Loving Mashups

Posted by Pow-Low Labels: , , , ,

As some of you may know I'm a big lover of the Mashup - but what you hear in the clip below should freak you out in one way or another.

Much like the idea of Lady Gaga actually being a Lady, I'm on the fence about mashing Gaga with Nirvana.

Purely from a sound perspective, it's a great mashup - although I loathe the Gaga song.

But its even more effed up when you think about how these two genres really don't belong together musically. The creators of Grunge meet the creator of the face boa.

The only thing these two artists would've done together is eachother or an 8ball.

  1. Just a heads up that EMI turned off the sound to this. Effing weirdos. For an amazing documentary re: mashups and digital rights, checkout http://www.nfb.ca/playlist/rip-remix-manifesto/

  2. Mashups are, for me, the one of the most interesting products of human creativity with social media.
    I'd love to see more of these popup!
