More Mashup Industries awesomeness

When we left our hero he had just found a new mash-up site, run by a DJ using the handle Clivester, whose own work is fab. Today I want to close out a few tabs from that site and encourage you to chase more of these guys:

Dan Mei - Divide It Right, bringing together the soft vocals of Nelly Furtado with the driving beats of Linkin Park (and yeah, a vocal scream or two). If this doesn't get you rocking in your seat you are probably dead, and I'm sorry.

Marc Johnce - Say It Cruel, a much more conventional dance-beat pairing Ace Of Base (heavily spliced) with Booty Love (or Booty Luv depending on where you look). The original track "Say It" is itself a remix. I found two version of the mix here: http://electrorash.com/new-diamond-cut/

DJ Schmolli - Drop It Like Black Sabbath. I know I've talked about DJ Schmolli before. If you Google him you'll get a trove of weird and fun mixes to paw through. This one takes another of those great metal icons - Sabbath - and mixes in some rap from Snoop Dogg and generally scary vocal stuff from Anton LaVey (founder of modern American Satanism, in case you didn't recognize the name: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anton_LaVey). Sabbath, like many of its contemporaries and imitators, made numerous Satanic references in its music and stage shows. The line from there to gangsta Snoop is not hard to draw.

What I do in my day job

A reasonably good article on why people are panicking about the wrong things with respect to high-frequency trading. I think he's a little naive (or deliberately obtuse) on the question of whether or not the big brokerage houses are front-running their own customers (I'd bet money they are) but otherwise it's a good posting.
