I’m playing around with an idea. To document original versions of songs remixed at ccmixter for reference and to track back to the sample & pells.

I’ve just started. Let me know if this is something of interest to you. I have not decided if this is worth doing or not.

Thank you. : )

hey that’s really cool teru. i think it’s an awesome idea. i think sometimes the “source” artists get the short end of the stick, at least from an extended attribution standpoint. without the source artists, there would be no remixes and no ccmixter.

and i really like the idea of highlighting a particular track, maybe one that is really derivative or has had many different versions.

i think limiting it to complete “songs” is an easy way to do this, but i hope you might also consider even stuff like one of panu’s vocal tracks, or one of FHC3’s pella tracks, and show the many ways it can evolve into different things.

so yeah, i dig.

finally had a chance to check it out.

I think it’s a very cool idea. — I’ve always been fascinated by history and also by different versions of songs, even when there were only remakes, before the evolution of remixing.

Have you considered adding to each post the highest rated remixes as a widget? i.e. to make it easier to listen to the original AND the best remixes?

I think it’s a really neat idea. Anything at all that brings the enormity of this site down into a munchable meal is a great idea.

I remember fondly the moment when I realized that a remix wasn’t just taking the source stems and creating a rearrangement of them. What an epiphany!

So after you do all the full songs, and the cool pells you can turn your hand to all the spoken word stuff (laughs hysterically into the night…). I am seriously kidding and not serious at all. For real.

For all you do for this site, thanks Teru.
