End Credits (Well Happier) (Billie Eilish vs Taylor Swift)
Rolling the credits on 2021…as Billie Eilish says, Fuck You to 2021. There was a Crumplbangers Discord challenge last week to make an ‘ending’ mashup for 2021 using only 2021 sources, so I decided to use two tracks I loved and actually only heard this year – Taylor’s Version of ‘All Too Well’ and Billie…

High & Dry Feeling (Bo Burnham vs Radiohead)
Lewis Wake’s has released ‘Outside’ a mashup album of songs from Bo’s moving (if tonally weird) Netflix special Inside. I was surprised my favourite song ‘That Funny Feeling’ wasn’t included (I like it so much it’s featured on the next podcast, the list show #2), so I’ve given it the Radiohead rock treatment. Again, a…

Driving Miss Crazy (Olivia Rodrigo vs Patsy Cline)
A track from last week’s Crumplbangers Discord Challenge, it made second place! And I think one of my best ones, The challenge was to use sources 60 years or more apart – this was almost exactly 60 bar a few months, 1961 vs 2021, Patsy Cline – Crazy vs Olivia Rodrigo – Driver’s License. I…

The Ride’s Momentum (Nils Frahm vs Bill Hicks)
Created for the Spoken Word challenge at Crumplbangers Discord, probably the first and only Nils Frahm mashup in existence? Some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question: “Is this real, or is this just a ride?” And other people have remembered, and they come back to us,…

Beginning <=> End (Boards & Black Crosses) (Boards of Canada vs Crosses vs Black Sabbath)
3rd place inthe Crumplbangers Discord ‘reverse’ challenge which was a hard one – use a reversed instrumental or acapella in a mashup. Not many things sound good reversed, and beats were a tricky issue…it was hard to get something listenable beyond 30 seconds of reversing, the novelty wears off fast. I’ve always wanted to work…

tbc – Helicon John (Beatles vs Mogwai)
I don’t usually do tribute mashups but was wanting to do something for the podcast to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the death of John Lennon, something with ‘In My Life’ and this popped out with Mogwai’s New Paths To Helicon 1 live at the BBC. Also includes clips from John Lennon RKO Interview on…

Old tracks revisited / reposted
As part of the big cupboard cleaning mentioned in the main post, I found some old tbc tracks, including a redo I did of one of my Boards of Canada tracks, Saturday Sunshine (2012 Retweak) (Boards of Canada ‘Hey Saturday Sun’ vs Roy Ayers ‘Everybody Loves the Sunshine’) which had a re-rub a few years…

tbc aka Instamatic – Her Breath Is The Wind (Rhiannon’s Breath) – Sia vs Fleetwood Mac
A rarity a new mashup from me…a sequel of sorts to the Golden Mirror this I think works better…it’s Fleetwood Mac – Rhiannon vs Sia’s Breathe Me, a simple A vs B but I think has a great ambient mood, and makes me think of birds and wind and welsh goddesses. tbc aka Instamatic –…

tbc aka Instamatic – the Golden Mirror (Elbow vs Fleetwood Mac)
Not sure if this should belong in the tbc or the Instamatic realm, it’s ambient so filed it under tbc. I’d thought I’d posted this, actually it was only posted on Twitter and Facebook just before I left for Egypt in November. This is a rarity for me – an Elbow bootleg (!) given my…

Requiem (Unforgiven Dead) Metallica vs Bon Jovi mashup
Although credited to Instamatic this really is a more tbc joint… ‘I didn’t mean nothin’ by it…just passing the time..’ A lullaby of sadness, anger and lost time, via Metallica’s The Unforgiven and Bon Jovi’s Wanted: Dead or Alive, via For a Few Dollars More and No Country for Old Men. Instamatic aka tbc –…
