Pharcyde VS. War - “Passing My Friends”
This is an interesting Mashup. I heard the kids are into mashing things up today. I’m trying really super hard to be relevant on this tumblr, it’s important that people on the internet think that I’m cool. So check out this jammed up mash, its super hyphy, hope you totes enjoy, holla. I’ll just be over in the corner, crackin open a cold PBR between taking shots of Grey Goose and listening to mashups while I donate money to Obama on my iPhone.
I’m thinking this whole mashup deal has something to do with a culture that inhibits our ability to be creative. I’m going to blame our cultural redundancy on some evils I have picked out and bulleted BELOW.
- Computers make better copying machines than instruments of pure creation, they make it easy to copy and remix, so thats what we do.
- Fox News.
- Starbucks.
So last night I did Karaoke. And I busted out some remixes of my own. A rendition of “Strangers in the Night” was turned into “Strangers On Craigslist” (an improv ditty concerning casual encounters) on the fly. I’m pretty proud of myself and I’m sure Ol’ Blue Eyes would be proud.
Another song I did was Bon Jovi’s “Wanted: Dead or Alive”, I didnt mess with the lyrics too much, just humped things/people like a steel horse that I was in fact, riding. For the last two minutes of the song I just recited the color combinations for the easy guitar part in Rock Band…. Green, Orange, Orange, Orange, Red. Radical.
