Tech -- Culture -- Humour
All top ten lists are arbitrary, but here’s another one anyway. Mashups are a very creative process, especially so when they result in a quality outcome. Below are ten of what I think are the best mashups to be found on Youtube. Please add your own favourites in the comments, otherwise enjoy:
1. Royals (Lorde) Vs Roar (Katy Perry)
It’s difficult to write anything on the video you’re about to see. Just watch it and be touched / amazed / inspired / angry.
Hard to argue with anything in that isn’t there?
One of the reasons I keep going back to YouTube is to see great mashups. As a musician / tech-head myself, I know how much work must go into each mashup on the audio side, let alone when you add video to the equation.
Tom Compagnoni has been creating mashups since 2003 and it shows. This year he’s released three gems, which you can see below. Mashups are an artform that excels when it is both seamless and striking in the contrast of songs, and Tom’s work on the three below, achieves those aims with flying colours. If you’re interested in how he does what he does, you can find out more here.
Here they are in no particular order (I’ve got to admit Thunder Busters is my favourite):
1. Whole Lotta Sabbath (Led Zeppelin vs Black Sabbath Mashup)
2. Thunder Busters (AC/DC vs Ghostbusters Mashup)
3. PJ Harvey, Tori Amos, Björk & Massive Attack Mashup
Would love to hear your favourite mashups – post away in the comments! No Rickrolling or Trololololing please 😉
