Hello!

New instance, new pinned intro:

I go by Croc as the name suggests. Formerly on Twitter I used microdile, for reasons not worth going into.

Grew up in the '80s and I have infinite nostalgia for it's music, movies and pop culture.

Love physical media and own over 4000 CDs, 500 vinyls and 500 blu-rays.

Been remixing and DJing for about 25 years as AudioDile, and in furry for almost 30.

Enjoy writing and have a blog at crocumentary.com.

Expect lots of fursuits, wit and introspection!

@croc longtime listener and fan of your #mashups. Glad to find you here on Mastadon! (Thanks to a little help from @djsqwrl )

@pdsmix @djsqwrl

Hey! It's always great to meet fellow music lovers, especially when they like my stuff, which I should do more of haha.

There's actually a few things I've done that are hard to find or not available on the internet. I should make a list.

Also thanks @djsqwrl for the plug!

@croc I would def love some links to stuff not currently available on your website! Also, I have a burning question about your track “More Werewolves Of London”. Did you make that in 2006? And did Kid Rock (and crew) capitalize on your idea in 2008 without attribution? Would love to know more, as I don’t have all the facts.

@pdsmix

2006 sounds right. Back when GYBO was booming.

As for Kid Rock, who knows.. anyone who listens to both songs can hear the similarities and I'm not sure I was the first to do it, just the first time I'd seen it done. It made me roll my eyes a little when I first heard it, but if he'd also borrowed one of the other tracks in my mashup that would be pretty obvious.

I'm not really a Kid Rock fan for various reasons, but it is what it is. Just glad to have made something people enjoy.

@croc and yes, your version is the first I heard, was a bit of a shock to hear it on radio two years later. Yours is very enjoyable and preferable, IMO. The story I’ve gleaned from the other side is that Kid Rock’s DJ at the time, Mike E Clark, made the mashup and Kid Rock didn’t like it; later taking the exact same idea, using it and not crediting Mike E Clark. So, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it is what it is.

@pdsmix That figures, LOL.

Here's a screenshot of all the mashups I've done to date. Does not include remixes.

@croc so much here I currently don’t have. Please let me know where I might procure. I do have a track called “Raccoon Leg” that isn’t on this list but attributed to you. This is yours, yes?

@pdsmix

Raccoon Legs is one of the earliest things I ever did. It's kind of a piss take, The Raccoon Song is a very flat novelty song and I threw Art of Noise on it just for kicks and was amused enough to save.

I could redo it properly, but the demand isn't exactly high, haha.

@croc as someone who made this, I’m always down for a novelty mashup. (Remix.audio is back online, musta been a blip) https://remix.audio/track/45903/fish-heads-will-roll-blue-like-a-hole-barnes-amp-barnes-vs-yeah-yeah-yeahs-vs-nin-vs-new-order

@pdsmix

LOL. This is wild. I did NOT expect to ever hear a dance mix of Fish Heads, especially this one.

You're a maniac in the best way.

@croc I love to get weird, for sure. I also make some more straightforward mashups, but I really enjoy making stuff that melts people’s head. Here’s a style I don’t normally do, but was part of a community mix I participated in. I liked the audio so much I made a video for it. (And honestly I think it works better as a video, but it took a lot of time.) https://youtu.be/3qnWATZeXmE?si=Mllt_Lax64jzCFPD
