Cloned “Love”

by Mark Forman on July 15, 2006

I've been geting all kinds of nice feedback from listeners on "Clone Music" show Yeaaaaaahhhhhh. Here is some cool CD ART from Michael  complete file here

This is commentary and alternate music list from Doug from The Beta Army 

Those of who subscribe to the feed will have gotten the special episode that is the "Getting a Leg Up" podcast, where J.C. Hutchins describes what music styles each of the clones listens to. Then Mark Forman put on songs that fit that style, and still fit into the context of the show. I thought I might share some of my music ideas that didn't need to fit into the context of the show.

John - Female vocals that can rock and also some folk. For the rock side of things, I thought of Curve, and Jem to a lesser extent. For the folk side of things, early Liz Phair (Exile in Guyville) and Mia Doi Todd.

Michael - Rock for workouts, classical for downtime. I couldn't come up with anything to original for this one. Maybe some stereotypical military rock like Disturbed and Godsmack. For classical, maybe some Beethoven and the Three Tenors.

Jack - Motown. Beyond the obvious James Brown and Temptation, he might get into some Gnarles Barkley.

Jonathan - World Music. Maybe some Think of One, Sulif Keita, and Buean Vista Social Club

Father Thomas - Headbanging rock, with possible spiritual influences. Maybe some Skillet, Pillar, and Kutless. Or if he got really heavy, some Demon Hunter and Zao, but I don't think he goes that far out.

Dr. Mike - Hispanic/California scene. Some Los Amigos Invisibles and Cafe Tacvbu.

Killroy 2.0 - Electronic. I know he said trance and such, but trance seems a little too upbeat for him. I see him more as a Aphex Twin and Squarepusher kind of guy than a Sasha and Digweed kind of guy. You also can't rule out that drum and bass goes very well with working on computers, so maybe some Roni Size thrown in there.

John Alpha - Anything with screams. Going with that, I thought Bloodsimple, Ministry, and possibly some Nine Inch Nails. But any good evil genius with aspirations for world domination needs to listen to some Sinatra.

Any thoughts?

    Awesome cover. Noticed the use of 7 seven's to make a seven. Brillant.

    Thank you, gentlemen. That was fun. And I'm thanking JCH for introducing me to Getting a Leg Up!

    Which reminds me, sir: have you a FAQ section? Such as --

    - What brought you to Taiwan in the first place? I'd be curious to hear about your "day job."

    - How often do you get back to the US? (I notice you're doing an interview in South Africa; you must get around!)

    - For those of us (okay, me) who don't recognize it as a technical term: Does "getting a leg up" have to do with music? or with being better prepared to deal with free culture? or was it "just for the halibut"?

    Anyway, the "What Are Your Clones Listening To?" show was a delight, especially the electronica and "world music." I've been a fan of electronica since the 1967 Montreal World's Fair, but "world music" is a category I'm definitely gonna have to check out.

    Just saw the notes for your interview with Bazooka Joe, and it appears I'll be getting my answers.

    Hey Michael,
    Thanks for stopping by and for listening. You'll get answers for all those questions on interview.

    One clarification-MoShang is from South Africa but like me is living in Taichung,Taiwan. His music is good chill out/down tempo. I think you'll enjoy it. We are running contest with 2 more cds to give away. See details at MoShang interview post.
