Tuesday Special: Mash Ups!

Hello

I first heard of mash-ups in (what do you know) my Psych of Creativity class and it was a very interesting concept!

From Wikipedia:
A mashup or blend (also mash up and mash-up) is a song or composition created by blending two or more songs, usually by overlaying the vocal track of one song seamlessly over the music track of another.

The examples below are pretty impressive! And honestly are pretty good, I kinda like them a lot.=) I'm not sure I'd necessarily choose a mash up over the original songs in its individual parts but this is an introduction to a whole new interesting genre of music. ^_^

GirlTalk

This guy was introduced to the class by the girl who spoke about mash-ups: are they creative or do they merely violate copyright laws? I'm not sure if he's necessarily a pioneer but he makes music that isn't jarring and I like that.^_^

Other interesting examples:

Amuro Namie x LL Cool J: Mash Up of Violet Sauce and Headsprung

All I could think of was: Damn Amuro Namie is hot for someone who's a mom. Omg. I want to be that hot when I'm her age. X__X
And this mash up is pretty damn good! I'm very impressed =P

Black Eyed Peas x Lady Gaga: Mash Up of My Humps and Pokerface

Doesn't this make one realize that all these clubbing tracks have very similar beats - probably why they can blend into each other so well?
I guess what's another impressive point about this particular youtube video is that it doesn't just blend the music, but also the video. ^_^"

Madonna x Hamasaki Ayumi: Mash up of Die Another Day and Tasking

Hmm. I can't really hear Ayumi's song but maybe it's just me...

Interesting? =X

cheers
