away from her like me, give her a call. Nothing we do will make up for what mothers have done for us, but we should at least make an effort, right?

I've been sick

2008-04-08T22:17:00.004-04:00

Sorry for the absence. For last three days, I spent most of my day aching in bed. Perhaps it's a well-deserved punishment for staring My Bloody Valentine spoof. I am not in perfect condition yet. I also have several exams coming up in a few days. Losing three days is bad enough. I don't think I have any room to partition my time to upload anything new for next few days. I suggest, the visitors check out some older uploads on the blog until I come back. I think most links are still active as long as they are not too old.

There is no new MBV EP. This was an April Fool's joke.

Canadians ironically are not from Canada. They are from Italy. A Sky With No Stars is Canadians' debut album. The album has some tracks from their old self-titled EP which is now unavailable. If you listen hard enough, you can hear peculiar Italian accent. I love foreign accents.

This is a little triumph. The music is highly experimental, yet accessible. I don't understand anything she says in Japanese, but it only deepens the awe. Progression is calm and down-tempoed, and reaches climax just in time everytime. Eternal Castle is truly intoxicating.
