Brisk Walk: Soundtrack

[tamaranth]

Took my Zen Stone, packed with recent downloads, for a brisk walk in the sunshine: up over the hill, down onto Earlswood Common, and back through the woods and across the golf course. For some reason I haven't done this much lately, but it's good exercise and I actually focus on what I'm listening to.

Top Three Mashups

- Mr. Rusty Collective -- I Fell In Love With Snow White (Snow, "Legal", vs White Stripes, "Fell In Love With a Girl") ... via Puritan Blister, who is out of hibernation. Yes, yes, easy to mash anything with rap, but this works unusually well and had me bouncing through the mud. Check out the Collective's website, which has a delightfully retro media player.

- DJ Erb -- Soggy Bottom Gwen (Soggy Bottom Boys, "I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow", from O Brother Where Art Thou, mixed with Gwen Stefani "Hollaback Girl": sorry, that's a YouTube video, can't find track for free download any more, though you can get it for 27p on DJ Erb's site).

- ComaR -- Shut up on a Blue Monday (Rihanna, "Shut Up and Drive", vs New Order, "Blue Monday": actually I thought that was a deliberate, er, Hommage) .. also via Puritan Blister.

Bonus Original Stuff

Finding lots to like as I sample The Duke Spirit -- especially Lassoo.

I'm quite partial to the first Duke Spirit album; not staggeringly original but well done. I haven't heard any of the new stuff yet, I'll try to have a listen later.
