2016-09-19: Affection
This week, courtesy of our very own Donkey Brains, we have music from the Sopranos. Today, the Lost Boys.
2016-09-18: I must have been asleep for days
Wrapping this week up with an easy-like-Sunday morning mashup that hits pretty much every turn. There's a weird timing thing in the Commodores song that's super apparent here, but otherwise, this one flows together like butter and chocolate.
2016-09-17: Where did you come from lady
Kind of crazy how straight-outta-hitsville this WHAM! backer is, but it slots in pretty nicely. OTOH, as much as I love vocoder, the vocoder should've been nixed in this mix. Doesn't belong.
2016-09-16: girls ...and boys
Pretty sure I'm the only one who will like this one, but I've always liked Soulwax, not for technical abilities so much, but because they don't belabor their attempts. And they're clever. And span many genre's at a time. I can vouch for their ability to accompany one driving across the state of Wyoming overnight if that helps.
2016-09-15: It used to be so civilised
I had Salt-n-Peppa mashed with The Stooges here but changed it because, while it's good, it's hard to listen to for a full 3 minutes. I'll touch on that later this week, but the replacement I find pretty interesting, though maybe not a true mashup. BRAT (who does most of the mashups I've posted) apparently works for Depeche Mode and can get unprecedented DM source material. In this one, he puts the actual DM vocals on a 3rd party ska instrumental cover. It works pretty well.
2016-09-14: Your sky all hung with jewels
I was skeptical of this one being any good. Echo is a a favorite of mine and U.N.K.L.E. just sort of exists. It works well enough.
2016-09-13: Ba de ya - golden dreams were shiny days
I've always liked both these songs, but not really the bands to any great extent. The Daft Punk backer gets a little muted here under EWaF's bombast, but overall it's pretty neat. BTW - the Daft Punk original (Digital Love) has two features I find enthralling: the way the instrumental veers between robotic/expressive and the Rhodes piano used in the break being the actual Rhodes Supertramp used in The Logical song. It's uncanny.
