Wow. Thanks, Jamie. If I can let my inner music geek out to play for a sec (and where else can I do that if not here?), I love this stuff. LOVE it. I have no idea why, except maybe it indicates to me that some people hear music the same way I do -- it's all one big song, and jamming things together is just natural.
At the end of the second side of The Residents' THIRD REICH N ROLL album, when they overlap the "na na"s from the end of "Hey Jude" over the "hoo hoo"s from "Smypathy for the Devil" -- well, to me, that's revalatory, even though it's a little bit scary. I'd play it for friends, and they'd think I was insane for being so excited about something so weird and boring.
Somebody did a mix of Paul Oakenfold's "Starry Eyed Surprise" and did a collision with Nilsson's "Everybody's Talkin'," from which Oakenfold sampled. I love that more than the Oakenfold song, which I liked a lot.
So as folks here come across this kind of stuff, if you want to forward it to the list or to me personally, I'd be one happy little goofball.

>The latest music trend in Europe and some of the more trendy clubs in the
USA is to take diametrically opposed hit records and blend elements together
to create a song. (like marrying Michael Jackson's "Billy Jean" and Steely
Dan's "Do It Again")
Go Home Productions (www.gohomeproductions.co.uk) has been very successful
at this.
The latest curio is this collision of The Beatles' "Paperback Writer" and
The Monkees' "I'm A Believer".
