What A Trip

I was stumped as to what to mention here, but then I went over to Mashupciti, where regularly new tracks are posted by a variety of people.

Well, one recent one is from none other than DJ Z-Trip, a DJ who's been around for awhile and does music other than mashups. But, the tune he posted there is a classic mashup where he acted a beat and used the riff from Sweet Child o' Mine* and had Stevie Wonder singing Uptight over it.

* which, by the way, seems to be totally ripped off from Alice Cooper and his new wave song Clones. Yes, Alice doing new wave; it should be no surprise that it didn't work, but the song itself is cool. Given that Cooper later was on a GNR song, there must have been no hard feelings for the riff borrowing.

You can find various downloads from Trip on his website. I've actually see Trip before in concert, and sad to say I believe it was the last time he performed in that area. Given that I got a ticket for it for ONE DOLLAR... but I wrote about the experience (much too briefly, sadly) on my MySpace page here. If you ever have the chance to see one of his performances, go! As I wrote about it then, it was quite the experience. Unique music, a videoscreen filled with groovy stuff, the lights, sound... and with his relationship with EA, he was able to do the gimmick where some fans got to play Pac-Man on the videoscreen! No kidding. Like I say, go if you ever are able to, no matter the cost. With me, it had to be the best dollar I've ever spent.

I'll be back Friday night with a new song spotlighted.
