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…

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…

ABBA Party At Number 10 (Kid Kapichi vs ABBA)
Given ex-PM’s Boris Johnson’s speech at the Partygate inquest, DJNoNo got so any angry he made this mashup! He didn’t take part with ABBAstard so felt left out. One of the illegal parties at No. 10 during lockdown which PM probably attended breaking his own COVID regulations was a party, blasting the Swedish foursome at…

Souvenir Walls – LiBianca vs OMD & Suzanne Vega vs Radiohead
Left of Centre, Wondering About You – or not in the case of the LiBianca track where her friends didn’t think of her at all – an afrobeat plea for considering the mental health of your friends, that theme seems to cross these two mashups. And yes, more 80’s! It’s hard to get a decent…

SOPHIE & Dorian Electra new Hyperpop mashups
And continuing the Hyperpop challenge from DJNoNo’s last post, here are two more from that sad songs vs hyperpop challenge, a little like Unhappy Hardcore or Hardcure – the Foreigner vs Dorian Electra won that challenge! And I am very proud of the Carpenters vs SOPHIE one. WINNER of the Crumplbangers Challenge! And the second…

DJNoNo has been busy with a menagerie of mashups for challenges – and even an AI video! A Creepy Blackbird gets a drum and bass treatment via The Beatles and GFOTY, and Crazy Frog meets Blondie and Fleetwood Mac. This was the first entry to the Sad vs Hyperpop challenge – it’s GFOTY’s hyperpop cover…

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…
