Season 2 will start slowly with 2 posts a week (4 songs total)! No tags for guaranteed kinds of music each day, but hopefully we'll get a nice variety!
Welcome to the turn! 100 posts down, countless more to come! Lets get this goin right with an awesome dose of Mashup Monday!
Mashups have always impressed me, but there something so much more awe-inspiring about seeing the person do it live. Like Madeon's Pop Culture, this track is also performed right in front of your eyes on 2 beatpads and is really awesome! Incorporating about 52 songs, ssShawnnnnn brings a mashup that brings together music that shouldnt work, but does. Tracks all over the spectrum ranging from Paramore's Misery Business, to Skrillex's track Bangarang, to Will Smith's Gettin' Jiggy Wit It. Seriously, there is nothing wrong with this mashup and everything right with it! Usually mashups that try to incorporate too many songs end up feeling jumbled and confusing, but this one has such a nice flow that you can barely even tell half of the songs are in there until you listen very hard for it! Enjoy and I will see you back here tomorrow!
Mondays are rough, for real. Before into today's song, I want to talk about something.
Over the weekend, my friend Chris challenged me to find a tolerable remix of "What the Fox Say" by Ylvis, which slowly caused me to loose both my sanity and my threshold for that song. I will likely post the song as an add on to either Tuesday's or Thursday's song because I would never subject you all to just that song, but that is not the point that I am looking to make. In my search, it blew me away how many people had taken one particular remix, and reposted it as their own, generally with few ( the only one that had a change was a small change in speed) to no changes. Are people really that desperate for attention that they are willing to steal someone's remix and claim it as their own? Say it gets big, and the community wants more...what then? steal more remixes from little known DJs? Lie your way to the top only to get called out by such an insignificant community that it doesn't matter? No one that I know has performed music theft to this degree (thank god) but this kind of activity really makes me sick. Music is all about taking your own twist on a song through a remix, not stealing another person's work. Thankfully the people of youtube and soundcloud have been putting these stolen remixes out in open through comments and the posters remain silent. I hope that this continues and that people who steal music and put their own name on it get weeded out and put on public display.
I may start a rant like this once a week, not sure when though. I have one about rap music too, not sure when I can get it down though.
OK. Onto the music! Today's mashup comes to us from J Flash with a very good remix of Calling by Sebastian Ingrosso and Don't Stop Believing by Journey. They are mixed very well together and flow with the significance of an original song. I hope you enjoy it, and see you back here tomorrow for the next track!
