Oh man. Oh man oh man oh man.
I got sent the link to download Wu Orleans today. What, exactly, is Wu Orleans? Oh, you know, just the coolest mashup I've heard in a really long time, probably since The Grey Album. (If you don't know what The Grey Album is, it was a mashup done by DJ Dangermouse -- of Gnarls Barkley fame -- where he mixed the Beatle's White Album with Jay-Z's Black Album. It's really, really good, I suggest you check it out.) Anyhoo, Wu Orleans is various Wu-Tang songs mixed with Dixieland music in order to create some of the most unusual tunes I've heard in a while.
You can download the whole album here: http://djbc.net/mashes/wu/ or you can download a song to listen to here: http://djbc.net/mashes/wu/WhentheMethComesMarchingIn.mp3 which will allow you to download it from that site.
Thanks David!
Another song worth mentioning is Nelly Furtado's "Afraid". I know, I know, Nelly doesn't really reveal my hardcore side, but it really is a cool song. The only version I could find of it online (because it isn't her single) was some video some kids made. The other choice on YouTube was this guy dancing around in Eurotrash sunglasses. I figured this was the better of the two.
I love how Justin Timberlake is trying to shed his boyband image. That's okay with me, as I, admittedly, (being a red-blooded American female and all) am a Timberlake fan. However, there was something that struck me as familiar about one of his promo photos. Hmm...
It looks errily familiar to Mos Def's cover art for his CD, The New Danger, that came out last year. Tres Interresante, non?
Ok, well I've got guitar soon... I'm super out of practice. We'll see how that goes.
