This is the last Mashstix Alternative Show. I like to personally thank G3RST for the amazing job he's done with the show (don't worry he's not leaving the team)
There is some good news with the bad however, as The Radio Stix Show will be back in full swing with a whole new crew... keep your eyes peeled! - Paul Stix
Great jinky jiggy tune. Couldn't help bobbing about in my seat, and had to take this off the headphones and onto the system and turn it up. Great fun, nice and happy.
When i first saw i had a Ting Ting tune to review i was a bit disturbed, there's so many boots done using that tune, but then i saw you'd used the mental and this made me happy. Then i saw it was with Billy Idol and i got happier. And then i listened to it and got even more happier.
I was very happy.
A really nice pop bootleg, spot on pairing and tune selection Frog. I like the structure too - makes nice use of the Tings Tings track.
Cons:
At 1:09 when the guitar comes in it's really quiet compared to the rest of the music - what was the quality of the mental you used?
From 2:30 onwards it gets very top heavy - you could defo have brought the treble down a bit there to take the edge off. And the vocals get drowned out - are they meant to be fading or listenable? Sounds a bit undecided.
Generally it doesn't sound too crisp
Tips:
For Frogg - I think it could do with some eq'ing to help the vocals sit a bit better, and perhaps bringing them up in the mix a tad. It's very mental heavy at the moment and i want to hear Billy owning the track like he would.
Some extra production / mastering to help it punch through the speakers would have helped a bit. But that said, i still grabbed download :)
For everyone else - listen to this and then download it and then play it at parties.
I love the fact that you've got Patsy Cline into a mash up, not that many others have done it! This tune has masses of potential bit, to my ears, still needs some work. I like the vocal interaction eg. @ 1:20! The timing seems to be good and there are just a couple of little clashy bits but this could be a real contender with a little more concentration, the kind of tune I, for one, would love.
Cons:
I'm not sure if the pella is home-made (if it is, props on that!) but it still sounds a bit dirty and Patsy's voice a little too quiet in the mix.
Tips:
Revisit the pella again and see if you can clean it up some more, then bring Patsy's vocal to the front a little more. Nice work thus far mate!
