Before I start to focus my posts solely on the long term negative ramifications of the current duopoly that is running this country, I want to at least acknowledge one of the things that makes happy – namely good music.
\nAs William Congreve<\/a> wrote in “The Mourning Bride,” music has charms to soothe the savage beast. One of the types of music I love is the mashup genre, though only when a mashup is done right. The Judgment Night soundtrack.<\/a>\"\" The Chef Aid album.<\/a>\"\" The Grey Album.<\/a>\"\" Girl Talk’s Night Ripper<\/a>\"\" Feed the Animals<\/a>\"\" (the latest I didn’t love his latest one so much). All of these I would consider great mashups.
\nNow, I want to add the rap-collective Doomtree’s “Wugazi”<\/a> project to the mix. They have put out a single called “Sleep Rules Everything Around me”<\/a> which is a mashup of the Wu-Tang Clan’s “C.R.E.A.M.” and Fugazi’s “I’m So Tired.” It was released online yesterday and it already has had almost 24,000 plays. On July 13, Wugazi’s album “13 Chambers” is expected to drop – the title itself is a mashup of the Wu’s seminal “Enter the 36 Chambers” and Fugazi’s “13 Songs” album titles. Based on the way that “Sleep Rules Everything Around Me” sounds, I believe it will be as Johan van der Smut, aka Goldmember put it, “tight like a tiger!”
\nCheck out the song below (if it doesn’t play, don’t blame me, blame Steve Jobs because you are probably on some sort of Apple machine):
