— Naguib Mahfouz Eric Prydz vs Pink Floyd - Proper Education (thanks, weezie )

And not just Beatles; don’t worry, this isn’t some Grey Album strokefest, despite the props due to Ob-La-Teeth (Beatles vs. Obie Trice). And it’s not all rap-mash, either. Check out Comfortable Holiday (Scissor Sisters vs. Madonna) for a complete pop music mental breakdown; at BASS 211 DOT COM & DJ Tripp: 99 Boots But A Bitch Ain’t One! (thanks, sean , who recommends She Wants Animals : Ace of Base vs. NIN)

These tunnel accidents appear to be non-fatal (or I’d not post them), and are hopefully only injurious to the pride of the at-fault drivers despite their dramatic nature. Ignore the music in this clip; in fact, put on the theme to The Benny Hill Show ; it’s more appropriate. (thanks, timk)

Hippocamp ’s “ Pet Sounds ” now be on Banned Music. It is a mash-up style project of the Beach Boys’s Pet Sounds with a reconsidered electronic setting.

the problem with mash-ups... is that once you get past both “oh, that’s unexpected” and “that must have been difficult,” what you”re left with is a dj with really fucking terrible taste in music. — jwz blog entry Wikipedia on Mash-ups .

If you need even more bastardpoppybits, check DJ Riko’s offerings . Riko gets a bit more oldschool than most mixes; right now I'm enjoying bits of Leave It mixed with heavy scratching. ( .mp3 ) (via waxy )

JAL offers a personal entertainment screen with a bunch of crap games and a number of movies and TV shows for the long flight across the Pacific. It's about 10 hours from Japan to the US, and 11 hours returning. I don't sleep on airplanes at all, so I watched a lot of movies. ANA plays one set of movies going east, and a different set going west; JAL doesn't. I forgot this tiny fact, which means I watched most of the movies during the most tolerably short leg of the journey. (Note: All "title links" go to the IMDB listing) Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World : Yeah, you know, I actually want to enjoy this movie when I eventually see it, so I didn't watch it on a 5-inch LED screen with poor contrast. It's in theaters now in Japan, so I'll check it there. Something's Gotta Give : Better than I would have expected; plenty of witty dialog, not too many implausible situations, and reasonably thought provoking. Keanu almost holds his...

Killer Bowie mash-up ( iTunes Music store link) by Go Home Productions , available "legitimately" through iTMS. Plus: Reset Music , another mashup site.

...to Bootie - SF's monthly mash-up bootleg party ; because he cannot.

Jay-Z and Metallica: Black on Black (DJ Halfred) : " Announcing the release of Black On Black, a full-length reinterpretation of Jay-Z's Black Album, as seen through the lense of Metallica's Black Album. " I'm happy to see so much copyright-protest art happening, but I'm getting a little sick of Jay-Z. Well, not quite as sick as I became of mash-ups using Missy Elliot's "Work It," but close.

William Shatner's cover of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds , mash-up-videotized via Star Trek meets Terry Gilliam meets Yellow Submarine . And Lucille Ball . Terror Alert Level has been upped to "Shatner"

Bastard Pop is the mixing of two or more songs with each other, and/or adding new content to the mix. This is still just catching on in the US, from what I hear, as opposed to Europe where it is old news. The recent, oppressive activities on the part of copyright industry are likely to blame. Or maybe there are just so many versions of Missy Elliot's "Work It" that the average human can hear on the road to finding gems like Freelance Hellraiser's "Just Can't Get Enough Pills," Dsico's "Block Rockin' Woman," or the anonymous, joyful Eminem vs. Magnum P.I. mashup " Without Magnum ." To those humans, I feel their pain, but say unto them keep digging long enough, and you will find gold. Friends in San Francisco have been able to attend BOOTIE! ( photos , photos , photos ) - a club event championing this outlaw music form. The last one was on Feb. 10th, and the next one will be Wednesday, March 10, Cherry Bar & Lounge. ...

My very favorite mash-up/bootie deejay, DSICO (that no talent hack) says his whole Bootie of Choice and I'm Not a Retard albums are available for download.
