Mashups keep coming back year after year, month after month. In fact, they’re more pervasive than ever, creeping into stranger and stranger places. Don’t believe me? What about that delicious trio of condiments up top? Government and big industry? Autotune and talent?
Yes, I think it’s high time we stopped ignoring them and brought this feature […]

This came out late last year, but I’d imagine some of you out there could find a use for this today. So hard to pick a favorite.
Enjoy.

There are conceptual mash-up albums, and then there are nerd-savants.
Granted, this one’s dependent on the audience being familar with Kōji Kondō’s compositions for the 5th game in the Legend of Zelda series — I remember just enough to rank this one of the most brilliant projects of its kind.
The only way Team Teamwork could have […]

Somebody’s templated artist fan page is about to get a fresh mess of traffic.
In naming his brilliant mashup of Twitter and Yahoo News, Vik Singh probably should have checked the search results on “tweetnews” first. I’m sure I’m not the first person to plug that into to Google and wind up catching up on the […]

Happy Arbitrary Designation of Time!
Here is a well-ordered, occasionally ill-mannered Top Ten list to start things off right. I would like to thank Last.fm for its monk-like dedication to transcribing all of my “plays” last year. Or is that “stalker-like dedication?”
Either way, this is the most data-driven “best of” list to date. The only edits […]

Harry, I’m gonna let you in on a little secret. Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don’t plan it, don’t wait for it, just…let it happen. Could be a new shirt at the men’s store, a catnap in your office chair, or two cups of good, hot, black coffee. — Agent Cooper
I […]

I really needed this laugh. Thank you Morgoth!
Motorhead vs. Gorillaz - “Ace of Spades” + “Feel Good, Inc.”

No, not the old trippy software.
Been trying to do an Atari 2600-style reset up in here. Nothing like a couple of mashups to joyfully scramble my brains:
Vampire Weekend vs. Fela Kuti via WorldBeatPlanet.
Devo vs. The Monkees - “Girl U Want” + “I’m a Believer” by The Illuminoids.
Okay week #41, what else ya got?

When it comes to mashups featuring The Pharcyde, you’re going to have some trouble getting beyond “Passin’ Me By.” Not that there’s anything wrong with this classic, but you’d think “Ya Mama” or “Oh Shit” or any of their other gems would inspire countless mutant offspring.
Actually, if you want to wade through the YouTubery, […]

Metal mashups. RoooAAAARRRWWwwRRRRR!!
Ahem.

p.s. Still not ready to start the week? Have a little steaming cup of bonus video.

Another long slog through the mashup mines. And on Father’s Day, too.
The things I do for you kids!
Aphex Twin vs. Busta Rhymes - “Pissed Up in SE1″ + “Touch It” (NSFW)
by 100dBs
Anita Ward vs. Shannon - “Ring My Bell” + “Let the Music Play”

I’ve featured the work of dj BC a few times now, but I just stumbled onto his “Art Raps” collection and couldn’t wait until next week to share. It didn’t get a lot of mention when it appeared a few months back, either.
Essentially, he’s pairing electronic pioneers such as Terry Riley, Raymond Scott and Ussachevsky […]
