The Finest Mashups in the World

Posted by Daniel Stout on 8 February 2006 at 5:13 PM | 3 Comments |

We first must admit that we were getting a little burned out by the mashups being released last year. After DJ Danger Mouse’s excellent The Grey Album, there were many pretenders and wanna-be mashupers who were making nasty, awful mashups that gave us headaches. Okay, that said, Best of Bootie 2005 are 20 of the best mash up tracks we’ve heard in a long, long while. This is a total jam session. The artists selected are clever. The meldings are blissful. We haven’t had this much fun in FAR TOO LONG! Best of all, the tracks are all freely available at the Best of Bootie 2005 CD website, available either as a 71 MB zipped file or a BitTorrent download.

If you’ve never heard a mashup before, or if you only download one mashup album from the internet this year, make this one the one! It’s funkadunkadelic. Highly recommended!

Hrm. I downloaded the torrent to my desktop but get an "Error 22 -- invalid argument" when I try to expand it. Bummer.

Thanks for the link, though. I'll try another download method.

Sorry the torrent didn't work for you. My broadband ISP doesn't allow BitTorrent traffic so I ended up downloading the Zip file. You can use the unzip command in a terminal window to expand the file if you're on a non-Windows platform.

Yup, unzip from the CLI did it. Thanks again. Great stuff.

I assume you've seen this?
