Line #3 Music/BlixtySlycat


1	->''This is....The Tomorrow People''
2
3	Blixty Slycat is [[IHaveManyNames probably the best-known alias]] of an electronic artist who frequently releases a high quantity of computer-made home music for free. Her music has a tiny following, and runs the gamut of music it is possible to make with only samples on a computer. She has actually long abandoned the Blixty alias, and was known as Glowwy-Lookin' Lava Lamp for some time before becoming Mojave Music.

5	Blix's most recent music can be streamed or downloaded from [[http://blixtyslycat.bandcamp.com/ her bandcamp page]]. Some of her older material can be found on [[http://lightworksmusic.webs.com/index.htm here]] (under "Lightex" then "Discography"). She also has a [[https://www.youtube.com/user/SoshoKittycat Youtube Channel]] where non-album songs may be found.

7	Though she did, at one time, use the moniker Lightex, she should not be confused with the lighting company Lightex Electronics, the slang term for a lighter used to smoke marijuana, or the Deviant Art artist ~LightEX~.

67
68	----
69	!Tropes that apply to Blixty Slycat's music:
70
71	* {{all lowercase letters}} - ''float zombies''.
72	* AmenBreak - used in "Elephants!".
73	** Shows up again in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smsHPf-p-jI&feature=player_embedded "Goin' Off (Blood Like Barbed Wire)"]] by way of [[Music/{{NWA}} "Straight Outta Compton"]]
74	* CatchPhrase - Several of her releases feature the same doctored sample of a person saying the page quote. The original says "''Bendix:'' The Tomorrow People".
75	* CallBack - "Blixty Slycat is Dead" ends with a pitch-doctored sample of "Deserted Shoreline" off of ''Blix.trip''.
76	* LimitedSpecialCollectorsUltimateEdition - ''Blix.trip: Edition II'' is a subversion. The only thing different is a slightly cooler cover and the absence of "Gap", a second-long silence between the two halves of the album.
77	* DigitalPiracyIsEvil - Here inverted, Blixty refuses to sell the music she makes at all, giving it away instead, and thinks digital piracy is a ''good'' thing.
78	* GenreRoulette - While they are all electronic at their core, Blixty's albums' actual ''content'', both sonically and thematically, varies widely.
79	* IHaveManyNames - A number of which have been used only once or twice.
80	* ManipulativeEditing: See CatchPhrase above. Spliced together from two of Raymond Scott's radio commercials.
81	* {{Sampling}} - Forms the backbone of her work. Only one album (''I Found Myself in a Dark Wood'') contains no samples, and many albums contain nothing but. When original instruments are introduced, they're usually done by collaborators or simple synth tones.
82	* SelfParody - "Blixty Slycat is Dead".
83	* ShoutOut - By way of sampling or song titles. Some examples:
84	** ''Blix.trip'' to ''VideoGame/BitTrip''
85	** ''Elsewhere'''s "Unbuilt, Thine Mysterie" to Music/SarahMcLachlan's "Building a Mystery".
86	** "Radio Zachary (Listening to 11.975MHz)" to....well [[Webcomic/ListeningTo11975MHz guess.]]
87	** "Renegades of Fuck" to Afrika Bambaataa's "Renegades of Funk"
88	** "Someday in the Rain" is named after a Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya episode
89	** "Forgotten Eastern Spirit" is a vague allusion to ''Touhou'', and refers to Mima, whose theme it samples.
90	*** Likewise, its remix "The Melody X From a Wandering Star" refers to Nue, as does "Concealed Alien from a Quasar".
91	* ThatManIsDead - "Blixty Slycat is Dead" on ''How've You Been?''
92	* WordSaladLyrics - Mike K's rapping on "The Funky Cow" off of ''Blix.trip'', and again on "The Boat" on ''Nonfiction Mixed in Silver''.
