Also, I found out that someone already uses the artist/DJ name “PBR Street Gang”. I’ve never really liked a name as much as I liked that one. So I gotta think of something new. Something that doesn’t need the prefix DJ, something that doesn’t sound too genre or era specific, something that sounds like it means something but still doesn’t really mean anything instantly to anyone. Oh, and it has to roll off the tongue.

ANYways, here’s what will become of this blog (in no particular order):

a) I have some more mashups that I haven’t posted yet, so those will be up here in a bit (just not now because my internet won’t have it).

b) I realize that most of the files I’ve posted have expired on zshare, and zshare doesn’t work for a lot of people, and zshare puts soft-core porn all over your screen when you visit it, so I’m going to secure some sort of permanent file hosting solution, and put a comprehensive list of permanent links on a permanent page on this blog so you can access anything any time. Heck, maybe have some sort of streaming function, so you don’t even have to download all of it.

c) Probably more mixes. If anyone is even interested in that?

d) Any original songs/remixes I may happen to do.

e) A short remix EP I did last summer. Think the Grey Album, but instead of Jay-Z, any rapper is game, and instead of the Beatles… Jon Brion. From his movie soundtrack stuff.

Ok, more (actual) posts to come, I swear.

Hell New (Dead Prez vs. Digitalism)

n’

Text Mashages (Raheem Devaughn vs. Digitalism)

Get It Kelly (Lloyd vs. Van She)

Yeah? No? Either way, just never mind that one, now. THIS is what I SHOULD’VE done.

Sink It Shawty (Lloyd, Young Joc vs. Delete)

Yes, yes, much better. Alright, this one… I just want to say I’ve never heard two songs that work together like these two do. In fact when I first made this (a while ago) my original idea was to do mashups only of modern rap/pop/R&B songs (check) and old obscure-ish disco. Lemme know what you think.

Like a Ladybug (Justin Timberlake, Clipse vs. Bumblebee Unlimited)

Ooooh, SebastiAn recently released a collection of remixes. Did you know? I love SebastiAn.

Revl9n-Walking Machine (SebastiAn Remix)

In other news: all my friends went back to school. It’s been raining for too long, and training for my new job is the most [insert negative adjective] thing I’ve done in a long time. At least Man Man understands. Or sounds like they do.

Man Man- Big Trouble

Strike a Venus (Lil\’ Mama vs. Air)

n’

Drop It Sister (Yin Yang Twins vs. Get Shakes)

There’s never a bad time for some KB.

Karl Blau- Sky

I just made an omelet and I miss everyone I know.

Kryptulations (Big Boi vs. LCD Soundsystem)

and another old one until I get some more new ones together.

Young Joc vs. Beck

Yeah, I can’t think of a witty little mashup title for that one. I just finished Cormac McCarthy’s “The Road”. I liked it.

Hooray. I think I’ve posted enough mashups by now to justify a little mix-tape comp of sorts. Not all of them are in it, just my favorites and those that I thought would work well together, in one glorious continuously mixed shot of an mp3. Also included is a “Back to School Minimix” for you to blare loud enough to drown out the awkward “Oh HEY! So…. how was your summer? Yeah, mine too. Ready for classes?”. Not to mention a little intro mash thing made just for this mixtape. I know, I know, you can barely contain your excitement. Well, you can grab that thing-kind-of-thing here:

Intro Action (Yo Majesty vs. Justice vs. Mary Lou Retton)

And the whole shebang in .zip form riiiiiight here:

Mash Tape Vol. 1 + BK2SCHLMNMX

Oh, and in case you’re wondering, PBR Street Gang is my DJ name I guess. As opposed to my blogging name. This will undoubtedly result in massive confusion and my mp3s being lost in your iTunes forever. Well, if they made it there in the first place then I guess I’m doing alright. Later.

My Backspace (Kieran, Young Joc, Shawty Lo vs. Mascotte)

and deeeeeeein…

Get Me Sweatered (Beyonce vs. Yo La Tengo)

And since I know you’re just dying to know what I’m listening to these days…

The Glimmers- Physical

and hey, I can actually relate to Weezy when it comes to this blog. “…cause I don’t write sh*t cause I ain’t got time”. Thanks to Disco Dust for this one. Not to mention CCC for the amazing remix.

Lil Wayne- A Milli (Chewy Chocolate Cookies remix

Dat Zone (Shawty Putt, Too Short, Lil Jon vs. To My Boy)

I think that song ^ is hilarious, especially the third verse. “You better call Petey Pablo, didn’t he say your name on Freek-a-Leek?” The next one is pretty old, but I have to post it sometime.

Feel Bad (Dr. Dre, Eminem vs. Gorillaz)

And two tracks that are burning a hole in my hard drive:

Boy 8-Bit- The Suspense Is Killing Me

and

DJ Blaqstarr- Supastarr

Got Crystal (Lil\’ Wayne, T-Pain vs. Crystal Castles)

y segundo-

Front to Pinback (T.I.P. vs. Pinback)

Dinosaur Comics was especially relevant (to this blog) a few days ago. I admit, Dinosaur Comics is always relevant.
