The Tiger Mendoza Blog

A while back I did a remix / re-version of a song by my old band Toy #1 called Atari Joystick. Dan from the band asked me if I still had it but somehow I’ve managed to lose the final mp3 and the source files so here’s the 2008 redux version.

TM vs TOY #1 - Atari Joystick (TM 2008 redux v2)

Edit 27/12: I managed to find the original remix:
TM vs TOY #1 - Atari Joystick (TM remix)

Let me know which one you prefer. If I can find a good copy of a Toy #1 version of Atari Joystick I’ll post that as well.

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

(update 02/11: Sorry, couldn’t resist making a couple of minor tweaks!)

When I first heard about this Radiohead remix I thought that I wouldn’t go anywhere near it what with it being one of my favourite sngs from In Rainbows. But ah well, who could resist messing around with Radiohead seperates eh? Here’s my widget:

And because I had to post quite a lo-res version on the site, here’s a better quality one:
Radiohead - Nude [TM remix]

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…

I don’t know why I haven’t posted this on here sooner but here’s my take on Ryan Adams’ version of Wonderwall:

>> Tiger Mendoza vs Ryan Adams - Wonderwall

It’s kind of a dark indusrial hip hop take version which I thought came together nicely after messing around with Ableton Live

Also I’ve done a remix for Oxford Band Hammer vs The Snake which also came out pretty well so here it is:

>> Hammer vs The Snake - Blame (Tiger Mendoza Remix)

As far as I know they like it and it may be going out on an e.p. they’re putting together soon but that hasn’t been confirmed yet. Cheers to the band for letting a complete stranger mess around with their song.
I’ve also been messing around with my 4-track, my new guitar and Mr. Sean Mills on some completly stripped down acoustic stuff. When I’ve finished it, I’ll probably stick it up on here as well but I’ll save that for another time….
