Massive Mashup Post (with downloads)

[liz_marcs]

Know what I love about mashups?

It's how they can make very familiar songs sound like something completely different.

Anyway, in the midst of organizing at least some of my MP3, I found myself getting completely caught up in a whole bunch of mashups I've downloaded over the past few years.

So, I decided to put together about 30 or so of the ones that completely struck me this time around in a nifty little Imeem playlist. Then I figured, hey, why don't I just put together a folder where you could download the tracks you like?

Here be the playlist:

Mash-Ups



And here is the Sendspace folder where you can download individual tracks.

Please note that some of the tracks may have NSFW language, but they're definitely a lot of fun and more than a few are dance-able and workout-able.

The management would appreciate comments if you choose to download anything.

Now, off to watch BSG...

Hi, came across this while surfing friendsfriends and am taking a few tracks. I love mashups and haven't gone hunting for them recently, so it's great to see what's new. Thanks!

[liz-marcs.livejournal.com]

No prob! Glad you like!

I've got tons more, but these just happened to be what I was dealing with.

Oooh, grabbing a few, thanks!

Here's one you didn't have: Garbage vs. Nine Inch Nails - Crushingly Closer

[liz-marcs.livejournal.com]

Oooo, thanks!

[lillian13.livejournal.com]

I downloaded just about all of these. Many many thanks!

Have you ever been to Coverfreak? http://coverfreak.com/

[liz-marcs.livejournal.com]

Heeee! Glad you enjoyed!

I think I've seen the coverfreak site before, but thanks for the link!

[lyuells.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the mashups! They're really fun.

[liz-marcs.livejournal.com]

Glad you enjoyed. :-)

OOOH!!! I LOVE MASHUPS!!!

[liz-marcs.livejournal.com]

I have a serious weakness for 'em, that's for sure.

[0x.livejournal.com]

The ones I have are all from http://www.bootiela.com/ ♥

[liz-marcs.livejournal.com]

Oooooh! That's nice.

I occasionally ping a few of the mash-up sites, but I've never seen that one.

I'm sure I'll be downloading like a mad woman fairly soon.

[vily.livejournal.com]

Trying a couple. Thanks!

[liz-marcs.livejournal.com]

Enjoy!

[wobin.livejournal.com]

Loving all of these, some really really well done ones!

[liz-marcs.livejournal.com]

That's the joy of mash-ups...the really well done ones really do sound like original compositions as opposed to something that's been Frankensteined from two or more other songs.

[lddurham.livejournal.com]

I'd never even heard of mash-ups and now I'm in love! Thank you! I snagged a few and will probably be back for more. Thank you!

[liz-marcs.livejournal.com]

By all means! Snag away.

If you look above, someone recommended Bootiela as a good mash-up Website.

I have a few Websites of individual DJs: DJ Earworm and Party Ben.

That should get you started...

[laura-iskra.livejournal.com]

wow, interesting music, thank you!

[liz-marcs.livejournal.com]

Glad you liked it. :-)

[syderia]

I took a few.

Thank you !

[liz-marcs.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Glad you liked.

[rosiew.livejournal.com]

Oh! fun! thanks!

[liz-marcs.livejournal.com]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[rhythmaning.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much for posting that. I don't really get the idea of mash-ups from the point of view (!) of the listener - they seem more fun for the creator, usually - but some of those are excellent.

I particularly like the Batman/Beatles one.

Converted!

[liz-marcs.livejournal.com]

Well, mashups are a lot like fanfic (well, they are actually fanfic...musical fanfic).

Mostly it's done for the person who does it, but the really good ones are a joy to find and share.

[auntyk.livejournal.com]

I'd like to grab all of them, have you got them as a zip file? Don't worry if that's not possible, I'll just grab them one at a time

[liz-marcs.livejournal.com]

These individual tracks? No. Sorry. I was just randomly uploading them as I heard something I liked.

*sheepishly grins*

Hopefully next time.

[auntyk.livejournal.com]

hey that's ok...it was a long shot!

thanks for introducing me to mashups....they're rather good

[auntyk.livejournal.com]

I'll be grabbing these as free spaces become available at SS....so it may occur over the next week or so.

[secondalto.livejournal.com]

Love this, grabbing some, thanks!

[liz-marcs.livejournal.com]

Glad you like!

[fiareynne.livejournal.com]

I love mashups! Probably snagging most of them, if not all.

[liz-marcs.livejournal.com]

Snag away! Everyone needs a few good mash-ups in their collection, right? :-)

[phyr-nyt.livejournal.com]

you totally rock. i didn't even know what this type of music was called until today. XD thank you. :3 and i grabbed a few. :3

[tjalorak.livejournal.com]

Wow. Pretty interesting! I'm listening my way through them. I'm about 4 songs down. So far my favorite is the Beatles vs. Shaggy mashup.

Thanks for these!

[skarman.livejournal.com]

These are fun and way better then some of the stuff I got a few years ago. Thanks for this, Liz and thanks to everyone who provided a few links.

PS: DJ Erb's one is the best, followed by 'Weapon of Diggity'. That last one I'm picturing Chris Walken doing his routines (both his dancing from the original as well as his patented maniac killer with a touch of John Woo thrown in)
