  • Monday Mash-Up Madness

    Wow, it seems like just last week Xanga was all messed up and no one could upload photos or audio.  Wait, it was last week.  I done uploaded some tunes and now you are going to listen to them...well you don't have to listen to them but READER WILL YOU PLEASE LISTEN TO THEM! OK, that's out of my system...maybe I should do the old "recommend if you are really my friend" routine.  Here be the mash-ups for all 2 of you that are interested.

    This mash-up combines Matisyahu with John Lennon, Blink 182, and Bob Marley.  It's such an odd combination but it works for me.  I really enjoy Matisyahu.  He is my favorite Hasidic rapper.  We share the same Hebrew name: מתיסיהו...so I guess that counts for something.  Honestly this mash-up has made me start thinking positively about Blink 182.

    This is one of two WTF mash-ups this week.  It contains some salsa music combined with "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana.  As I have mentioned countless times before, "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is one of the most mashed songs out there.  It's amazing how it is used here but after listening to it a few times I began to be thankful that Kurt Cobain never became a washed-up act. If he did this song would be him right about now performing in Las Vegas lounge shows.

    The other WTF mash-up..."Crazy Train" by Ozzy Osbourne mashed with "Take On Me" by A-Ha.  Oh man, this one is just so out there yet it works.  It made bring up horrible images of Disco Train aka Ozzy's cover of "Stayin' Alive".  The coolness Ozzy lost with me for not being able to control his bladder and covering "Stayin' Alive" has been regained by this mash-up.

    OK so here is a photo of me in my football gear.  That was taken years ago and sadly that is the only photo I have of myself.  I used it as my comment pic but someone said it was tiny...I get that a lot.

    I've had a few people ask about my cats...here they are sitting next to me while I am using the computer.

    Lua loves to stand in my living room window and stare at the birds and squirrels feeding at my feeders.

    I didn't catch it in time but Kiki was trying to carry one of my sandals up the stairs.

    I found this street near the Hasbro board games factory...actually it's the street where a casino is located in Iowa.

    HALLELUJAH!

    I am trying to figure out which one I like the best.  TV fans may recognize the design of the second plate...HELLO WISCONSIN!
