In case you didn't notice, in my first post on this blog, where I talked about D
J's Adrian & The Mysterious D, none other than Adrian himself managed to find this very blog and left a comment. It read:
I'm not a transsexual! Although, admittedly, I'm quite androgynous! Hey, I AM a mashup! Anyway, thanks for the props ... glad you're enjoying "We Got The Soulja Boy." We wish you luck on your new blog!
While it looks like that he wasn't offended by my dopey error, I still feel bad for making the mistake. So, I will mention two CD's the duo put together that spotlighted the best mashups of the past two years.
First, the mashup CD known as
Best of Bootie 2005. It contains 20 tracks, mixed together with no gaps between songs. Sure, you could always download a single track on the page, but you really should download the .zip file and burn all the songs in order on one CD. You can't go wrong with any of the tracks; put together, it's an awesome collection that spotlights some of the best mashups that year.
Then, there is the
Best of Bootie 2006 CD. This has an opening 30 second bit and then 20 tracks, mixed together in the same format. I'd say that 2005 is slightly better, but it's still a great way of spotlighting some of the best mashups in 2006. The bonus tracks they have on the page are also worth downloading. The
Easy Maneater is cheesy fun. I mean, it combines the
Nelly Furtado song
Maneater with the
Phillip Bailey/
Phil Collins song
Easy Lover! I'm not ashamed to admit that I really dig both songs on their own, but the mashup of the two turned out to be pretty bad-ass, as odd as it may sound to some.
Anyway, download the CD's and those bonus songs. You won't be disappointed.
Thursday night, I will spotlight an individual song again, and this time it will be one of those efforts where multiple tracks are put together into a sonic whole.
