A message from Little:

So I haven’t been around for blips n beats for quite some time now. Mainly I’ve been way too busy to keep up. Im a single, successful guy, what can I say?
I will try to keep up with my posts much more often now but I have decided I won’t take forever trying to write something witty or over the top informative about the songs. Frankly I have way too many recreational drugs to do and not enough time. If you like them, dig them and find out more on your own, or ask me via comments and Ill be sure to tell you more.

Salud,
Sean, the Dead Beat Dad of Electro Posting.

I know I’ve already posted a bunch of different covers, remixes, and mash ups but… doesn’t everybody love them?  I think when people hear a song they recognize combined with something they haven’t heard before- something new and unfamiliar- it makes the experience more memorable and sometimes even more enjoyable.   Here are some more covers, remixes, and mash ups for you to enjoy…

Whose remix of Notorious B.I.G.’s “Party & Bullshit” is better?

Damn these are popular.  Mash Ups are kind of going through a surge in popularity right now.  Mash ups can be two or more new, popular songs mixed together (like mash up #1 by Terry Urban – Lil Wayne’s “A Millie” and Coldplay’s “Viva La Vida”), or two or more older, popular songs mixed together (like mash up #2 by A Plus D – Notorious BIG’s “Going Back To Cali” and Red Hot Chili Peppers‘ “Dani California”), or a mash up can be new and old songs, whether or not they’re popular or unpopular, mixed together (like mash up #3 by Bobb Deep – Mobb Depp’s “Shook One’s Pt II” and Bob Marley’s “I Shot The Sheriff”).  Check these out too:

M3 – Michael Jackson and James Brown – “The Way You Got Me That Feeling”

5ose – Fatboy Slim and The Beatles and Billy Joel – “Praise the News of a Day”

Yea, I know about Girl Talk.  So what?
