I'm making another one of those "define yourself" CDR-length MP3 compilations, and the first two tracks are gonna be Bow Wow Wow's "c30 c60 c90 Go!" and Van Halen's "Hot For Teacher". (The drums are U&K.) What song-to-song segues have you concocted that you've wound up stupidly proud of, regardless of how obvious they might be?

"Life of Pain" - Black Flag --> "I Can Never Go Home Anymore" - The Shangri-Las sticks in my mind. In the good way, honest!

On a mix CD I made recently, I had the recording of postal workers canceling stamps at the University of Ghana post office segue hard into the Spinanes' "Spitfire." They have precisely the same timbre and tempo. I was very proud of myself.

All-time classic Douglas mix-tape segue = Värttinä's "Katariina" into Bloody Fist's "Cock Sucker."

The Normal's "Warm Leatherette" into Pat Martino's "Lazy Bird" -- try it, you'll like it.

Paula Abdul "Vibeology" --> !!! "Me & Giuliani" --> Old Time Relijun Mystery Language. Beatmatched and everything.

Sleater-Kinney's "I Don't Wanna" badly stamped on by Turbonegro's "I Got Erection"

Motorhead "Metropolis" live at Hammersmith, a bit of applause cut straight into My Bloody Valentine's "No More Sorry". Sounded amazing every time I heard it.

from the Radiophonic blurbles of John Baker's Tommorow's World int othe stupid great disco strut of the Commodore's Machine Gun really really works for me...

for once, i can't think of a single one i've done that made me really proud, although there have been several. i don't think my brain's fully on today. :O

however, a friend put together a mix CD which featured a couple of absolutely brilliant segues...the second of which was from Momus' "Pygmalism" >>> Pizzicato Five's "K-I-S-S," beatmatched perfectly. ^^

Thomas Mapfumo's "Zvandiviringa" into Xtina'a "Come on Over"

three months pass...
no beatmatching, but the mood fits
Deadly Avenger "Skit II" > Echo & The Bunnymen "The Killing Moon"
