Monday Mash-Up Madness 7/12
I think I am going to try blogging a little more this week. My test results didn't come back today so I am on pins and needles or more accurate on the toilet seat or bent over in front of the toilet. At least the doctor personally called me today to offer apologies. I didn't ask her out on a date to discuss things because I thought that might be a tad inappropriate.
Here are this week's mash-ups:
This one contains my favorite song by Moby called "Extreme Ways" and a song by Queen called "I Want it All" and some rap offerings from Public Enemy in "Make Love, Fuck War". I really like this mash-up. It works for me mostly because I enjoy all three songs. That Moby song got a lot of play in my car when I would drive between home and college. It just has this urgency to it that makes me think.
This mash-up features a new song by Robyn called "Dancing All Night". It's mashed with the AC/DC classic "You Shook Me All Night Long". I guess when I downloaded and uploaded this song I was a fan but then when it comes to AC/DC my taste comes and goes. I can tolerate their material from time to time but not all the time. Today was a good day because the local classic rock station played no AC/DC for 2 straight hours. They still play "Running with the Devil" by Van Halen every day at 11AM which is so very creepy.
Here's a WTF mash-up. Take "Living on a Prayer" by Bon Jovi and mash it with "Seven Nation Army" by The White Stripes. I think the guitar hook in "Seven Nation Army" is hypnotic and makes me love the song no matter what it is mashed with. I still remember when that song first came out and me and my roommate would play it all night long. I am sure our neighbors hated it but at least it wasn't The Doors. Yes, we only played The Doors and The White Stripes. How is that for mixing it up?
Why do I see my grandparents dancing to this song?
Have a great night.

Mash-ups are so interesting. I think the third one is my favorite out of any of them. I love Seven Nation Army, and the White Stripes are frickin awesome.
Got to go with the Public Enemy one. Chuck D is the most intelligent man from hip hop.
I hope you get better soon! I was wondering where your Celebrity Round-Ups went!
I know what you're talking about the AC/DC stuff. I understand that they're a classic but I can only stand their stuff every once in awhile.
Great vid!
Good luck with your results.
I hope you get your results soon and stay away from the toilet.
yaaa, mystic lake takes all my money. well actually the little six casino next door to it thats a branch of mystic.
The White Stripes are always a good decision. I remember when Seven Nation Army came out and my brother and I would crank it up and jam. I obviously had to play the drums since I'm the chick.. Roman had no clue how to play the guitar, but he made it up.. Makes me feel pretty old. And I don't care what people day about the White Stripes, they are fantastic. Some of Jack's separate work is pretty cool too.
That last song is hilarious. I had to turn it down cause I'm sitting next to my mom but it was entertaining. '31 was a good year
Crush on your doctor? Oooo. Go for it, once things get settled of course. I hope they can figure out what's wrong and get you back in tip-top shape!
Sending positive energy your way!
Oooo love the first mash up (ima have to listen to that one again... ) and you're deff right about the guitar hook in the third one; it really is hypnotizing... totally cool, though.
oh, and yes. this time i went right ahead and listened to the video (since you were gonna ask me anyway!
...is that reeeeal? lol
hope you're feeling better... did you get your results back yet??? =/

I have drawn to mash-ups because the possibilities are only as limited as the human ear.

That one works so well but it's too bad that Flava Flav is on the track. When PE reunited for that track and some performances they didn't want Flav to join because of how he made himself a joke on the reality show circuit.

Yeah I just didn't have the strength to be at a computer that much last week. I hope to get something up this weekend.
@Aloysius_son -
I am still shocked that it is a real song.
@curiousdwk -
Thanks, it turned out that I was right and it was a reaction to my medicine.
@NightlyDreams -
Thanks, it turns out it was a reaction to my medicine
@mother_approved -
I've never been to that Little 6 but I spent way too much time at Mystic.
@twistedmistletoe -
that's awesome...after hearing that I wish I had siblings.
I really wonder if my grandparents got down to that song.
I had a reaction to the medicine I was taking. I think it is finally clearing up.
@Peridot21 -
Yes, I had a reaction to my medicine...a very severe reaction well not as severe as some but it is horrible. I am still recovering.
That first one contains "Extreme Ways". There was this show that used it for their theme song and I watched the show simply for the song but it only lasted about 6 episodes.
@godfatherofgreenbay - ugh very severe reaction =( ...well, keep on recovering ...and hopefully you'll be as good as new in no time. =)
@Peridot21 -
Thanks...I am trying to keep low and actually able to sit around on Xanga so yay for me!? Also working on writing a little something for outside of Xanga...for a potential book.
