i'm really into these things called "mashups" now

Most perfect mashup I've heard for ages:

Just SB me.

^ better than i expected tho

"perfect mashup," an oxymoron for our age

That Nirvana one pisses me off because there's obv no such thing as a Nirvana instrumental, so dude just used the karaoke version

Dude might as well have just uploaded a YouTube of himself singing the rick astley song over Teen Spirit at karaoke night fwiw tbh tbqf

you sure are whiney!

I thought we'd talked about DJ Schmolli here on ILM, but it was probably in the comments section of old-Idolator now that I think about it. His Iron Maiden/Monkees one last summer was great, but I just found his latest one:

wait, are mash-ups the new re-edits now??

This is blowing my mind....

these are my two favorites:

The mashup of the Hives' "Hate to Say I Told You So" with Lisa Left Eye Lopes' "The Block Party" is not on YouTube, but trust me it is AWESOME.

was at a bbq last summer and the dj played "single ladies" over "sweet georgia brown", fit just perfect.....

This is one of my favorites:

Futuro - Breathe With Me Til Dawn (Pink Floyd vs. Judie Tzuke)

Accidentally mashing up the resident Comateens videos on youtube with Ziegfeld Follies of 1936 on Spotify. FIgured skot might appreciate the former if not the latter.

bill mcclintock is amazing at this http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6C3PX8hLzueaPWW9nmT85w/videos

I forgot mashups existed.

That Deep Purple/Bee Gees one is quite impressive, given that it subtracts little from either track.

my world is empty without you, maneater = A+

I forgot mashups existed.

Vanessa Paradis vs. Slayer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3lKOt33dTg

Was there a mashups POX thread on ilm? I can’t find it.

Anyhoo... this is a top 5 for me:

ELVIS & THE WAILERS - crying in the chapel

guys

^ possibly the greatest mashup i've ever heard

Our Alice was asking about a song she dimly remembered. Something about "We do what we like and we like what we do"

That'd have to be the beasties mashup w/ Andrew WK, played them it a fair bit back in the day..

xpost Wow, that's one of the better ones I've heard, at the very least since his mash-up of "Disco Inferno" and "Dragula."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kcie6qQL8ls

Holy shit

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnrfqPoX4WU

“Raining Lobsters” is incredible!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYNSSkOOTBk

OMG at Raining Lobster and Bad Mother

holy shit i don't even know the Slayer song but "Raining Lobsters" is really something

More discussion of recent mashups in TikTok and elsewhere in this twitter thread by adjunct music professor and writer

our next unit in technomusicology is on mashups. i know mashups are like way over as a zeitgeist, but they still crop up from time to time. what's the best recent mashup you've encountered?

still trying to wrap my head around this one

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EotYv9eJCw

These guys are still at it, doing a year-by-year thing:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uXDh_Ghdso

those year-by-year mashups are pretty well-done! having "Da Funk" to lean on as a foundation is kind of stacking the deck, but still.

my only beef is how much they pitch-shift the angelic, indelible backing vocals from a certain Van Halen classic in the 1979 one. i'd bend everything else to match those, dammit!

This might be the best example I’ve seen yet of an Ilx thread started on the upswing of a trend that is hilarious when seen a decade later, cf “Spotify: anyone heard of it?” et al

lol

metallica/huey lewis one has me dying. stitching together the cheesy arena show footage works incredibly well!

"walrus" also really tickling me yeah

nah, the thread title always read like that - it was six years after Boom Selection / the crest of the upswing, and five years after cover versions of mash-ups were going #1 in the UK.

guys.... some of this stuff is incredible

"This might be the best example I’ve seen yet of an Ilx thread started on the upswing of a trend that is hilarious when seen a decade later, cf “Spotify: anyone heard of it?” et al"

haha, this was me being silly. i heard one mashup i liked while drunk and needed to start a revival. i knew everyone here had become totally sick of them. but there will always be good ones. that slayer lobster one is excellent!

Those would kill at the funk 45s sockhop dj night, do they still have those? Love hearing those New Orleans funk breaks.

xp

I've always wondered if there are any tricks to help make videos sync to the audio in the mashups when there might be thousands of alterations, pitch shifting, tempo nudging to the original audio. Do they just do the slog work of re-tuning each clip manually? Do they work with video files to make the mashups in the first place?

I've been getting back into making these now AI can strip vocals out of tunes so easily. Latest creation is Rayana Jay 'Last Call' over the Cardigan's jazzy take on Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. Works far better than it should, even the saxophone from the RJ track :)

*Cardigans' ffs autocorrect

Yes I was the first person to tell Neil about the Rock Band stems, back in 2008.

The person who does my album covers and who would be a great ILXor if I could convince them to post here, Logan Postumous, does good mashups under the name of Timsvb.
