Guess who's back, back again. After I put together "VS" I spent quite a while hunting down more mashups and at the time none of my friends knew about them. I thought maybe I'd put together a couple more collections of the good ones since hunting had shown me that 90% of the mashups I found online were mediocre to poor. But if I was going to put out more of these compilations I thought I'd do one of my own for each album I released, there was the hangup. I started working on a followup to the obvious mashup "Ice Under Pressure" again with Vanilla Ice and Queen, just to see if these two could mix without a bassline ripoff, just to piss off the Queen fans. "Ninja Rhapsody" was proving harder to mix than I thought so I wound up cobbling together a different mashup at the zero hour, "8 Miles Of Constant Sorrow" between Eminem and The Soggy Bottom Boys from the movies "8 Mile" and "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" Some notions, who knows where they come from?
BONUS TRACK: Again with the "bonus track." Let's talk about my anal retentive tendencies ... again, I didn't want to repeat artists on this disc but I could not decide between the two "Ghostbusters" mashups so I went ahead and broke that rule and put them both on there, but decided I would bookend the album with the two versions. The "no repeats" rule was also broken by the last-minute addition of my Eminem mashup when he was already on the Dre/U2 track, but who really cares? When all was said and done there was more room on the CD for another short song and I found "That's It Mario." I should have put it earlier on the disc but since it ends with the lines "that's it, that's all, that's all there is" I thought it was an appropriate close to the album, but putting it on the last track ruined the bookends of Ghostbusters mashups. So "Milkshakebusters" is the last track, and "Mario" is a bonus track. That's my cold Vulcan logic. | |
