[Buy it]
The art of the mashup always brings to my mind that old adage about the hundred monkeys in a room with a hundred typewriters, except with these monkeys you'd better toss in a hundred copies of Kellis' "Milkshake" accapella.
I recently dipped back into the generously stocked waters of Get Your Bootleg On and landed these downbeat gems.
"Count It Out" is the first jazz bootleg I can recall hearing. The choice of source material isn't the most original, but looped and echoed about, the resulting instrumental holds together beautifully, in this jazz-tard's ears anyway.
"Keep Tomorrow Hanging" somehow warps Diana Ross over The Stereophonic's "Maybe Tomorrow" and gives fresh legs to two overplayed hits.
"Cherry Blossom Sk8er" combines Avril Lavigne's disgraceful teeny-tale "Sk8er Girl" and the bulletproof AIR song "Cherry Blossom Girl." This is guilty pleasure territory. Avril's misunderstood pipes are no match for Macy Gray though. I think I posted "Cherry Blossomed Demon" sometime last year.
And while I'm on the AIR tip, a sublime cover by Mazzy Star's Hope Sandoval that owes a great 6-string debt to Led Zeppelin's "Going to California."Labels: James
