I’m not usually a big fan of mash-ups but I was listening to the Colin Murray show on Radio 1 last week, on it he played one called “Andrew Fights for his Right to Party Hard” this is a superb mixture of “Party Hard” by Andrew W.K and “Fight for your Right to Party” by the Beastie Boys. After a bit of Internet investigation I found this mash-up was created by TiM G. Unfortunately it seems the spoilsports at MTV have prevented him from offering his tracks to download. They’ve even gone as far as having the video removed from youtube, its mash-up for gods sake you chumps!

Another Mash-up worthy of mentioning is Sexymassive Black Hole, which is a combination of J.T’s “Sexy Back” and Muse’s “Supermassive Black Hole”. There is a link to download this on The Sound of No Hands clapping, which is an excellent blog in general for music info and album downloads.

I’m very excited that a new Bright Eyes album titled Four Winds in scheduled for release on March 6th 2007. I was a huge fan of Bright Eyes last two albums “I’m wide it’s Morning” and “Digital Ash in a Digital Urn” which were released in the Tandem in 2005. There is an annoying trick on the Bright Eyes promotional site, you have to sign-up for the mailing list before you can download the new track. Here’s a direct link to download the track Endless Entertainment. Also here’s a link to the Bright Eyes page on Salle Creek where you can download more tracks from his back catalogue.
