I don't even know where to begin with this.
There are lots of of words like "hypocrites" and "closet fans" amongst others, floating around surrounding Michael's death. I was never a "closet" Michael fan, I've always openly praised his music all the time and I'm not trying to do the "cool thing" by making a big deal out of this.
I don't care much about hearing famous people die, it probably raises my eyebrow for a whole two seconds before i move on with my life. There's thousands of people dieing in Iran as we speak, poverty in Africa etc. etc. and that makes me sad everyday of my life and probably deserves more attention than any celebrity.
But to me, Michael was bigger than Elvis, bigger than the Beatles and bigger than Bob Dylan.
His music was such an integral and personal part of my childhood (and life in general), that i REALLY cannot help but be emotional about this.
His music was as big a deal in my childhood as pacman, WWF and Archie Comics. Heck, I even remember playing his video game "Moonwalker" on the sega mega drive system!
His music made me enthusiastic about music.
Sure, I havn't been listening to his music much lately and its unfortunate that his recent years have showed him as a "complete pyscho", and i myself am a bit guilty of making fun of him back when all the stories came out, but i know for a fact that none of its true and i refuse to believe the media in any way whatsoever, whether its about Michael or anything else. And it didnt make me respect his music any less.
But after this incident, the MOMENT i started listening to old MJ tracks i was immediately mentally transported back to my younger days and all the moments and memories that were attached to these songs. And they were so vivid, it felt like it was yesterday. It was almost like watching an old video tape of your 10th birthday for the first time in decades. I feel really weird saying this but, it almost felt like Michael was a part of my family. It also goes to show the power music can have, and if that isn't an inspiration to any musician, I really dont know what is. I can honestly say that no other legendary artist has had such a personal attachment to my life. No one.
I will always have an undying respect for Michael and there will never be another artist in the history of music as timeless as him as far as im concerned
R.I.P
About the mix:
Instead of just browsing through the internet for a bunch of remixed bootlegs and putting them together, I decided to make my own "mashups" by combining the original songs with house tracks. It's not exactly mind blowing, as mixing two genres is probably the hardest thing to do and ive NEVER done anything like this before, but hey its definitely different to anything else out there and it feels a bit more personal this way. Some of the tracks are, in a way, related to Michael. For example i can't think of a more appropriate lyric than in Calvin Harris' track when he sings "I can't do this anymore". Of course some of the tracks have nothing to do with him and are just part of the podcast as usual! Either way, hope you enjoy it =)
