Rudy Giuliani 9/11 Remix Contest (mp3)

UPDATE: There are three, count 'em, three winners in the Rudy Remix Contest! My own choice is Mr. Fab for his Wake Me Up When September 11 Ends (MP3).  I also opened up voting on my last Wednesday morning slot, and the listener's votes were tied between two very excellent entries, Miguelito Contraband's Gold Plated 9-11 Diapers, and Gary Lambert's Revolution No 9/11. All will receive a personalized WFMU crate ' swag. Thanks to everybody else who submitted so many great tracks!

Here's over two minutes of wall to wall September Eleventh's, courtesy of America's mayor. Your mission: turn some or all of them into music, to be reposted here. The best one received by December 5th wins a WFMU Messenger Bag full of CDs and other assorted swag. (I edited this version from a video collage made by Ben Craw of talkingpointsmemo.com)

Send your submissions to me at ken at wfmu dot org, but if they are larger than 8 megs, please post them somewhere and send me the URL. I will post all submissions here.

There are two versions for you to choose from, an MP3 and an uncompressed WAV file. The audio on both files are identical. Have Fun! And don't forget - September Eleventh.

UPDATE 1: Here's our first round of submissions - and yes, you can enter as many times as you like!

Tommy Mackay - Can September 11 ("Here's one of the ones I did yesterday, mixing Rudy with Suzi Quatro)

DJ Wild Bill - Believe In Rudy (Carjack Remix) ("...mixed Tupac Shakur, Shania Twain, the Monkees, Queen, Boys II Men, LeAnn Rimes, and Rudy Giulliani with Broadway tunes from "Phantom Of The Opera" and
"Wicked."")

Keith Karagan - Eleven Rudy Nine September ("rock <9-11> the <9-11> vote!")

Jazz Kissingers - Blues In September ("The rhythm of "September 11" sounded like "My Momma Done Told Me", so I did this little fantasy here.")

Adnoisium - SeptEl ("after the initial Rudy clip I sample Flava Flav from the PE song "911 is a joke".  Now I don't mean this to imply that the tragedy and loss of 9/11 are a joke,but rather that Rudy's constant mention of it is.")

Sick To The Back Teeth - C Major Nineth Sharp 11th

Stereofect - Rudy Giuliani 911 Remix ("It's a David Tudor type mix with a nod to William S. Burroughs.
Why?... because life... is... a cut up...")

UPDATE 2: Here are seven more Rudy Remixes - please keep 'em coming at ken at wfmu dot org. You can use any audio materials in your mix whatsoever, and as little Rudy audio as you like, as long as he's there invoking you-know-what somewhere.

Miguelito Contraband - Gold Plated 9-11 Diapers ("Mash-up of Guliani, Christopher Walken as Bruce "More Cowbell"  Dickinson, and Greyboy's Smokescreen")

Weird Al Qaidawww - Cockroach

Doug Wyatt - Talking Points  (Note that this track is an audio MP4 file, not an MP3) ("In 2004, someone made a video remix of speeches from the Republican National Convention, including Giuliani saying "September 11." That video made the rounds on the net but I'm unable to attribute it. Not long afterwards I composed a piece of music out of it. Last year I spent about half an hour in Final Cut Express combining the original video with my music. So while this does not fall within the parameters of your contest, I
thought nonetheless that you'd enjoy it.")

Adnoisium - N Dats What Happen ("I've decided to submit (at least) one more entry: This time i used the samples more as an instrument, and as such there's less of a political agenda. The feel is also different
because this time I used 8-bit instrumentation.")

Arratik - Null ("All of the sound in this track except for the drums was derived from the source file. I used a circuit-bent Casio SK-10 at the beginning, and the synth tone you hear in the latter 2/3rds was created by loading a 2 millisecond sample into Ableton Live's Sam pler instrument and transposing it to match middle C. The weird droning that continues into the fadeout is the tail end of what happened when I took a 1.5 second sample of Giuliani saying "since September 11th" and stretched it out to over four minutes. The whole thing was assembled and rendered in Ableton Live.")

Jamie Clay - Rudy's Song

Mike Stark - Rudy, The One Trick Pony

UPDATE 3: Here's ten more. Some really good ones in here. Someone should take Lee Rosevere's slowed down "September 11" and use the different parts of it as the musical tones for another remix!

TZA - MasterG

Token Wonder - Open Your Mind

Lee Rosevere - September 11 ("Heres my submission: one utterance of "September 11" by Rudy G, slowed down to...9 mins and 11 secs (clever, no?) Kenny G should love it.")

