Captain Obvious – Space Flowers (Miley Cyrus vs Sheila) (Sir Hank reboot)
This one has a long and chequered history, I almost didn’t post this here – it’s an accidental reboot. I heard an A vs B vs C using the Miley Cyrus – Flowers vs Sheila B Devotion’s Spacer combination by Spider. I later found a dead link to Sir Hank’s mashup but I looked and…

Padam Padam Twilight (Kylie Minogue vs ELO)
Trying to find good mashups of Kylie’s current hit ‘Padam Padam’ was like finding rocking horse shit – turns out it’s in a really odd key, well mode…C Mixolydian b6 which I thought was a Star Trek planet , aka ‘melodic major’ or aeolian dominant – or one of the Hindu Raga scales (that makes…

Lucretia’s Independence Day (America #4) (Martina McBride vs Sisters of Mercy)
Fourth in the American Trilogy (well it worked for Douglas Adams) I came across Martina McBride’s Independence Day and stopped in my tracks. New country is rarely my thing, but I was struck at how gothic/new wave it was, with it’s messages of domestic violence and independence via arson and death….cheery! I’m sure Goth Country…

Fifty Fifty vs Bangles & Miriam Makeba vs Moroder
From South Africa to South Korea, here’s a global selection of mashups from Captain Obvious and Instamatic using tracks from Fifty Fifty, Miriam Makeba, Giorgio Moroder & Phil Oakey & The Bangles. And a shedload of 80’s – yeah even more 80’s Boomer shit! First up is a track by Captain Obvious unusually not for…

The Only Safety Dance I Know (Men Without Hats vs Charlatans)
“If your friends don’t dance, then leave those friends behind…” They say ‘anger is an energy’ and ‘the best revenge is success’ so I took that anger (seriously was the 8th of May International Drama Day or something?!) and finished this mashup for the current Crumplbangers Challenge which is totally CanCon – and I didn’t…

ABBAstard & 4 new ABBA mashups
There aren’t enough ABBA mashups – despite the Bootie Mashup compilation from a few years ago and myself trying to plug that gap single–handedly! Rectifying this, a bunch of us corralled by iWillBattle have got together and created the ABBAstard album – 25 tracks from the likes of myself, Will, TheRandomSapphire, oki, DJ J-Brew, fnogg,…

Rainy Lovesong (Eurythmics vs The Cure)
Who knew Annie Lennox was a goth? I was never a massive Cure fan, but I was a big Eurythmics fan as a kid, and I think the darkness and goth side to their music is a bit lost in the shiny electro stylings, but it’s more evident in their earlier tracks like this one…

While My Flowers Gently Weep (Miley Cyrus vs The Beatles)
“We were right ’til we weren’tBuilt a home and watched it burn” Miley Cyrus – Flowers Sometimes a lyric hits me like a proverbial truck, last year it was “I’m the problem it’s me’, this year it’s this song…loving all the disco mashups of Flowers, but think it deserves the slow moody treatment, one like…
