I thought I'd try to lighten a dark Saturday night with a little music.

No, I'm not going to sing "Imagine," but I will share some of my favorite mash-ups.

First up, Nashville's own @DJWickit with a scorching mashup of Bill Withers and Method Man & Redman:

And another one from his album-length mashup of the Black Keys and Big Boi. soundcloud.com/wick-it/go-get…

Next up, one of a thousand great mashups by @hoodinternet -- this is Kanye and Daft Punk:

And here's another @hoodinternet one I love -- Dead Prez and Grizzly Bear.

Third, here's @partyben with a brilliant mashup of Rhianna and John Mellencamp:

Fourth, Team9 used to do these mashups for @stereogum.

Here's a great one mashing up the xx and the Alan Parsons Project:

And another, mashing up Vampire Weekend and Rupert Holmes:

Fifth, from the Jaydiohead mashup (of Jay-Z and Radiohead) that Minty Fresh Beats did, I love this one: soundcloud.com/corsicaa/jaydi…

Sixth, @djearworm does these end-of-the-year mashups of the top pop hits of a year. I have to admit I usually don't know more than a few of the songs, but the mixes are great.

Here's the one from 2013:

Seventh, it's not really a mashup, but the remixes that @ratatatmusic does are phenomenal.

Here's their take on Biggie's Party and Bullshit:

All of these folks have lots more out there on their own websites, or Soundcloud or Youtube or whatever newfangled apps the kids are using these days, so if you like these, check them out.
