Sam Ulano is out of control on this track - why I love it!Ĥ.) This mash led off my 2005 Christmas comp - it stunned many of the long time recipients (achieving the effect I wanted).
he must have A.D.D.!Ģ.) S-A-N-T-A, C-L-A-U-S, Hooray for Santa Claus! Any song from the 1964 film " Santa Claus Conquers The Martians" is welcome here!ģ.) Proof positive that Santa is addicted to crystal meth. And cassettes a decade prior were sent out as well.ĥ.) What other projects/websites do you work on other than Christmas?Ħ.) Anything you would like to share with people reading this review?ġ.) Title says it all. Holiday Freakout in 2002 was never put online and instead I pressed 100 2-CD sets and sent them out as Holiday cards. Little to none for Holiday Freakin last December, as this was the first Holiday mix to be put online. But instrumentals along the lines of Ethel Smith at her organ are always welcome any time of the year.Ĥ.) What kind of feedback do you get from the comp? Not all songs of course as too much would, sorry to say, drive me completely nuts. I actually prefer to listen to no Christmas music around the holidays and play it throughout the year revolving in my iTunes. G) Encode WAV files with (win)LAME (for nogap encoding)ģ.) What is it about Christmas music that appeals to you? Minimal, as neededĮ) Throw them one by one into the multitrack and Edit/Trim files as needed After that followed Christmas music on radio shows and then in 2002 I made my first Holiday Compilation on CD-R in 2002, Holiday Freakout.Ģ.) Explain the process on creating your Christmas comp.Ī) Gather songs and shorts from CD, Vinyl, MP3, TapeĬ) Record Vinyl and Tape (or open MP3s) using Cool Edit (Adobe Audition)ĭ) Normalize/Volume/EQ. The first compilations were on (60 and 90 minute) cassettes in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The links are still active so while you're downloading, here are Otis' answers to the standard set of questions that I will be asking everyone whose comp will be reviewed here:ġ.) When did you begin creating your Christmas compilations? Such was the case last December when Otis presented these comps as his Christmas gift to the world. If that wasn't enough (and proof that sleep is overrated), Otis also has his own website running where more Internet goodies can be found.
Watch as over the next ten years, the huge record companies will take a cue from Otis and strictly offer their music online - CDs will go the way of the 8-track.
DR DEMENTO CHRISTMAS CD SANTA CLAUS BREAKS ALL THE LAWS FREE
He's the director of Comfort Stand Recordings - one of the first Internet record labels offering free music to the discerning ear. Every new calendar day brought an obscure or rescued MP3 offered to the public. Otis has been involved in more online projects than I can count and has worn more hats than Kevin Smith during the filming of " Clerks".įodder was the main person behind the groundbreaking "365 Days" project in 2003. You know him, you love him - the one & only Otis Fodder. Their post of December 15th informed me "one of the Grand Poobahs of maniacal music" had just issued a holiday compilation. One said search brought me to a blog entitled Music For Maniacs. This week, we'll be looking at Christmas comps found online during the 2006 Christmas downloading season.ĭuring that magical time last Thanksgiving to Christmas Day, I surfed many sites and blogs looking for anything Christmas related. Last week, we spent looking at various comps sent to us via our P.O.
Welcome to week four of our two month look at Christmas comps.
