There's an elitist punk rock music snob deep down inside of me that has this automatic, kneejerk reaction of abject hatred to any kind of "commercial" or "popular" music. For awhile, I was very "MTV IS TEH SUXX0RS" and "BACKSTREET BOYS?????? MORE LIKE BACKSTREET HOMOSEXUALS!!!! HI-FIVE!". Luckily, I've "mostly" outgrown that. The best I can put my music taste is that, as I once said to some friends, I used to like Journey ironically. Now, I just like Journey.

Anyway, a few years back, when the whole "Mash-Up" thing first broke, my reaction was a predicable "How stupid and uncool, let me go listen to Made in NYC by the Casualties for the 938th time". Now, luckily, I've given up on the whole "cred" thing and appreciate how awesome some of these things can be. With that said:

"Whole Lotta Sabbath" and "Thunder Busters" are frigging awesome. I'm  still trying to find the site where I got "MMMBop My Life" and "Stayin' Alive in Da Club", along with the Muppet Show Theme vs. Gay Bar, which may be the funniest thing I've ever heard. Anyway, give it a spin, it's rather amusing.

Stay tuned for more from us. Hopefully we'll have another video up by the end of the year. And remember, if you've any Photoshop skills, email the pic from a couple posts below to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
