Must Watch - Must Listen: Tarzan Rain

You may remember or you may not, but in one of my flashbacks (that I haven't done in a while), I featured a song titled Tarzan and Boy by Baltimora.  It was actually a club song from the late 80's, early 90's - a one hit wonder to say the least.  Well today I came across an odd mashup..

Adele vs. Tarzan.  I know, I know, my thoughts exactly.  But it does sound pretty good.  The Reborn Identity mashed up Set Fire to the Rain with the 80s New Wave dance hit.  Take a look, and listen.

Must Watch: Lionel Richie’s 'Hello' Re-Created with Movies

Seriously?  Who has time to do these videos? LMAO.  Remember that video I posted last week of President Obama singing Lady Gaga's "Born This Way"?  

Well... we're back for round two.  And this time it's Lionel Richie's "Hello" re-created with movie clips.  Check it out, it's pretty darn funny, but cool nonetheless.  Thanks for sharing Sean Hodges!

TV Theme Song Medley

Haha, I absolutely enjoyed watching and listening to this video.  Koren Ensemble has mashed up more than 15 television theme songs in under 2 minutes and it actually sounds really good.  Can you name them all?  I loved how they spliced in Dexter's theme.  It was great!

The Koren Ensemble is a team of artists, Based in NYC, producing original theatrical content, featuring contemporary music, video, and comedy.

United State of Pop (World Go Boom) 2011

Not sure how many of you remember the United State of Pop (Don't Stop The Pop) mashup put together by DJ Earworm in 2010, but he recently uploaded his 2011 version, United State of Pop (World Go Boom).  It's a mashup of the 25 biggest hits during 2011 in the U.S.

You Tube Description:

It doesn't match Billboard's U.S. year-end list, since I'm basing it off of the weekly lists this year in order to more reflect what was actually popular during 2011. Because of the Billboard's early cut off date and their emphasis on chart longevity, songs that are released after August are either split between the two years or moved to the next year. I also don't want a track appearing two years in a row just because it happened to be peaking right at the cutoff. From my perspective, a song for a year-end mix belongs in the year it will be remembered from, not the year it ended its run. For instance, "We Found Love", which has been #1 for the last 8 weeks of the year, is nowhere to be seen in Billboard's Top 25, and may not make it next year either due to the bias of the cut-off date. As a bonus I am able to spend more time on the mixes and more fully realize them.

And for those who missed out on 2010's mashup, you can check out the video after the jump...

Blade's Box of Jams: Track #9 - Psychosocial Baby

Currently listening to... 

Slipknot vs. Justin Bieber

If you never thought that a Justin Bieber song could sound so good, then you haven't heard this mashup of Slipknot and the Beebs.  I posted this on Facebook around March or so, and I had to post it again.  I have also added it to Blade's Box of Jams.

Isosine from YouTube put this amazing mashup together, and I'd have to say it sounds really fantastic! 

Isosine, also known as Steven Nguyen, was born into a Vietnamese family in the Regent Park projects in Toronto, Ontario. He led a very hard life, baking and selling crack cocaine with his crew at the tender age of four. On his sixth birthday, his father died, a tragic event that has impacted him for the rest of his life. A family friend, Lenny Chilelli helped out his mother, but he himself had a little daughter to raise, so his sustenance couldn’t carry on for long.

You can read more about Isosine on his Facebook page.

Now Here's a Mashup Worthy of a World Tour!

Justin Bieber and Slipknot on tour together, now wouldn't that be a sight to behold?  It's amazing what you find on the internet these days, because without it, we'd be clueless.  I'll be honest, most of the time I skim through a video so I can review it, and then blog about it.  Not this time!  I was simply mesmerized by the amazing sound and sat through the whole darn thing.  It was actually quite good.

You don't believe me? Turn up the volume and enjoy!  It's Psychosocial Baby ~

A Totally Awesome Born This Way Remix

Truly a magical gem, DJs from Mars has created a remix for the ages.  They took Amii Stewart's beats from the very popular 60's song, "Knock on Wood," and blended it with Lady Gaga's, "Born This Way."  

Who's knocking on who's door now?  Take that, and express your-f*king-self is what I have to say.

Mashup of the Day!

What do you get when you add a teaspoon of Robyn, a snippet of LaRoux, an ounce of Whitney and a dash of Taylor Swift? A really awesome mashup! Check out the video...
