mashups

This video, Steve’s Vinyl Chops, demos physical mashups – music collages created by physically chopping up records, reassembling them and then using them to DJ.

OK – this post is sure to bring out the Off Topic Police, but……

Britney Spears’ Toxic was a guilty pleasure a few years ago, and when you mash it up with Metallica, it only gets better.

The video, by Gold Greendot,  is a mixed-media stop motion music video and celebration commemorating the election and inauguration of Barack Obama as the forty-fourth president of the United States:

Showcasing Adam Freeland’s remix of Daft Punk’s “Aerodynamic” and the imaginative stylings of forward thinking toy artists Dalek, Bill McMullen and Kubrick, to name just a few. Independently animated and directed by the progressive minds of the directing team GOLD, the piece is a labor of love that invites everyone to join in or create their own celebration.
