o know me is to know that I love music. Not all kinds, but quite a few different artists and genres. I have some super music sleuth friends who are always coming up with new and unique artists to expose me to, which I greatly appreciate! And I do very little actual radio listening to find new artists; iTunes fulfills that role for me most days, and a little Pandora thrown in for good measure...Of course, there's more than just music or songs, in and of themselves. With the amazing technology available to DJs, song "mash ups" are quite common--a combination of songs that together make a new one. The TV show Glee featured a number of great mashups in their first season, especially in one episode where the boys face off against the girls. The boys combined "It's My Life" with "Confessions Pt. 2" and the girls did a "Halo/Walking on Sunshine" combo. Kinda cool.
The two following videos take the concept even further by combining the top 25 songs of the year into one song. It's pretty wild. If you go to DJ Earworm's site, there's even a color coded lyric chart that shows which lyrics came from which song for the 2009 video.

In a way, I prefer 2008's mash up to 2009's. Not quite sure why, but my niggling irritation at anything related to Lady Gaga might have something to do with it. But each year has artists I'm not so fond of (Mariah Carey, anyone?)...
Enjoy!

Ugh. I don't understand the Lady Gaga thing either. Never been a Mariah Carey fan. And while I don't mind *listening* to Madonna, every time I see her I want to scream PUT SOME PANTS ON, WOMAN!
ReplyDeleteI love music too. It is one of the things that can fill me up with happiness and joy within seconds.
ReplyDeleteI thought both of the compilations were good but 2009 blended together a little better.
Thanks for sharing! :)
I am working on separating the artist from the work. There are so many talented people out there but some are not people I would desire as a mentor!
