The 80s, part 2:
Dio - Holy Diver
Beastie Boys - No Sleep till Brooklyn
Note about the distortion on the vocals: it's in the original vocal track, I tried to minimize it but there was really not much I could do. More to come!

Talking Bush
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.

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.
Weezer - Say It Ain't So
Ace of Base - The Sign
R.E.M. - Losing My Religion
Ice Cube - Today Was A 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.
Avril Lavigne - What The Hell
Billy Joel - We Didn't Start The Fire

Dropkick Miley
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
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.
