  • Monday Morning Mash-Up Madness

    I can't sleep.  I think it is because I am stressed and nervous about Monday.  My dad goes in for surgery.  Last year in late November/early December he had what was considered routine surgery and the doctor f'ed up and almost killed him.  They are calling this one routine.  I don't believe there is anything that can be described as routine.  Also to relieve stress last night, I went out to a bar.  I didn't get plastered but had a few drinks and then got home at about 9 and slept for a long time and then this afternoon I took a three hour nap before kick-off.  Horrible game. 

    This week's edition is a special holiday edition.

    This mash-up contains "Bang a Gong" by T. Rex and a Christmas song called "Back Door Santa" .  I like how this one flows, it's just amazing how well "Bang a Gong" fits.

    This is a rather intense mash-up.  It contains multiple Christmas carols mashed-up with multiple songs by Led Zeppelin.  Merry Axe-mas from Jimmy Page!

    I couldn't find the name of the Christmas song in this one but I still loved it because it isn't Christmas until you hear some AC/DC.  There is nothing I love more in this world then sitting around the Christmas tree, watching the snow fly, sipping hot chocolate, and rocking out to "Ballbreaker"...Yes, "Ballbreaker"!

    OK this may be the mash-up of the week.  It is one of the strangest mixes I have ever heard.  It takes a Christmas song by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra and mashes it with "All the Small Things" by Blink 182.  My description can not properly say how awesome this song is.

    This little mash-up is a combination of "Christmas Time is Here Again" by The Beatles mashed with "More Than a Feeling" by Boston.  That song by The Beatles has to be the most annoying song in their library yet it has a funny moment.  I'll have to upload the original because Paul McCartney admitted later in life that when they recorded that he was enjoying some Christmas green...he was smoking the marijuana.

    Oh and if you want more Christmas mash-ups, check out this site called A Very Bootie Christmas.  It has two albums of Christmas mash-ups, some of which I used here.  This website is Popbytes and the mash-up on this site is a Holiday Mix-Tape.  I wanted to upload it to Xanga but it was 30mb.  The final site is called Santastic.  It has 4 albums of holiday mash-ups.  The first two volumes of Santastic do not have mp3s to download or listen to, try volume 3 and 4 and the Christmas collection album.

    Saturday I had a program at church and for presents I gave away those playing cards I got not too long ago.  I forgot to include photos.



    I had to show you comparisons to what all those cards looked like compared to two bottles of beer as well as my cat.
