So for anyone that follows radiohead, they are currently holding a Radiohead Remix competition on Radioheadremix.com.

Here is my submission- I'll take it down at a certain point, as it is not technically supposed to be published anywhere else but their own site. Still, thought some of you would care for a listen.

See if you can guess at my source material. The song stems used are from "Reckoner."

Reckoner Remix -- I'm having an issue with Logic, so the music starts 18 seconds in... [Wink]

Downloading....

Pretty awesome stuff. I love how you lay Thom Yorke's voice over itself in several places -- it sounds great. This might get onto my mp3 player.

Are you familiar with the track 'Talk About The Blues (Saints and Sinners Remix)' by Jon Spencer Blues Explosion? I'm recommending it. Something vaguely (very vaguely) along the same lines as you're doing here. But meaningless and bombastic. It's a lot of fun to listen to.

Good job with this.

If you could find the time to remix Lewis (Mistreated) You could upload it and I'd download in my pants. No seriously, I'd worship you for at least a day.

As for the song you did remix, I like it quite a bit.

Well, I'd need the stems in order to do a remix that didn't sound like a version of the original that was put down a garbage disposal. It's kind of like making spaghetti- you can use the sauce out of the can, or make your own out of tomatoes and onions, but you shouldn't try to take the onions out of the canned stuff.

I got the stems, but I haven't been able to settle on what exactly I want to do with them. I'm definitely going to miss the contest deadline, which is too bad.

Listening to your remix now. Cool stuff.

The contest isn't exactly any great shakes anyway. They're just fishing for talented sound engineers I imagine- I'm always hoping for that call from Thom Yorke to tell me "you're in!"
