Barbie Dream Girls Just Wanna Have Fun (Cyndi Lauper vs FIFTY FIFTY vs Aqua)
Loving Fifty Fifty’s new track ‘Barbie Dreams’ for the new film, so had to mash it with Cyndi Lauper’s ‘Girls Just Wanna Have Fun’ and of course, Aqua’s track which was used in the trailer. I reckon in about a week the world – at least the LGBTQ* parts – will go totally pink, given…

All By My Vampire (Olivia Rodrigo vs Eric Carmen)
I usually only do mashups where I like least one of sources I like, for very good reason. Mashes like this are why…I have got to the ‘post it or delete it’ stage. I want it out of my sight, for good. Sometimes doing a mashup will sell me on a track, I will grow…

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…

New DJNoNo album – Interval
Interval is a new album focusing on Intermission and Interlude music such as the Potter’s Wheel and Pages from Ceefax and visual mid-program intervals such as Tony Hart’s Gallery. These breaks in film, TV and radio broadcast were before 24 hour programming often included library or production music and are the precursor of the modern…

DJNoNo – Interlude (Crumplstock 11 set)
DJNoNo’s interlude Set for Crumplstock 11 for the upcoming Interval Album, the sequel to 2015’s Ballroom which will be released next week. There might be some changes to these tracks before then, so it’s a time capsule of probably the fastest album ever in DJNoNo’s career (all of these tracks plus a few more were…

Summertime Leviathan (Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong vs Everything Everything)
And now a summer track from this years Summer Booty. Summertime is one of my favourite songs, it’s strangely in a minor key for a summer track, a blues for summer…there’s a disquieting feel about it. Even the off-kilter strings that suggest a heat shimmer but also something less sunny. So it pairs really well…

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…

New Partygate ABBA Party At No. 10 video
Now the footage of one of the illegal Partygate parties has finally leaked – now we can have a video for DJNoNo’s political mashup ABBA Party At No. 10.! It’s topical again with all the fallout of Boris Johnson resigning and the dodgy honours list (which honoured several people in the video) …and will probably…

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…

Million Reasons I Don’t Like Mondays (Lady Gaga vs Boomtown Rats)
“Every heartbreak makes it hard to keep the faith” Your Monday theme song! Inspired by an old ToTom mashup – Lady Gaga’s Million Reasons vs a piano version of Gary Numan’s Down By The Park, I have been obsessed belatedly with the Gaga song. the lyrics resonate deeply with me at the moment. It seems…
