Now them's what I call mashups. You might also enjoy <a href="http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2007/05/sixty_second_so.html">these one minute or less remixes of various songs</a>. My favourite is <a href="http://blogfiles.wfmu.org/KF/2007/01/one/Jerod_Freitag_-_Stagger_Lee.mp3">this version</a> of <cite>Stagger Lee</cite> by Nick Cave. I also enjoyed <a href="http://blogfiles.wfmu.org/KF/2007/01/one/Mickey_Mephistopheles_-_Take_One.mp3">Take One</a> (a version of Dave Brubeck's <cite>Take Five</cite>). Or how about the whole of <a href="http://blogfiles.wfmu.org/KF/2007/01/one/Mofobaru_-_OK_Computer_in_60_Seconds_FULL_LP.mp3">OK Computer in 45 seconds</a> (wait for the hilarious ending).</p> <p>Martin Denny performing <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJK2LwD_nEY">Quiet Village</a>. Class.</p> <p>In fact, just go and read <a href="http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/mp3s/index.html">this fantastic radio station blog</a> I stumbled across where these and many other nuggets came from.</p> http://townx.org/blog/elliot/john-cage-super-cool#comments music misc Thu, 07 Jun 2007 16:48:08 -0500 elliot 644 at http://townx.org
