I’m on a mashup kick as of late, much to Heidi’s annoyance on road trips. When I get to run the radio, it’s all Girl Talk lately and she hates that stuff. Anyway, I found two more artists over the last few days. Both guys have their stuff on their web site for free.

The video above is using a mashup called Sweet Home Country Grammar which is a mashup of Sweet Home Alabama and Nelly’s Country Grammar. So far, it’s just about my favorite discovery of the past few months. The mashup is by DJ Mei-Lwun. You can download this track along with several others at his web site (click his name in the previous sentence). I also really love his mashup of Kanye West’s Jesus Walks and AC/DC’s Back in Black. The mashup is called Jesus Walked Back and He’s Black. It works really well.

The other artist I found has also been doing the mashup thing for a while. His name is Party Ben and he also has an extensive collection of his tracks on his web site. My favorites right now are Galvanize the Empire, a mashup of the Chemical Brothers’ Galvanize and the Empire March from one of the Star Wars movies, and Rehab (Can’t Help Myself), which mashes up Amy Winehouse’s Rehab and the Four Tops’ Can’t Help Myself. So good. Check out his web site, you can preview and/or download a whole ton of stuff there.

I just received my OLPC laptop and I have to say, I’m impressed. It’s a great little device, if slow compared to our modern computers. The networking components do a great job and the map of where access points are in relation to the laptop is a neat feature. Love it.

If you want to know more about the hardware, obviously you can Google it, but here’s a 12-year-old’s perspective on the device, what it’s capable of, and why such a device might be successful as an education tool.
