Greetings, rat-fans. So, to celebrate avoiding Xmas successfully for the 17th year running, I grabbed the first 30 seconds of Sir Paul's 1982 pop masterpiece, and attacked it with various cheap (or fairly cheap, in the scheme of things) sonic devices. These included a Korg Monotribe and Monotron Delay, a Melodica with most of the keys working, a 1970s Sansui hi-fi reverb unit and a Stylophone - an original example, of course.. not one of those iffy new ones - for as close to a live dub mixing session as I'm ever likely to indulge in. It may not be very 'authentic' (I am after all a strawberry blonde, 41 year old garage mechanic from north Wales) but it was rather fun to do. Hopefully it'll be fun to listen to as well.

Paul McCartney vs Soundhog - Take It Away - 'Rubber Dub'

Thank you, Soundhog for all these
mixes, if I may call them that
It's another interpretation of music that's already in existence, and if you want to work them a little and see what you can do with them, then who am I to say it's awful?
I find it to be a fresh approach to older material
I'm not as close-minded as the other people who like to downplay your efforts with negative comments
Keep up the experimentation and imagination!
It seems to me that McCartney would have been, ultimately, a better vocalist for Zeppelin than Plant turned out to be...
