OPEN CALL: MASHUPS

Ever since I heard Orbital's mashup featuring both Belinda Carlisle's "Heaven is a Place on Earth" and Bon Jovi's "You Give Love a Bad Name" (above) in high school, I've been smitten with the concept. I made an unintentional mash up once while playing Lil' Wayne when Pandora was open to the Monteverdi station (my feeble attempt to recreate this serendipity above). There are so many out there-- do you have any favorites? And while we are on the topic of music: watching Cyndi Lauper's AMA's performance from 1985 and then Beyonce's Billboard performance from 2011 is...eyeopening. I love both, but there is something so earnest about barefoot Cyndi taking out the red paintbrush from a heap of old shoes at ~2:45. Happy weekend!
