Electric Larry Land: Munson Mixes

As you know, I'm all about the Munson Mixes...basically taking old Munson highlights and laying his voice over different songs. Last month, Russ Loyd sent us some AC/DC, James Brown and Warren Zevon Munson Mixes.

This month, he's sent us some more links. It's all part of a series he calls "Electric Larry Land." This set includes:

  • Shut Your Mouth and Get on the Plane - Drive By Truckers. I give this one 5 Stars. It's a Terry Hoage tribute of sorts with more Munson clips than the ones we linked to last month.

  • Been Caught Stealing - Jane's Addiction. This one mixes in clips of Pollack's strip of Corey Jenkins in the 2002 South Carolina game.

  • sUGAr, sUGAr - Wilson Pickett. The ending of the 1982 Auburn game. Look at the sugar falling from the sky.
Good tailgate tracks.

Larry Munson still expected to call home games


Image: OnlineAthens.com

The Athens Banner Herald has good news tonight. They talked with UGA and WSB officials, and all are anticipating Larry Munson calling Georgia Bulldog home games this year.

GATA Larry. With a season as special as this one could be, Larry needs to call as much of the action as his health will allow.

Munson Mixes: Electric Larry Land

As you know, I'm all about the Munson Mixes. Taking old Munson highlights and laying his voice over different rock cuts. Over the years, I've put together about 20 or so that (I think) make good tailgate tunes.

Russ Loyd has posted some mixes that he made. It's part of a series that he calls "Electric Larry Land." Among his classic rock cuts:Basically, he lays Munson over the beginning instead of splicing all over the place. It makes for nice transition between songs during a game day tailgate.

Munson Mix: Willie Nelson Double

Two Munson Mixes today. The first is Willie Nelson's Whiskey River followed by Willie's Stay a Little Longer. Both are from the same late 70s live concert album. If you put them on a CD for game day listening, they have a natural segue from Whiskey River to Stay a Little Longer.

Munson Mix of the Day: James Brown "Dr. Feelgood"

I first heard the original version of this song on 96 Rock's "Weekend Whistle" about 15 years ago. I was blown away by it, but it took me another 8 years or so to actually find a copy of it.

This was one of the first Munson Mixes I put together around 2000 or so. I should probably either redo this one or turn it into a video.

Munson Mixes Now Available for Download

By popular demand, I finally uploaded all of my mixes. At least I think that's all of them. As my Christmas present to my readers, I'm putting this download / listening site up.

My Munson Mixes include:What's a Munson Mix you ask? Well...click one of those links and listen. Basically,I took old Munson highlights and dubbed them over old songs. Some are better than others. I haven't done a new one since 2004; although, that could be changing pretty quickly. ;-)

Enjoy because I may have to take the site down soon.

Oh...and seriously...a HUGE thank you to everyone who purchased tickets or bought merchandise from our affiliates and sponsors. This site takes up a ton of time, and it helps justify the efforts when you guys take care of the people who take care of us. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Munson Mix Juke Box: The New Blog Feature

Well...finally! With help from Kit and the DawgGoneBlog I finally have implemented a juke box feature that allows me to upload my Munson Mixes to the blog. By the way, check out Kit's blog. He has his own Mixes on his JukeBox. I'm partial to his version of WolfMother's Woman.

You'll find the jukebox over on the left just below the Site Feed.

The current play list:
    1. Hard to Handle (Black Crows) - Highlights from the '03 season including Sean Jones' fumble return, Odell's INT return and I think some clips from the GT game.

    2. Where the Streets Have No Name (U2) - Personally, I think this is my best mix. The three main clips are UF '80, AU '92 and the early 70s UT game that I can never remember the year.

    3. Song 2 (Blur) - I call this the Clemson Killer mix. It has several great Munson lines from the '91 night game against the Tigers. It also has Butler's kick in the upset over #2 ranked CU in '82.

    4. Back in Black (AC/DC) - UT '80, LSU '99, UF '97, UT '00 and AU '96. This was one of my first mixes back so it's a little shaky. I lacked a thematic focus. lol.

    5. Paranoid (Sabbath) - SC '92 (that's Zeier to Graham), UT '00, and UT '88. This one ain't much better than Back in Black.

    6. Battle Hymn (Redcoats) - I'm not even sure I did this one. It could be from "DrewDog" or Talldawg. Drew was the first guy back on the old Napster to do any of these Mixes, and TallDawg is really good at this as well.

    7. Root Down / Sabotage (Beastie Boys) - This one has some explicit lyrics. I've always like this one because it starts with Catfish Smith talking smack about the 1929 Yale Game. Yeah, that's right. Old Man Smack. At the transition between the songs, it also has Wally Butts talking about Form Tackling. You know, our current Dawgs could use the same pep talk. Other clips include the game Between the Hoses ('86 AU), AU '96 (I think), UT '00, UF '97, GT '01, It could've used more Munson clips.

    8. Whiskey River (Willie Nelson) - This one actually does have a theme. It's just Munson railing on about obnoxious / drunken fans. UF '97, UK '78, UT '00 and UF '80.

    9. Stay a Little Longer (Willie Nelson) - Both Whiskey River and Stay a Little Longer were adapted from the same Live album. So one naturally follows the other. It starts with GT '71 (I think) with Poulous (sp?) scoring a late TD. It also has the Terry Hoage highlight reel from Vandy '83. Bonus: '78 LSU.
I'll upload more later.

The Technology:

I used technology from PodBean.com to make the jukebox. The end product seems to work pretty well, and it doesn't look like it hampers site performance. The front page already loaded sort of slow, but it doesn't seem to be loading any slower. If you disagree with me on the site's performance, then PLEASE let me know. I'll ditch the technology before I slow the site way down.

So far, I can recommend the end product, but the admin side of their application is a pile of crap. It's the least user friendly and least navigable site I've tinkered with in a very long time.

PS -- As for file sharing...As of right now, no. I'm not going to email you the MP3s. Sorry, but that's a large logistical hassle. And I'm not comfortable sharing URL for the Mix's other home base. It's jukebox only functionality for now.

Video: Battle Hymn by Father Tom Vaughn

Fans of WABE's Jazz Classics will love this. If you've never heard of Father Tom Vaughn, but you're a Dawg fan...you'll still love this tune. Some old '80s videos combined with a very old tune.

Background on the Song:
For 20+ years, H. Johnson of WABE 90.1 FM Atlanta has hosted "Jazz Classics" from 9:00 pm - 2:00 am on Saturday. Every Saturday at exactly 9:00 pm, he begins his show with Father Tom Vaughn's rendition of Battle Hymn.

In July of last year, I asked if any of our readers could send me a copy of Vaughn's version of Battle Hymn. In December, a man claiming to be Vaughn's son commented on the thread to thank us for talking about his dad, and to say that a digital version of his father's work would be for sale in the future.

In late January, an Auburn fan sent me a copy of the song via email. So I took some old Munson Video highlights and paired them up with this track. I'll probably redo the video at some point without the Munson voice over. But I liked it so much that I wanted to go ahead and share it, now.
