Steel Toed Cowboy Boots

A year or so ago my good friend (and one of my favorite mashup producers) Fissunix put together a great compilation of Hard Rockin' Mashups which he called "Heavy Metal Mashups Vol. 1 - Sabbath Bootie Sabbath Mix". I totally meant to share it here in the Pit, and we even had a great discussion about future volumes. Here we are a year later, and volume 2 is now out and I still haven't posted Vol 1 - until now.

First I would like to share his latest Kiss mashterpiece. And should the metal get to be a bit much for you (after two hours it might for some of the young folk out there who didn't grow up on the sh!t like I did) I have another set of cowboy boots - minus the spurs!

Let these boots kick the crap out of your ears like they did to mine. Get some swabs, your ears are gonna bleed!

I Own Nothing But Smoke In Heaven

Coming in at number nine, for no real easily explained reason, is Fissunix and his awesome bootleg of Marvin Gaye's "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" mashed with the Gramatik instrumental remix "Stairway to Hip Hop Heaven". Amazing. The video is equally impressive. Fissunix is one of my favorites, and choosing 5 songs was brutally hard. Luckily I have a few ideas I'm working on for the near future, so I already have a number of his tunes earmarked for later... All the songs can be played from the playlist at the bottom, if you prefer to skip the videos.

Swing Sultans My Way

Today I am in the mood for a little Dire Straits. First up is a Swingin' Sultan sandwich - with instrumentals for the bread, and a down-tempo acapella for the filler. To wash it down I have a two-course desert!

Let's kick it off with the Mashup Master known as Go Home Productions (Mark Vidler). The man is amazing. Check out his download's page if you have a day or two to spare (and a mind left to be blown!) He definitely is one of the best. Not only does he do great audio mashups, but he is just as good with the videos. Add an abundance of talent for performing and producing music on his own, and your looking at the ideal recipe for perfection in the art of The Mashup.

Go Home Productions - I Can't Stand Sultans Of Swing
http://youtu.be/vDf0j3SEseU - mp3 - Dire Straits "Sultans of Swing" vs The Police "I Can't Stand Losing"

The filler for this little "mashwich" is an interesting down-tempo mash from COTXETXE (don't ask me how to say his name!) I've been listening to this one for a bit now and still haven't decided if I like it, lol! It is interesting, to say the least. And original! Since he couldn't be bothered to come up with a name for his match, I did it for him ;-)

COTXETXE - Sultans Don't Swing Anymore
http://soundcloud.com/sonikx-1/dire-straits-vs-james-morrison - mp3 - Dire Straits "Money For Nothing" vs James Morrison "The Pieces Don't Fit Anymore"

Completing our tasty Sultan Sandwich is this sweet little morsel from Martinn Bootlegs. I just can't get enough of Fleetwood Mashed!

The first part of the "desert" is DJ Moule's rocking Straits mashup "Money For The Queen".

Saving (what may be) the best for last, here is a masterpiece from Fissunix. I've been listening to this amazing song for awhile now, and I continue to love it more and more. Speaking only for myself, I have to say that this one really grows on you.

Your Crazy Moonlight Runaway Just Shouts

I really have no clue how it happened, but I haven't posted a whole lot of tunes from Fissunix this year, at least not here. Tonight I attempt to make up for this with six great mashups from the French Mashup Artist :-) Starting with a couple of his most recent productions including his 100th which he released only a day or two ago. Followed by his beautiful Beethoven mix. I decided to wash it all down with some classic hair metal tonight, one mash with Bon Jovi and a pair with KISS. I don't know if you are going to want to bang your head much, but letting your hair down might not hurt. Listen to why he is one of my favorites. I know there are only a couple of actual videos in the this collection, but it's the music that matters!

My Rude Psychos (Without Lithium)

I have a few ideas I'm working on to post here soon, but James decided to jump the cue by posting another super awesome tune on my wall (that I had earlier bemoaned for lacking a good video). Cue jumping here is easy and I do like to encourage it!
So once again, I present some more amazing videos from GonzoJam Mindless Productions. Three amazing video's he made for others. Including what I think is the best AMV ever!! Plus a sweet audio mashup (sans video) he made himself. FYI, see the Vimeo version for better HD!

It's the Band Rock Sugar and their official video for one of their own Mashups - which they perfomed themselves in the studio. Are you ready to ROCK!?!
