Another mashup – this time The Cure’s “Love Cats” is thrown in a moulinex blender with “One Minute Man” by Missy Elliot. Soooooperb!

69 Dude!
August 17, 2007Sitting in the BA lounge at Heathrow the other night with 20 minutes to spare I decided to add something to my blog. I’ve had this really cool mashup of Eminem and Genesis for a few years so I fired that on.
Then yesterday I was messing around on the net and decided to check out my blog stats. I normally get about 15 or 20 hits a day, but at lunchtime I was already on 62… so I checked where all the traffic was coming from. What on earth is the New York Magazine, and more to the point how did they find my blog? Chuffed to bits that they name checked me though!
I checked back in the evening, and my hit count had rocketed to almost 200… seems like a few people had seen the NY Mag article and pinched it for themselves, getting me even more traffic… like these guys and these guys.
When I got into work this morning I wondered where I ended the day. 280 hits! And already 85 for today! But even cooler, I made it onto WordPress’s “Top Posts” chart yesterday! Breaking into the top 100 at number… wait for it… 69 dude!!!
I’ve got an absolute cracker of a post lined up for later today. It’ll be my last post before I go away on holiday for a week, I wonder if the hits will keep on coming?
Eminem vs Genesis – Without Me vs Land Of Confusion
August 15, 2007
I’m not a massive fan of Genesis, and as you progress through their back catalogue I like them even less, but there’s something about the “Invisible Touch” album that still appeals to me. I wish I could quote Patrick Bateman’s monologues on Genesis in “American Psycho” in full, but all I can remember about his reference to “Land Of Confusion” is “in this song, Phil Collins addresses the problem of abusive political authority…” as he ties up a prostitute!
However, Genesis are pretty naff on the whole, and I’d think long and hard before posting anything purely by them on here. But mashups are cool! Here’s what would happen if Patrick Bateman was to tie Phil Collins and Eminem together with one of his exquisite silk sheets and they were to make babies…
Sufjan Stevens vs Christina Aguilera – The Upper Peninsula
May 2, 2007Another bootleg from Aggro1 – this time from another of my favourite artists, Sufjan Stevens, mashed up with Christina Aguilera.
Lovely!
Porcupine Tree vs MIA – .3
May 2, 2007Welcome to one of my favourite things – the mashup. To quote Barry Cryer on “I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue” it’s one old song to the tune of another (as opposed to Andrew Lloyd Webber’s latest musical, which is another old song to the tune of several million).
Sorry about not posting for a few days – I was away at The Wallaces’ (as opposed to The Wallace’s!) wedding at the weekend and I’m just catching up now. At that wedding, in fact, the DJ played the non Porcupine Tree portion of this song at one point… a real floor emptier!!! It’s “Galang” by M.I.A. – and I’m not ashamed to say I’m way too uncool to have ever heard of them in my puff.
I’ll let the music do the talking. I’ve got a bunch more bootlegs on the Mac at home so I’ll post some more of them over the next few days.
