Fun week part III: Mash-ups
First, have you tried the neato super folding trick yet? Here's how it goes for those of you too lazy to click on my links:


Now to mash-ups. A mash-up is simply taking two or more songs and mixing them together to create something new. The first one I came across (quite by accident) is a whole album called The Beastles. Have you guessed what it could be? The Beastie Boys mixed with The Beatles. Its pretty heavy on the B-Boys, but with the mix of the Beatles you can't help but smile (at least as a B-Boys fan).
I haven't found a central source for these yet as they are underground and possibly illicit, so blogs and del.icio.us seem to be the way these things get around. Here is an article from Wired on mash-ups. And here is a guide to making mash-ups that I found interesting because it shows how the secret to doing a mash-up is syncing the beats.
What two groups would you want to make a mash of? How about Veggietales and Green Day?

I learned that folding trick in boot camp. It's likely more pleasant to learn it here...a little less stressful too :-)
