It’s been a while since I have heard from Norman Cook aka Fatboy Slim and now Brighton Port Authority, but this mashup by White Panda combines the 1999 hit Praise You with Outkast’s Roses, Rosa Parks and Da Art of Storytelling: Part I with a delightful result. By the way we are STILL waiting for those three Outkast albums to come out… the Big Boi solo album I believe is due out in May.

Our last mashup of Nina Simone and Kanye West was very well received, climbing as high as #2 on the hypemachine. So here’s another for your consideration. It’s a mashup using the instrumental track Let’s Ride from Gonzales’ Soft Power album and the vocals from Jay Z’s allure. I think the feel of both songs go well together, let me know what y’all think (be kind).

Isn’t she lovely here in the aqua green American Apparel precursor with jet black tights and a casual chic blazer? Dov Charney eat your heart out. We sometimes forget that you suck and luckily we’re not short of opportunities to be reminded that you do. Patty Benatar’s classic song Love is a battlefield is given new life and energy in DJ Bling’s remix album King of Rock. We posted about this a few months ago and ya’ll seemed to love it so here is some more goddamn songs for your asshole computer to play.

What can I say about AIR that you don’t already know? Depends who you are of course. They’re a french band consisting of two people that’s made a name for themselves making whimsical pop rock and working with Sofia Coppola on film soundtracks like The Virgin Suicides and Marie Antoinette.

They’re latest album is called Pocket Symphony and this is a remix of their song Alpha Beta GaGa from the 2004 album Talkie Walkie featuring none other than Rhymefest. Who apparently has a twitter, who knew?
