The magic of the blogisphere:
Moondabor discovers a mashup remix of Eminem’s “Without Me” with the Benny Hill theme. This enlightens those of us in #ctc to the point of wanting to piss ourselves. Many people just put it on loop and listen to it for multiple hours straight.
Mairu puts the MP3 online as part of his attempt to run a conglomerate website.
Elsewhere, Kim has been feeling serious pain as she has multiple teeth break and, upon a three hour check from the dentist, finds out she’ll need two root canals, two crowns, a number of fillings, and a cleaning. Ouch.
So what happens when we connect these two unrelated trends in an attempt to cheer poor Kim up? I quote the girl exactly:
“HAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHA. ow, i can’t open my that wide. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH WHO CARES! GOLD!! GOLD I SAY!!”
Lesson: No matter what sort of pain you’re in, nothing will cure it faster than by listening to the Benny Hill theme.

I’d just like to mention how unbelievably irritating it is to download 700 megs of data in multiple pieces and then discover there’s about a kilobyte missing from the BEGINNING of each file, thus rendering all 700 megs completely useless.

So MAX2 just shipped in Japan, and people are probably wondering about the 3 new remixes. Here’s some reviews.
Look To The Sky Trance Remix
At first listen, I said “This is just the old version with a new instrument on top of it”. Giving it a second listen, it’s a little more than that, but it still feels like a middle of the road remix. Thumbs in the middle.
Do It Right 80’s Electro Mix
I’ve been on a little Electro kick as of late, and this certainly keeps me going in that direction. Sounds almost completely different from the old version, save the vocals obviously. Not COMPLETELY electro, but electro enough! Definitely thumbs up.
Kind Lady Interlude
Starts off like it could be a great disco Daft Punk-ish remix. Then it turns into a sort of half mix between the Rough Instrumental from V-Rare 1 and the original. Does nothing for me. Thumbs down.
