Cool Mixes and Mash-Ups:
Hey... do you want to hear some really cool DANCE Mixes and/or Mash-Ups? I though that you might like to hear a few for summer fun.
So, you say you don’t know what a Mash-Up is?
****
“Consists of the combination (usually by digital means) of the music from one song with the a cappella from another. Typically, the music and vocals belong to completely different genres. At their best, bastard pop songs strive for musical epiphanies that add up to considerably more than the sum of their parts.”
Mash-Up Definition: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bastard_pop
****
In other words a Mash-Up is 2 or more songs stacked together like a layered cake and played at once. But they don’t play the entire song, just parts of different songs (like the melody of one and the lyrics of another) as described in the above definition from Wikipedia.org. If done correctly, the Mashup can (many times) be better than the original, as you will find out.
I’ve posted links to some of my favorite Mixes and Mash-Ups (here) in this posting so you can download them and enjoy them during the summer. I’ve posted some good ones so you can have a nice small (starter) collection, if you want them. That is, unless this post is deleted.
Don’t forget to send some of your favorite MP3 links my way (using Box.net, see OFF TOPIC "In the sharing mood?" for explanation) if you have any. And don’t forget to look at the bottom of this posting for some great FREE programs that will help out your music experience.
Get'em while they're HOT!!!
* Please note that these Mixes & Mash-Ups are all very good DANCE music.

Some other links to great MP3s are located in the threads (In the sharing mood ?, In the sharing mood - 2, In the sharing mood - 3) just below the video links for each video.
THAT'S IT! I HOPE YOU LIKE THESE, THEY'RE ALL REALLY GREAT. HAVE A NICE SUMMER AND BE SURE TO LISTEN TO THESE FANTASTIC MIXES AND MASHES.
* Get MP3ext here http://www.mutschler.de/mp3ext/ it's a small, great, free program that will put icons on your MP3s that will show the bit rate of each song in the Windows file manager (Explorer.) You can also use the program to tag MP3s by right-clicking on the MP3 and then selecting "Properties." If you ever install some other program that plays MP3s, that (newly installed) program will probably change the icons back. Just reinstall MP3ext to change them back to the cool looking icons.
* Get MP3Gain here http://mp3gain.sourceforge.net/ it's free and easy to use. It's the best program that I've ever found to normalize your MP3s (Bring high volumes down and bring low volumes up) to a common volume without actually re-encoding the MP3.
