Talking Bush

Running Up That Lifetime

Talking Heads - Once in a Lifetime

Kate Bush - Running Up That Hill

This begins a series of 80s mashups that I have finished. By finished, I mean finished - I'm looking at the rendered files in front of me and have made ridiculous Photoshopped covers for half of them. so check back next week and I will have another mashup celebrating the worst decade of popular music*.


*I don't believe this. If you believe this, you're a jerk and you need to listen to The Replacements.

The New Beat The New Beat The New Beat The New Beat

The Shape of Punk To Come is one of my favorite albums of all time. Start to finish, it's an insanely solid post-hardcore record, but I like it for the ways in which it confounds expectations - techno interludes? Jazz samples? Middle-eastern string parts? These aren't things you hear on a lot of records that can be categorized as "punk".

As for Justice - well, I like Justice. It sounds good to me. I've got nothing else to say about that.

Noise Of Nazareth
Refused - New Noise
Justice - Waters Of Nazareth

The 90s!

A little while ago, I made 2 mashups using 90s songs for an EP compiled by Eternal Khaos. I've posted my contributions here, but you should download the complete EP HERE. It features tracks by myself, Eternal Khaos, The Bedtime Sisters, G3RST, Oki, DJ Useo, and DJ BritBoy. If you've ever wanted to hear Nirvana on top of Crystal Waters, this is your chance.

Losing My Good Day

Billy Lavigne

As a rule, I only use songs I like. So, I myself am surprised that I'm using Avril Lavigne. But come on. Listen to that electric organ/handclap combo. So catchy. This is also the first time I've used a current pop hit. Might be the last, might not.

It's been a long time.

I shouldn't have left you

Without a strong rhyme to step to

Think of how many weak shows you slept through

Time's up, I'm sorry I kept you

Thinking of this, you keep repeating you miss

The rhymes from the microphone soloist

And you sit by the radio, hand on the dial, soon

As you hear it, pump up the volume

Can't Be Shipped Off To Boston

Miley Cyrus - Can't Be Tamed

Dropkick Murphys - Shipping Off To Boston

I've got a lot more done, tracks will be posted weekly until I run out.

In the Spirit(ualized) of the Season

Several things converged all at once to make this happen:

1. I picked up the deluxe edition of Spiritualized's masterpiece, Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space, with a bonus disc of acapellas and other bits

2. The title track has the same chord progression as Pachelbel's Canon In D

3. It's December

Enjoy!
