Busking Cancer
I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to everyone that came, said hi and gave money to Helena and me for busking around Oxford town centre for Cancer Research as part of the last Busking Cancer week. In total we raised £85 which isn’t that bad for 4 1 hour slots and considering our short-ish repetoire.

Almost there now.
Just updated the TMCD1 (we are going to call it something different, can’t remember what now) playlist on Fairtilizer. Probably going to add 1, maybe 2 more songs (maybe including a cover) and then put the whole lot up for download and maybe make a few CDs too. Won’t that be nice?
Oh, there’s someting new on the remixes page as well. Hmmmm….
Erm…Happy 2009!
Hello. Let’s say this is the first PROPER POST of 2009 shall we? The last one was just me getting excited about the Watchmen film. Again. So how are you all? Doing well. That’s nice.
First of all a quick site update. I’ve recently had to move the blog to a slightly different bit of the internet and, shock horror, I now have to actually start paying for my webspace. I do want to say a HUGE THANK YOU to Sam Shelton who’s been hosting this site and the Toy #1 site for me pretty much since day 1. I have to say it is quite cool though to actually ‘own’ tigermendoza.co.uk now but’s that’s more geek-ery than anything else. Moving the site around has meant changing a couple of things behind the scenes so if you do spot any links not working or anything else weird please let me know.
As for new music, the start of 2009 was weird because once I got back from a brilliant holiday, I found it really difficult to create anything I thought was good and wanted to continue. I think I’m coming out of it now though and there’s a couple new things which need a little tweaking but should be ready very shortly (including a couple of new songs with Helena) and maybe even some gigs. We’ll see how it goes. I’ve also been thing of adding a mixtapeshow.net style regular podcast to the site but we’ll see.
Untill next time then, here’s something I started right at end of 2008 and tweaked today.
Perfect Love (Nine Inch Nails ‘Blend’)

Minimix
I’ve been listening to Annie Mac’s Mashup radio show for a little while now and generally the bit I’m waiting for is the minimix – 5mins where a DJ, producer or band make a musical collage of stuff that has influenced them or that they’re listening to at the moment. Here’s my go:
Tiger Mendoza – Minimix (v2)
Tracklisting:
Prodigy – No good (start the dance)
Primal Scream – Movin’ on up
Lion – Transformers theme
Pendulum – Propane nightmares
QOTSA – No-one knows (UNKLE remix)
Burial – Archangel
DJ Shadow – High noon
The Chemical Brothers – Setting Sun (Live version)
The Beatles – Tomorrow never knows
The Evenings – I Didn’t remember
Iggy Pop – Lust for life
NiN – Perfect Drug (Acapella)
Foo Fighters – Everlong
RHCP – Under the bridge
Kings of convenience – I don’t know what… (Mojib remix)
The Herbaliser – On your knees
Orbital & Kirk Hammett – Satan
Squarepusher – My Red hot car
David Holmes – Radio 7
Union of Knives – Opposite direction
The Knack – My Sharona
(update 02/11: Sorry, couldn’t resist making a couple of minor tweaks!)
“…can’t take it with yooooooouuuuuu…..”
Ahhh they’ve done it again. Radiohead have released ’stems’ for one of the tracks off of In Rainbows and I couldn’t resist having a go. Here’s my widget:
(Edit 21/10/08: Can’t be arsed taking part in the pop idol process anymore. Enjoy the download below.)
It was actually harder to remix this one than it was doing the Nude remix a while back even if this one is in 4/4. The structure isn’t as straight forward ya see, extra bars and stuff. This is actually my second attempt at it. I tried to be truer to the actual structure the first time and it just didn’t work. Ah, whatever – I like it!
Here’s a download for anyone that wants it:
Radiohead – Reckoner (Tiger mendoza remix 1)
Re-organisation
I thought I’d put some of files back up that were on the last version of the site but wanted to separate them out a bit. So, if you look over to the left you’ll see a link to ‘Music‘ and some of the bits and pieces I’ve put together on pages below it. There’s also the first version of a new Adele / 808 state bootleg on the bootlegs page for you to enjoy. May still need a bit a bit mre tweaking but ah well, it’s up now. I’ll re-jig it soon.
For some reason I’ve also signed up for the Orange unisigned act / pop idol type thing for a bit of a laugh. Not sure why but feel free to look at my rad new page.
Lastly howdy to anyone that’s arrived here from the GYBO forum, hope you like what you find.
ep0 + Toy #1 gig
The previously mentioned demo thing is now up to 5 tracks:
- Untitled 1
- Untitled 2
- No Heroes Left
- Wait for Tomorrow
- Take
Great isn’t it? Go here for more: www.toynumberone.co.uk
2 new songs
Here are 2 new songs that I’m not going to touch anymore otherwise I’ll end up ruining them.
>> No heroes
>> Wait For Tomorrow
There’s a couple more but they need vocals so will probably be another couple of weeks. Also, anyone noticed the way that MySpaz have started changing links? Also the wording at the end of their song upload script is quite interesting…
