Music Mash-ups

Years ago, when I was a younger and slightly more enthusiastic version of myself, I used to love trying to overlap 2 different songs to make one super duper mega uber-amazing song. To do this, I would need two devices to play music so that they could be heard at the same time, and that’s all. Of course, it never ever worked. The outcome was a pile of dogwank each and every time we (me and whoever the hell I forced to do this with me at the given time) tried it. Pretty disappointing. I still haven’t got a bloody clue as to how to do this myself if I ever did want to (which I still do), but luckily, several people through the wonder of teh internets clearly know their stuff. ‘Mash-ups’, as they are now commonly referred to, rather than ‘playing two songs at the same time and seeing what happens’ (the name I hurriedly christened the activity as), are all over the internet. Most of them are tripe, but there’s a fair few that work brilliantly; sometimes for comedic effect, and sometimes just…musically it all pieces together rather sweetly. There’s not much I can really say about each song that you wouldn’t otherwise gather from listening to the bloody things, so I’m not going to say anything about them at all. All I will say is that with me being a SLIGHT (to be fair, it is less of an obsession than it has once been) Muse fan, the range of songs on offer may be weighted towards one band/artist in particular. No prizes for guessing who that may be. Anyhoo, without further ado…BRING ON THE MASH-UPS!!!

I apologise for the length of the post, which is nearly solely due to the rather unappealing straight list of YouTube videos. For some reason Windows Live Writer was giving me a massive amount of grief when attempting to line ‘em up in rows. So yeah, I gave up. Sorry. I implore you to listen to/watch them all though! I’ve saved the best ‘til last…
