  • Monday Morning Mash-Up Madness

    How was your weekend?  Really?  That sounds fun.  Oh I can't believe you did that.  No, I won't believe it.  Purple snow cones? 
    OK so I have a vivid imagination Since I haven't been going anywhere because of all this H1N1 scare and exposure, I had plenty of time to pick out some mash-ups for your listening pleasure.  I once said these things are called audio porn...well a few of these made my ears orgasm.  And because I love you so much, instead of 3, this week you get 6, count them 6 mash-ups!

    This is an oldie but a goodie.  It takes the classic white boy rap "Ice Ice Baby" by Vanilla Ice and mashes it with Eminem's "Real Slim Shady".  I love it.  It's slowed down a tad but it's still good.  I remember buying the cassette tape of Vanilla Ice's album.  I thought he was so badass because there were a few instances on that album where it sounded like he swore.  OF course he didn't but it still made him seem badass especially with that hair and hand signs.

    This is a fun bootie.  The Dj, whose name eludes me right now, takes Beastie Boys raps and mashes them with bass lines and music to various Beatles songs.  Now it may not be an entire Beatles song but still I like it.  It reminds me of the Grey Album.

    This mash-up is different.  I wanted to slow things down a bit so we could slow dance.  Yes, me and you on the dance floor or in the comfort of my house in my den dancing to this song.  Maybe not.  It's "Make it Wit Chu" by Queens of the Stone Age mixed with Johnny Cash's version of "Hurt".  I did not get teary-eyed when listening to this song.

    Remember how I have said that "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is one of the most frequently used songs in the mash-up universe?  Well here is just another example.  It takes "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and mixes it with the vocals from Wild Cherry's classic "Play that Funky Music".

    I saw this one and my eyes bugged out of my head.  I never thought the audio track, The Foo Fighter's "Everlong", for this song could be used in a mash-up. It takes the aforementioned "Everlong" and slaps it against the vocals and sound effects of M.I.A.'s "Paper Planes".  It works.  I love it. 

    OK this is the totally mismatched mash-up of Monday Morning Mash-Up Madness!  I was reading about how Miley Cyrus dropped her Twitter account and then this popped up.  It told me that a DJ created it as a tribute to Miley leaving.  I don't know if I believe that story but it is quite excellent.  This is the mash-up of mash-ups in this post.  You take one part, Miley Cyrus' "Party in the USA" shake it up with two parts "Party and Bullshit" by Notorious B.I.G. and you get this delectible audio cocktail.  My god!  I can't believe I enjoy a Miley Cyrus song although it really isn't Miley but still.


    In case you ever wanted to see what is going on inside my brain.

    My dreams have been really messed up as of late.

    Ladies and gentlemen, your 2009 Detroit Lions!

    Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend!
