Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I really like "Knock Out Eileen".

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'm liking "Enter Telephone" (Gaga/Metallica) and "Jump You Fucker" (Van Halen/ Ceee Lo).

"Knock Out Eileen" and "Enter Telephone" were both quite popular at the house this morning. Listening to "Jump You Fucker" right now (AIFG)!
I find the ones I like most are the ones where I'm familiar with all the sources. So much of the enjoyment of mashups is that ooooh! moment where you marvel at how well the pieces blend.

"Imagine A Jump" (Van Halen vs. John Lennon) is pretty great, although not exactly Bootie material.

Oh, wow, "Virgin O'Reily" from the Bootie site is pretty awesome, too.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I love Bootie. Their mashups are brilliant.
I dreamed last night that I was hanging out with MCR. I choose to believe that means I will see them live at least once this coming year.
