After a brief hiatus (four weeks), I think it's about time that I start posting one of my favorite weekly blog posts. Regrettably, there hasn't been much that has been released lately that is...how should I put it?...noteworthy.
Norwegian Recycling released a new mashup last week, but it isn't as good as the tracks that he normally produces. Don't get me wrong. It's still pretty good, but just not at the "genius" level that I have come to expect from him in recent months.
SpareElbowSkin has released a couple of new tracks within the last month, or so. I really like his Katy Perry/Genesis mashup that he released on March 29th. I would normally post a video of that today, but I feel like I am starting to play favorites, especially since my last two posts focused on his music.
Instead, I started to do a Youtube search for mashups that included my favorite artists. Today, I found a couple of really impressive mixes that have Radiohead tunes as their base. I was quite a bit apprehensive when I first saw the descriptions of the songs. Conceptually, they sound like a nightmare, but they were pleasant surprises. In fact, the first one has become one of my favorite tracks to listen to.
The first track is taken from a site called MaxMashups.com. Unfortunately, since this was uploaded over two years ago, I can't find where the creator of the mashup was given credit. It's a mix of Radiohead's 'No Surprises', with Louis Armstrong's 'What a Wonderful World'. It's called 'What a Wonderful Surprise'. Indeed it is.
The second mashup of the day comes from Go Home Productions. It has, believe it or not, been floating around the channels of Youtube for more than three years now. It combines Radiohead's 'Karma Police', with The Beatles' 'A Day In The Life'. It's entitled 'Karma In The Life'. It narrows the song down to a manageable three and a half minutes, and takes out McCartney's lyrics from the song, which, in my opinion, never really should have been in there to begin with. It was if the two songs were made for each other. Peanut butter and jelly.
I hope you enjoyed the tracks. For one, I put the 'What a Wonderful Surprise' as a favorite on my Youtube list. It's that good.
