I haven't heard many music mashups before. Apparently there's a long and storied history of smushing together different songs in a way that isn't just a crappy remix version. Currently, "Glee" is making use of mashups and people are absolutely head over heels for it. (I guess all TV had to do was include popular music sung musical theater-style and the coveted 18-49 demo would be crazy in love). Anywho, I came across something wonderful when downloading the Scissor Sisters' albums the other month, and it was "No One Takes Your Freedom" by DJ Earworm. He routinely mixes "United States of Pop," which blends top 40 music each year. While I enjoyed those, they seem a little forced at times. "Freedom," on the other hand, feels like all these songs were just waiting to be put together into one epic anthem. In order, it combines "Take Your Mama" by the Scissor Sisters, "For No One" by the Beatles, "Freedom '90" by George Michael (the new one, not the Wham song), and "Think" by Aretha Franklin. The result is pretty awesome. (Then again, I am supremely biased since I adore the Scissor Sisters and George Michael). Take a listen below and decide for yourself.
