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…

Don’t Start Plastic Love (Dua Lipa vs New Order vs Donna Summer)
I did this Dua Lipa vs New Order and Donna Summer mashup for the Crumplbangers Challenge – it didn’t even get a honorary mention, tumblweed as usual 🙁 The challenge was Indie vs Mainstream and New Order are definitely classically indie (Factory band; this was released on Mute); but I suspect Plastic isn’t the sort…

Captain Obvious – Only 80s Ghosts Again (Yazoo vs Depeche Mode)
Ahh the ‘OOK* 80’s Bootlegs’ that Sowndhaus is apparently famous for! Everyone is making Ghosts Again mashups, so thought I’d have a go. Yes this is so obvious it’s Captain Obvious, but I’ve never made a Yazoo mashup so neh. And it’s an era mashup, indie 80’s versus modern 80’s corporate-ish pop (DM are on…

Rich White Straight Men’s Money (Kesha vs Pink Floyd vs ABBA)
OK for some reason I decided to do the latest Crumplbanger Challenge set by Titus Jones on Hard Mode, cos I forgot that Pink Floyd’s Money is in 7/4. Probably the only 7/4 track in this challenge….and also only my second Kesha mashup ever (WAAAAY back in the day I did one where she guested…

I Wouldn’t Run Up That Hill (Kate Bush vs Alan Parsons Project)
Groovy Prog Funk Robot Disco Kate Bush anyone? I am going to get a reputation for all these prog boots, I am actually a punk at heart but I love Alan Parson Project’s I Wouldn’t Want To Be Like You – a sort of angry rock disco jam that’s so funky. Check those ride cymbals!…

Happy Fake Plastic New Year (ABBA vs Radiohead)
EDIT: New video as well! – the YouTube got blocked cos weirdly ABBA are OK with mashup/fan videos but Radiohead is not? Not for Fake Plastic Trees, anyhoos. And I thought I did enough intercutting…sigh. So currently in Dispute Hell, not a good start to the year. So here’s the Vimeo. HAPPY NEW YEAR! And…

Dorothea from Hackensack (Taylor Swift vs Fountains of Wayne)
Over 2 years ago Adam Schlesinger died, and I was gutted since Fountains of Wayne were a bit part of my post-Britpop comedown listening (less Stacey’s Mom, more Radiation Vibe). And their best song was never a single, it was a later album track called Hackensack – even Katy Perry covered it! So I was…
