Mash-ups & covers
I almost feel dirty posting this after it has already been Boing Boinged, but I keep turning people on to it, proving that a) Boing Boing does not yet totally rule the universe, and b) I can continue making myself seem cool by slavishly propagating any hip new thing from Boing Boing for a few more months at least. This is the highly vaunted Scissor Sisters / Beatles / Aretha Franklin / George Michael mash-up that is pretty much the neatest thing to come along since the invention of Kleenex. Get more mash-ups from DJ Earworm here.

People also tend to go nuts over this Beastie Boys / Beatles mash-up, which I first heard on Said the Gramophone. This is not from that DJ BC presents the Beastles mash-up album, which actually has a much inferior mash-up of these same exact tracks ("Pass the Mic" by the Beasties, and "The Word" by the Beatles). Rather, this is the far superior mash-up that is much of the ass-kicking.
And finally, as long I'm dedicating this post to the general topic of "stuff other people posted about eight years ago", here's an interesting take on an old familiar classic. More info about the group can be found here.
These and other fine, fine tracks can be heard on Comfort Radio - kid tested, mother approved. See you next week.

Hi,
If anybody knows (and has this track) you will. I'm looking for AVENUE A "SWING IT BACK" (used in the Bailey's Irish Crème TV commercial). Anyway problem is I can't find it only in any store (no, wait Amazon has a listing for a used copy for $95.00!!!). Anyway any info on this track, like maybe where i can find it would be just great! I wouldn't mind a downloadable track if you're asking. Thanks much

i don't have it. however, i found the LP for $22.50 here: http://www.groovedis.com/stock.asp
and if you want a 22k stream of about 1 minute of the track, open this url in your local windows media client:

beyond that, you're on your own. sorry!

me again and yes, you should always read what you write before you submit it. Anyway, comments on todays music- Bjorkestra is (how to say it and be polite?) nice and yet a bit scary. Thanks for the mashups they're great (or at least better then the original). By the way I meant that I can't find the track online anywhere. 10 minutes to go wish I could listen to Comfortradio in my car, sigh. Great weekend!

I would love to get my hands on both the DJ BC presents the Beastles mash-up album, and the Goddam Guest - Pass The Word mashup.
Can anyone hook me up?
Shoot me an email. My name @ my domain.
