Who Doesn't Love This Song?

If you’re wondering why I’m posting this now when I said that I was going to be on my trip, it got bumped from me leaving yesterday to me leaving this Sunday; don’t ask for the full story, but complications happened which prevented me from leaving when I was scheduled to; in hindsight the new days I’m gone may work out better for me anyhow. I’ll keep it short and sweet.

While I was looking for songs to put on a burned CD or two for my trip up north, I stumbled upon a mashup from DJ Erb. At his downloads page, you can spend either 50 cents on a particular tune or you can just download the free ones available.

The song in particular I'm pointing out is his mashup of one of the greatest songs of all time, Radar Love (who doesn't love that tune?) featuring vocals from two of the most popular rappers that appear in mashes, the Beastie Boys and Ludacris. It's good stuff and I think that more mashes need to be done with Golden Earring's classic song.

As my trip starts on the 2nd I'll be taking much of this month off. My next post here won't be until the weekend of August 22nd.

Steve Harris Is A Believer

I know, a day late, a dollar short, and all that. I'll do one last post by the 28th of July before I leave for my Illinois trip.

I got a tip on a new song from a local wrestling messageboard, of all things. A big fan of Iron Maiden made a post which was of a YouTube video of a new mashup involving that band and... The Monkees!

It's from a DJ I've talked about before, DJ Schmolli. You can download the song at his blog here. Hearing Bruce Dickinson singing over the oldies standard is quite surreal, yet great at the same time.

A Trio of Interesting Albums

As I'm exhausted tonight I'll keep it pretty brief. Right now at Mashuptown is a trio of albums that, while I haven't really listened to any of them yet, all sound intriguing.

ToTom doing an entire album of Bob Dylan mashups is certainly unique and it's a great idea.

DJ Zebra doing an entire album based on Woodstock is also a great idea, as hey next month is the 40th anniversary of that wonderful weekend, if you can believe it.

Finally, an entire album based on electro songs done by a variety of DJ's... thumbs up from me.

I'll be back next weekend.

Check Back Here This Upcoming Weekend

Unfortunately yet another calamity happened to me this past weekend; remember how I got a cheap computer around Thanksgiving due to problems with the old one and how it would be a temporary fix until the summer when a new one could be bought? Well, the 4th of July the cheap computer crashed and as it was a holiday I had to wait until Sunday to get a new one; I got a Hewlett-Packard and that should be better than the cheap one. But, that screwed up my schedule and thus I'll have to post something new this upcoming weekend.
