I’m a fan of mashups just everyone else. Audiobytes For Autobots is a charming new addition to the scene (anyone with a penchant for sampling the Talking Heads that much is o.k. with me). The new Girl Talk is enjoyable enough, a bit of a retread of the same concepts…but fun none the less. We could even trace it back to 2 Many DJ’s if you feel like digging through to the vintage.
But, in these modern times, we need more mashups. This year has seen the release of The Cool Kids debut EP Bakesale, another fantastic feat of Chicago hip-hop. This fun bit of minimalist hip-hop shares the same title as 1994’s proto-indie classic Sebadoh release. See what I’m getting at?
Someone needs to bring the two together. Now, my song chopping skills are intensely rusty otherwise I’d screw this up myself. Instead, I’m reaching out to you, Internet, to take on the task. There’s got to be someone out there with the time and the chops to mix some of Lou Barlow’s manic lyrics with the sparse beeps and claps from Chuck Inglish’s production.
Pretty please?
There’s even 2 mp3’s down here to get the ball rolling.
I look forward to what you have to offer, Anonymous Internets.
