From 12.02.12 as webcast on Plundercast and DFM out of Amsterdam - This is a 3-hour Jimi Hendrix fest comprised of mashups, collages, songs, covers and some comedy of, by, and about Jimi Hendrix who would have been 70 the week this was webcast. Pieces from Midnight Voicejail, and by NCN and Negativland. Covers by Axiom Funk, Tori, Frank Zappa, Devo, Amos and G3, amongst others. Also work by The Kleptones, DJ Rok, Wax Audio, Loo and Placido, PHeugoo, DJ Moule, DJ Magnet, DJ le Clown, DJ Lobsterdust, many others. 128kbps 3 hour mix.

This is a re-edited, re-mastering of our 2008 biographical tribute to the life and music of Freddie Mercury of the musical group Queen. The story is augmented and populated with mods, mashups, remixes, covers, deconstructions, effects, etc. of Queen's music. More of a linear narrative in its structure than usual NCN programs, but still told somewhat out of sequence, this program examines Mercury's life from his childhood in Zanzibar, to the start of his career as an iconic rock star in the U.S., to his tragic death from AIDS in late 1991. This is a very heartfelt celebration of a man whom we never met but greatly admire and love, as did countless others all over the world. His music shall live on. This program was webcast, in this re-mastered form, on Plundercast and DFM on 11/25/2012.

We kind of lost track of some of the ultimate sources here but they are mostly from the 'Texas Chainsaw Mashacre 2' collection of Halloween mashups as well as Rifftrax. We hope this will serve as a whetting of the appetite to listeners and turn a lot of people onto Rifftrax and the fine work they do at www.rifftrax.com. We love them! 128kbps - 3 hours.

This was webcast on October 21, 2012 and borrows a lot from recent Halloween Mashups (2012) and some from years past like 'The Texas Chainsaw Mashacre'. Also included in the 3rd hour is most of Pop Defect Radio's 'Doomsday 2012' mix. The end though is a bit different as we have substituted our mix of Johnny Cash's 'When The Man Comes Around' and Tool's Ænima from the 'End of Time' program. See the links associated with this program's listing in the archives section of the NCN site. 128kbps 3 hour show.
