(Google Image search result for "mashup" via Today and Tomorrow.)
Here's a few of my favourite mash-ups that've accumulated in my library. Some are ace party tunes (I Kissed A Banquet), some are the traditional blend of rap acapellas and instrumental rock tracks (Radiohead vs. MF Doom, Atmosphere vs. Silversun Pickups, R. Kelly vs. Rogue Wave), some are absolutley bonkers and should not, under any circumstances, work, but somehow do (Arcade Fire vs. Daft Punk?!). All of them are inspired, hopefully enjoyable songs, though, so check 'em out:
team9 vs. Stereogum - Killer Mirror (The Killers "Human" vs. Arcade Fire "Black Mirror")
Bloc Party vs. Katy Perry - I Kissed A Banquet
Kanye West vs. MGMT - Electric Touch (Touch the Sky vs. Electric Feel (Justice Remix)) (Mighty Mi/Steve1der Mix)
Radiohead vs. MF Doom - Change The Beat ft. MF Doom (Pz Wicked Child Remix)
The Hood Internet - Eddie Booksmart (Atmosphere vs. Silversun Pickups)
DJ Tatami - Arcade Punk (Arcade Fire vs. Daft Punk) - No Cars Around The World (No Cars Go vs. Around The World)
DJ Earworm - Reckoner Lockdown (Radiohead "Reckoner" vs. Kanye West "Love Lockdown")
The Hood Internet - R. Kelly (feat. Huey) vs. Rogue Wave - Endless Hookup
(Evidently Arcade Fire, Kanye and Radiohead are all extremely mash-up-able. Anybody up for a three-way?)
