I love mash up music. Taking two great songs and mashing them together, what could be better than that? Okay, maybe a puppy/kitten combo but that’s it. Here are two of my favorites so far. First is the Beatles “Come Together” mixed with Nine Inch Nails “Closer”. It’s odd how well they work together considering how different they are.
The next is the best. Its a combination of the Beatles “Eleanor Rigby” and Green Day’s “Brain Stew”.
Yes, Rick Rolling is very 2007 but I just had to share this one. It makes me really like the song again. Oh Nine Inch Nails, is there nothing you can’t do?
I just recently tweeted about The Dead Weather but the more I listen the more I realize they deserve their own post. Anyone who likes a blues throwback sound should definitely check them out. So far my favorite song is “Will There Be Enough Water”. It seems like they are reaching back the the underground blues of the 50’s and pulling it right into the present.
Sadly though I don’t think they will last. The Dead Weather is another “super group” composed of different talents from other bands. Most notably Alison Mosshart of The Kills and Jack White of The White Stripes and The Raconteurs. Most super groups tend to break apart because each member already has one or two successful bands. Also the ego of so many super stars thrown together tends to create a volatile situation. Remember Velvet Revolver anyone? Great hard sound but just too much ego. Anyway, here is the video of The Dead Weather’s live performance of Will There Be Enough Water. Enjoy.
