Somebody I Was Game To Pump

I really love it when a DJ (aka a "Mashup Produce") takes an over-hyped (and over-played) pop song and makes it better. Which is what today's three remixes do very well indeed. These are three songs which all did very well (commercially and critically), yet I didn't care for them a whole lot, especially Video Games. But I do like these bastard-pop bootlegs. In life, everything is a remix.

I Want You To Pump Me Loca, Barbra!

Wow, September can be a tough month for blogging. I haven't really been in school for 20 years, so it's not easy getting used to "homework" again. Although not really, it's more of a struggle to maintain all my other activities - I'm no stranger to reading and writing. It's the whole doing what other people tell me to do thing that is the struggle. But I'm enjoying it. I still share tonnes of music everyday on Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr, just not a lot in here (because it's so much more work!). The social media is so much easier because I have all three sites linked to my Soundcloud (I really love the Soundcloud App for Android!!!) and YouTube accounts. I click a "like" button and I share across all my accounts - easy peezy!!

Today is MashMike's turn for a go here in the Pit. I have a tonne of his music on my player, but somehow I don't seem to have posted allot of his stuff here. An oversight I aim to fix immediately!! I encourage everyone to vote for his awesome tunes over at the Mashup-Charts.

Jagger Moves

I am really loving the new tune from Maroon 5 - Moves Like Jagger (here's an unofficial, but much sexier version). It's only been out a month or so and already there are some great mashups floating around for it. And here are a few of the better ones (imho, of course). To start with I've a couple "traditional (Mashpit-style) mashups, where a bunch of songs (including "Jagger" of course) have been given a deluxe mashing, and set quite skillfully to mashed videos. After that though I've decided to do it a little different (for the Pit at least). I hope you enjoy these songs as much as I do.

R.O.C.K. n' Rolling In My Head

I know it's been a tad long now (5 months long if I'm not mistaken) since I last updated the Top10, and It will probably be another month before I am able to fix that (cocaine is a hell of a drug!). When I do, these first two songs will probably be in. They've both been getting a lot of time in my personal playlist for awhile now. I'm really grooving on the mashups MashMike has been putting out lately. He really knows how to rock! His dance tunes are just as sweet.

There have been many great mashups using Adele's Rolling In The Deep over the past few months, I think I may have even posted a few of them here, but this may be my fave, in a group which already has some great mashes. I am beginning to believe that this song just may inspire the best work from from the mashup scene. The 2nd song is just as good, and is currently one of my favorite get down and boogey rock n' roll mashes currently out there. You can listen for yourself and see if you don't agree with me ;-)
