Can anybody confirm whether or not Natascha Stellmach actually smoked Kurt Cobain's ashes in a spliff last week? Her Set Me Free installation- featuring Near Death Experience , "a text-based work where Kurt Cobain, Adolf Hitler, Diane Arbus and the Brothers Grimm meet in a twilight zone"- wrapped on the 11th, and I haven't heard anything since. Not that I'm all that plugged into the Belgian Fan Fic/Haunted Weed scene, but still, you'd think it'd make some press if it really did go down. Or maybe Stellmach's plan to plan to free Cobain [...]

" Contrary to what you've just seen, war is neither glamorous nor fun. There are no winners, only losers. There are no good wars, with the following exceptions: The American Revolution, World War II, and the Star Wars Trilogy. If you'd like to learn more about war, there's lots of books in your local library, many of them with cool, gory pictures. " - Bart Simpson Hey protesters in front of my building right now: you know what? It is that easy. You were right, and they were just fucking with you. If you yell just [...]
You know those nights when you're at a party, and everybody is standing in a circle one upping each other with sexist jokes, or racist jokes, or dead baby jokes, and one guy rolls in to lay one down that just KILLS it so hard that any joke told after the fact is craaazy lame? You're lucky if you're the guy that kills, and this shit is the most amazing dead baby joke of Leona Lewis mashups. Divide and Kreate "Every Bleeding Breath" (The Police vs. Leona Lewis) Just throwing it out [...]

Here's a quick taste, then head on over for more: Urgent Situation - Lobsterdust (Foreigner vs. Yazoo) You Spin Me Upside Down - DJ Shyboy (Diana Ross vs. Dead or Alive) [...]
Stockholm's Divide + Kreate has chosen to flex his mash muscle following March's tremendous "Smells Like Teen Spirit" remix; this time it's The Clash's ubiquitous "Should I Stay or Should I Go" getting the D+K electro treatment- by way of Justice, no less! "Phantom Pt. II" stabs fast and cool under Mick Jones' classic ultimatum for a song that suddenly seems less about a relationship than how

Be afraid... very afraid. Maxl Rackson I love mash-ups. Its two for one. Buy one get one free. Whatever you want to call it. That is, when you are lucky enough to find a good one. Either way, when executed well, a mash-up is elevated a level above the original songs. Generally, you have to search long and hard for a truly brilliant combo, but I've done the work for you. Enjoy, and think of the possibilities. In order of brilliance: Rihanna/New Order- Shut Up On A Blue [...]
Adrian & The Mysterious D have released the latest Bootie Top 10 including quite a few recent spins that have been featured here on Culture Bully. This month's list is especially great as The Hood Internet finally get a little Bootie-love! DJ Fox "No One to Squeeze" (mp3) (Alicia Keys vs. Red Hot Chili Peppers) (more...)

One of the best new producers to rise to the forefront in the mashup scene in 2007 returns with another great mix leveled out by its synth undertones. As Copycat describes it , "If you're allergic to a) extended electro dance mashups or b) verbose intros, this might be a good time to move along." Copycat "A Smalltown Monday Solution" (mp3) (New Order vs. Bronski Beat vs. Smalltown) (more...)

Yes, boys and girls, it's time once again for Santastic! , the third-annual installment of holiday mix-and-mash-ups performed and compiled by the redoubtable djBC . (Fresh from snagging the BMA for " Outstanding DJ .") As always , this year's edition is a corker. For kids who've been waiting for the red-suited man all December, Divide and Kreate 's " Velvet Santa " sets up a rendezvous between a pre-creepy Michael Jackson and a very naughty Lou Reed on [...]

Completing the set of Halloween-themed mashups this weekend is The Bride of Monster Mashup , which accompanies Son of Monster Mashup and the recently released Mashing Pumpkins . The mix offers itself up as the most expansive of such compilations with its twenty eight songs. It's quite similar to both its predecessors and its successors in that there are some great tracks, some near-hits, and some songs that miss altogether...but any way you look at it, between the three releases here, there is definitely more than [...]

Divide & Kreate zählen für mich seit Jahren zu den besten der Mash-up/Bootleg-Zunft. So waren sie nicht nur verantwortlich für den besten Bootleg der letzten 2 Jahre "Sweet Jaqueline", sondern bringen in aller Unregelmässigkeit auch mal längere Mixe raus, so z.B. vor ein paar oder mehr Monaten den grandiosen Crush Mix . Jetzt ist es wieder mal soweit, diesmal für die Radioshow eines weiteren Endi-Favorites: DJ Zebra . Ladies and Gentleman: Der D&K Zebra Mix! Mit vielen Verbrechen der Pop- und Rockgeschichte. Divide & Kreate - The Zebra [...]

To even the non-believers, I say...good music still exists, and on this day of days it is provided in two lump sums. The first being the twenty four song Christmas themed mash-up mix "Santastic II: Clausome," presented by Boston bootlegger dj BC. The second is a not-so-Christmas themed holiday sampler provided by Fat [...]

Christmas. gah. And I am back. This is going to be ugly. Anybody miss me? have a humor. ...As a further restructuring, today's global challenges require the North Pole to continue to look for better, more competitive steps. Effective immediately, the following economy measures are to take place in the "Twelve Days of Christmas" subsidiary: * The partridge will be retained, but the pear tree never turned out to be the cash crop forecasted. It will be replaced by a plastic hanging plant, providing considerable savings in maintenance; [...]
