Whee!

Mere hours after downloading a relatively obscure song by the Passion Puppets (see previous post), I find a mashup site with a mashup featuring that very song. And then I find this Project Opus page with Passion Puppets songs I never heard before (along with two I have). I love the internet so very much tonight.

had to look up mashup on google . . .

Well, since I was talking about music, a better definition would probably be one involving tunes. :-)

The best way to get an idea of what mashups are is to listen to a few, preferably some that were made out of songs you know. DJ Earworm has a mashup made up of the 25 most popular songs of 2007. (Further down the page, "What's My Name" is also a really impressive one.)

If you didn't listen to new music that much recently, you could try looking at a list like this one to see what you might recognize and check out a track or two. Track 6 combines songs by the Rolling Stones, Queen, and Nirvana, so I'm sure you've heard the songs it's made up of before!

thanks for the reply!

i mostly listen to new age music on launchcast . . .

while my wife and i are busy on our puters . . .

sort of electronic valium.:)

i listened to the mashup by dj earworm. it didn't do much
for me.

sometimes i listen to player from:
http://www.playlist.com/

on my myspace profile(may be a challenge to dial-up):
http://www.myspace.com/bearybipolar

but it's flawed because you have to update it all the time--
which i don't any more.;P
