I had a bunch of Christmas music posts planned, but here I am at my folk's place playing Ms. Computer Repairer, for both my parent's PC and my crappy netbook. Argh. It's not putting me in the holiday spirit, I tell you what. But anyhoo, who loves mash-ups? Me! Who really loves mash-ups with good (bad) Christmas tunes? MEEEEE!!! The first three are a few of my favorites from the fantastic Santastic collection, which is a group of DJ's that have been putting out a disc worth [...]

I took this photo on Queen West in Toronto. Someone is getting coal in their stocking.... From the forum members at AtlCountryTab.ca . Merry Christmas, Dammit! Download the zipped comp for one week only or until I run out of bandwidth. 1. Brave Combo - Must Be Santa.mp3 Buy : It's Christmas, Man!

I have made mention of my fairly extensive Christmas collection in the past, but I haven't done a lot of posting of them. The fact is I don't feel like I bring anything new to the table and truth be told I "borrowed" a few of them from my fellow bloggers. I spent roughly three or four years compiling the collection and now I can't even play them all each Christmas. No matter, I'm addicted to the genre. We all know there are only 40 or 50 standard Christmas carols, if [...]
A collection of holiday mashups produced by some of the best bastard pop producers on the earth.
Mojochronic hits us with a terrific mash. The Staple Singers "I'll Take You There" vs Lou Reed "Walk On The Wild Side" vs Joe Cocker "Feelin' Alright" vs The Rolling Stones "You Can't Always Get What You Want".

Okay, kids. 'Tis the day before Christmas and we've had fun, right? Okay, I didn't blog anywhere as near as I intended to this year. I never wrote that analysis of Synecdoche, New York (loved it) and I never wrote that comparison of rock songs that ape Broadway versus Broadway showtunes that ape rock. But I did manage to put in a somewhat abbreviated version of our annual holiday sing-a-long sensation. We'll close out with a couple o' piping hot mash-ups, a favorite genre on this blog. They're both soulful [...]

This is Sapphire. Santa will be leaving a lump of coal in her stocking. Contrast Podcast #142 marks the beginning (at the lower end) of the annual Festive 50, voted on by all the podcast contributors. Hats off to Tim for getting us all motivated on this project several weeks ago, before most of us even started our end-of-year lists. And thanks to the podcaster who put Dark Dark Dark on the first list of nominations. Hard To Find a Friend reveals his number one album of [...]
dj BC has his latest compilation of people's mp3 Christmashups up, Santastic III in 3-D. From it, mojochronic takes Led Zep a caroling in "Yuletide Zeppelin" (5:14 mp3): [audio: http://www.vjbrewski.com/santa stic3/yuletidezeppelin.mp3]

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 [...]
The efforts of Clear Channel's programmers have probably helped you already get sick of "All I Want For Christmas Is You" and that damned Don Henley holiday track, but there are quite a few seasonally appropriate songs worthy of your time out there. To help cut through the clutter we've asked Jon Solomon , whose 20th annual 24-Hour Holiday Radio Show on WPRB kicks off at 6 p.m. on Christmas Eve, to offer up some seasonal cheer in MP3 form. Today, he brings us a holiday-themed mash-up that incorporates music by this week's biggest classic-rock [...]
"Yuletide Zeppelin" is a medley of Led Zeppelin songs played Christmas stylee by a guy I'd never heard of before but am now a big fan. This track is ingenious . Mojochronic is a dude from Berkeley, CA who sez : "I happened to be playing a family heirloom glockenspiel when Zep's "Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You" came on the TV...God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen was a something I had learned as a boy. It fit like hand in glove with Jimmy Page's guitar playing. That [...]
