National Cynical Network Archives

A mix made up mostly of various novelty songs about Christmas. We put this together in 2011, anticipating the End of the World before Christmas, 2012, but it never got put up, until now... Also played on December 22nd, 2013 on DFM (out of Amsterdam) and Plundercast. Has a 'creepy Christmas' set as well a many Bob Rivers parodies. Includes some weird ones like Mom And Daddy's 'O Holy Night' and some more traditional stuff as well. 3-hour show. Full content listing in ID3 tags of the mp3.

This program was put together in 2009 and originally webcast post-holiday on 12/27/2009. A lot of these tracks can be found in the mash-up albums 'A Very Bootie Xmas' and 'A Very Bootie Xmas 2' which can probably be found on the web. Other material includes stuff from the great Bob Rivers, Scooter (from Innerside Radio), Dr. John, The Bran Flakes and a portion that's a tribute to our Jewish Friends called 'Hebrewphilia'. 128kbps 79 min.

We wanted to get this out early, so people could play it during the Christmas season. This is the (mostly) new and (in part) NSFW Christmas show by NCN for 2010, complete as it was webcast on 12/19/10. Mostly new pieces, some of which are from the mashup download 'Santastic V - Snow, Man!', some are from Otis Fodder's offering on the WFMU blog, a few are from previous NCN Christmas shows. Includes material and songs from DJ BC, NCN, Jimmy Mitchell, Go Home Productions, Voicedude, DJ Topcat, Corporal Blossom, Cheekyboy, Divide and Kreate, Lionel Vinyl, Mojochronic, King of Pants, Pomplamoose, DJ Flack, DJ Earlybird, A Pluse D, DJ Schmolli, The Ramones, Oscar the Grouch, Rise Against, Ren 'n' Stimpy, 2 Live Jews, Neil Innes, Payroll, Smash-Up Derby, Scooter.

Part 1 of 2: A pastiche of different collages, mashups and novelty songs about the holiday, including some straight up traditional favorites. A lot of these are from a cynical, tasteless or twisted perspective (some NSFW). Includes a set on fed-up Santas and spoofs on Xmas as seen by other faiths. Originally broadcast, Christmas 2007 on plundercast.net.

Webcast on November 6th, 2016 right before Election Day eve. This is is a more fully and further developed mix we did a couple weeks before, in the virtual Second Life environment, and on DFM out of Amsterdam and on our stream. This is a round-up collection of (mostly humorous) remixes, mashups, collages, 'Trumpstep' (one could say) interpretations (heavy on the much more sample-able Trump in the treatment here), also protest songs, but probably mostly homemade audio mixes, and works, that creatively came out of the 2016 Presidential Election season from the public at large all under one roof for the first time. This is what we consider to be the 'best' efforts of the political season offered here for the purpose of criticism, commentary, posterity, satire and the hope of capturing the zeitgeist of this politically-charged time in U.S. history. - 2hrs. 50 min.

From a show done for 'Crack of Dawn' on October 7th, 2016 at KPFA in Berkeley with Puzzling Evidence (Doug Wellman) and Dr. Hal (Harry S. Robins) in the studio. With remixes of humorous religious pieces as well as remixed excerpts from the 1963 LP "Famous Monsters Speak!" this mix of mixes includes long, dense spooky Halloween-worthy sequences, take-offs on cults, "God(s)" and religious dogma, as well as political material including at least a couple of post-added Donald Trump remixes (the Trump-centric 'PussyGate' scandal erupted the day after the program was broadcast). This program has been re-worked since the original broadcast version and is a 'Narco Mix' of the program. With work by Unforgiven, Placeboing, Mad Genius, Contemporary Casuals, Matt McCorkle, and Solar Wimp amongst others. - A nearly 5 hour show in all.
