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''. |
