I was going to write this one about a small time Canadian jazz artist, but then I started listening to other music, ah well.
Musical Monday # 9: Mash-ups
What’s better than one good song? Two good songs. At the same time.
Yep.
Mash-ups are an interesting thing. Most of the time they are put together because the creator feels like the two tunes were work well together, other times it’s set up as a this vs that and some times it’s just to make a funny phase out of combining the titles. Actually most times it’s that last one or just to match up the least likely songs.
But still, the results are pretty amazing.
Skip these if you hate rap unconditionally and will never even try to expand your musical palette because of your preconceived notions:
This is awesome:
Warning: Naughty words
This is just silly:
Alright back to non rap stuff
Here’s a notable video since this is probably one of the only mash-ups performed onstage. It’s a mix up of Brick House and Houses of the Holy by a band called Dread Zeppelin. Dread Zeppelin is Reggae cover band of Led Zeppelin led by a 300 pound Elvis impersonator and I could probably do a whole post on them but this is all they’re getting for now.
And one more for the road.
That’s all for now folks.
I might make a follow up post to this one day..