Adnoisium - Gooble Gobble Nine Eleven ("The title is all meant to be said in the same rhythm. The end clip (as well as the on going background clip) from Tod Brownings "Freaks" came about because of the Guiliani quote "...I'm one of them.")

Tommy McKay - Talk About September 11 ("Here's today's mix, Talk About September 11, featuring Ray Parker Jnr, M, and Nat King Cole.")

Tommy McKay - Rudy Cant Fail To Mention September Eleventh

Multi-Panel - Got To  Know Her

Norelpref - Leaven Happens

Frank Panucci - 911 Rudy Pooty Duty

Nick Archer - Rudy September 11

A certain Nena song comes to mind, but since my remixing capabilities at present are nil, I'll just toss the idea out there.

[Adam]

Cool. I might try this.

It might be fun to do this with John Edwards saying "My daddy was a mill worker", too. :P

[cxb]

Hey Ken... how does one upload either the mp3 or WAV to their harddrive? I tried a variety of things that failed.

Certainly all candidates are lying garbage, but the amazing irony is that Rudy is the LAST person who should mention Sept 11th b/c the 1993 bombers and friends promised to return to raze the Twin Towers and Rudy didn't care. There are hundreds of separate scandals re 9/11 that should end Rudy's career.

The fact that Bush and Rudy (and their media) spun their complete and absolute FAILURES to protect America on 9/11 into proof of their "national security" leadership is one of the most insane moments in human history.

Even smart people believe Rudy was great on 9/11! Hooray! We only lost NYC's two tallest buildings and 3,000 people in 2 hours, but the man RESPONSIBLE (according to RUdy's own words) is considered a hero for THIS leadership!

If you want a LOT more dirt on the most corrupt man to ever run for president, take a gander at

More soon!

[General Zod]

Wow, I never noticed before, for some reason he always says September Eleven, never September Eleventh. Wondering if it's because of his lisp or something...

[cxb]

Have you seen this, Ken? It's a reporter actually doing their homework and compiling how Rudy literally did answer so many diverse tough questions with "September 11th"!!

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/wn_report/2007/10/07/2007-10-07_no_matter_what_the_question_is_rudy_says.html

[jrmas]

Having seen TPM's video, all I could think of was the downbeat on The Chambers Brothers "Time Has Come Today"

[jack]

the word september starts to sound unreal after a while. like when you look at a word for long enough and it seems like it's spelled weird.

[bartleby]

I guess this is the whole point here but it bears saying that he is going to wear out "September 11th" not just among Lil' Markie fans but with September 11th fans. Most Republicans hate New York city anyway. So it won't be long before people start associating September 11 with New York City and not a minute and a half of demolition porn. As excuses to hate on people in the third world go, I suppose it had a good run.

[Ejc]

Another idiot who wraps himself in the glory of all the 9/11, Sicking. Nixon want-a-be.

This is my entry for the contest.

[Brent]

"SeptEl" is awesome!

[Nat Stevens]

dont think rudy has what it takes

[Frank Panucci]

Yow -

In case my submission didn't arrive because Verizon email is tagged as spam, here's the FP remix:

[cxb]

So far, "Talking Points" is easily my favorite.

[mdm]

I wish we could vote! (On these.)

[Dina Cox]

Rudy did an outstanding job on 9-11.

[stAllio!]

i did mine as a video. i hope that counts:

[Listener Fantod]

Although the 9/11 pandering sickens me, the most I could work up was a little sarcasm, and ferrets:
http://mysite.verizon.net/fantod/ferrets/ferretsagainstgiuliani.html

To anybody with better audio skills: mash up Kraftwerk's Numbers and Rudy.

Some amps go up to 11, some people stop at 9/11.

[Leah]

I only know of you through MC Paul Barman. He gives you a shout out on at least one of his songs.

Keep the Peace. Please.

[TY]

CRAP!

Part 2 is only the coda of my entry! Yipes!

Sorry Ken, but Part One has all the beef!

Damn!

[TY]

DAMN,

the last four or so Remixes don't play at all, including mine. (Part 2 is just the creepy coda. Part 1 is one of the best in the whole contest.)

(And I have no problem saying some of my stuff sucks.)

hope it can get fixed, but understand you're likely swamped

- Touching You

[Station Manager Ken]

OK, everything should be fixed up now. TY - I only received one file from you. The first one you sent me early on didn't work.

IF ANYONE CARES, I just put one of the most insightful RUDY REMIXES on my myspace page b/c it hasn't been put up here in a week:

[RF]
