Mashups?

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

What do you peeps think about this new trend in music-land?

And do you have a favourite mashup you heard and actually like?

Some of them are really nice, I think, others are really terrible.

I had some fun with Eminem versus Evanescense myself...

Not really difficult to make yourself, if you consider it... just use a P2P proggie to dl a karaoke version of Song 1 and an 'A cappella' version of Song 2, mix-em together in a simple (or sophisticated, whatever ;D ) sound program et voila!

My own Eminem/Evanescense mashup is called Bring Me Back To The Real Slim Shady, BTW :lol:

That is fookin' genius Izzy. It's quite scary how much changing the backing track can change the mood of the lyrics - the second verse sounds like it could easily have been done by Limp Bizkit (which would be a bad thing in any other context ;)).

Well, I'd be inclined towards the do your own thing-thing, but then again, some of those mixes are just so damn right :lol: (well, it's a miracle how everything seems to fit sometimes, isn't it?)

So I'll go for the some choice, I guess...

Very nice, Izzy :D

My husband thinks he might take it to school to play to his "mad" kids.

I can't stand that evanescence woman but like what you've done ;D
I never talk during music, at least during good music. If one hears bad music, it is one's duty to drown it in conversation.

I asked my friend (who's a DJ) if he'd play one of my songs. He asked if it'd be OK to mash it up first.

Now I don't mind if he decided to Smash It Up by making a dance mix would scare me no end. ;)

But nice one, Iz. :lol:

As above - brilliant Iz. Which reminds me of my favourite mash - My Name Is...with Rammstein's Engel as backing music. Thunderous. :notworthy:

Mashups be De Debil's own work

He was the 1st person to "sample" a record - mixing in session recordings done that same day, with a recording being done that second - the guy is a GENIUS!

And he's not a "bad" DJ!
