A few of us over at ALDJ have been discussing this, so wanted to see what you guys think.

Are Mash-Ups tacky?

Theres shedloads of bootleg mash-ups online, and lots of them suck.
But the good ones, even the good ones, are they kool, or tacky?

What you think?

I liked them at first, but IMO they've gone the way of EQ kills, filter sweeps and trance...

mash-ups are an old fart..

the trick is over..

never really liked it either..

"Christina Aguilera vs The Strokes - A Stroke of Genie" was great though..

The Grey Album was the only one I heard that was solid, but I'm not even sure if it qualifies?

Mash-Ups are Tha Bomb Yo!

When a KFC commercial has "Sweet Home Alabama" with scratching and heavy drums over it, you know it's dead.

Radiohead vs. Tom Babicz - 'Packt Like Organic Sardines In A Crushd Tin Box' Boogie

is my favorite.

Mash-ups were so tomorrow.

All that I can say. I never like 'em.. Never will.

So, yes.

I think that they can be entertaining, sometimes pretty funny, they can be an escape from being too serious about tracks, more about fun than musical masterpiece to me.
