TOTP - Top Ten Mashups From The Mashup Podcast

Ross, the brains behind The Mashup Podcast found at www.mashuppodcast.co.uk kindly sent us his top ten mashups. We've added links to the mashup artists websites (we couldn't possibly do links to the actual songs and artists), and there are plenty more tunes that you can check out:-

Did we mention if you go to www.firebox.com/topofthepods you'll get a whole five english pounds off anything on their web site?

I've been expat for 20 years and the word "mashup" is not one I recognise - is it the same as "cover version"? Linguistically I am beginning to feel my age...!!! :-(

mashup = a track of music in which two or more tracks have been put together, digitally, in the hopes that the whole sounds better than the individual tracks.

Think of individual tracks as breat and meat-based matter, and a mashup is a musical sandwich.

If you like your music remixed and mashed up, then have a look at People Like Us :

It's more audio-collage than mashup, but some of the tracks are really, really wonderful...

Great show you guys and nice list ross. My favourite mashup (it wasn't on this list) is "now I wont take your freedon". DJ earworm is a genius.

Just had Citylink deliver mine too, glad its my day off otherwise its a bit of a drive to the depot. Shame that ecommerce sites don't allow you to pick which company to use for delivery as that is a real gripe of mine when van drivers wont drop off next door or use any sort of common sense. Bazza, next time delivery address for work - we need to know how cool the helicopter is! I'm amazed how quick this came over, plus the great funky orange box it comes in too! As for the Airzooka - major major fun, highly recommended.

Oh - just remembered it was Gun who did the cover version of Word Up.

mashup podcasts are great, is there any mashups on the podsafe network?

Never tried mashups before, but some of these were strangely compelling. I must check some of these out when I get some spare time.

Loved the Ghostbusters 'find' with S Davis Jr ;-)

Rob, John,

Love the podcasts but the sound quality on the Mashup podcast was poor, if you do more music top 10's can you check the levels.

Thanks and my 1st list is on its way to you tonight.
