Mashups ‘N Indie Anthems

May 7th, 2007

Just the other day I was chatting to some people here in the building about how I think 2007 is the year to celebrate mashups. Since then nothing but amazing

old and new mashups have descended upon me. It has been a wondrous few weeks.

A cameraman slipped me Best of Bootie 2005 and 2006. If you haven’t heard them PICK THEM UP. You hear NWA battle

Nirvana, MIA take on The Ramones and Beastie Boys handle Zeppelin. But

it was my boy Devon who takes home the prize for introducing me to the best mashup

I have heard so far this year - R. Kelly shaken up with a little Broken Social Scene. “I’m A Flirt”. It is.. well.. just listen to it and you will understand what I am saying.
