The Marcy Zone

Sharpeworld has a great collection of the Little Marcy Christian children's records in Mp3 format.

"The worlds of Christian music and children's records have commingled for ages, and certainly both have seen their fair share of imaginative gimmicks and bizarre channels of creative expression. Few, however, can equal the legacy of Little Marcy."

These are as wonderfully creepy/amazing as coercive children's music is likely to get.. iterations of I Love Little Pussy should be in nearly every bootmix by about, say, noon.

Hippocamp Ruins Pet Sounds

Various electronic artists from net based music label Hippocamp.net "celebrate the anniversary of the release" of The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds album by ripping, mixing, and burning it into something that we can actually listen to without vomiting. We're not huge Beach Boys fans. If you are, perhaps these mixes will merely annoy you-- we're pretty impressed. Every track gets a different artist, we find the end result eclectic and swift.

Jay Zeezer - The Black and Blue album

Yup. A mashup of Jay Z's Black and Weezer's Blue.

DJ Mike :
"-When all this hoopla about DJ Dangermouse's remix of Jay-Z's Black album and the Beatles' White album hit the Internet, I really wasn't all that interested. The Beatles, after all are one the world's most beloved bands, and Jay-Z...well I'm pretty sure that he's a rapper of some sort. But why would anyone want to ruin all those wonderful drug induced Lennon / McCartney melodies?"

The end result? Clever, but for the love of god let's make this the last one, guys.
The 99 Problems with Buddy Holly video is pretty interesting.

The Torture Tape Experiment

Chunklet editor Henry Owings wars with Chunklet contributor Brian Teasley with the weapon known as The Godawful Mixtape.
Mp3s of these monstrosities are included for your... well, whatever.
Warning : includes Devo's "Theme From Doctor Detroit" which, while by far the best thing about Doctor Detroit, is still fully vile.

Booty Boys feat. Conan O'Brien

"I pick Kirstie Alley up out of the gutter / Throw her in a ring with Sally Struthers / Cover them with syrup and melted butter / And see how long it takes before they eat each other."

Shanghainese Rapping Flight Attendant

The Beastles

A Beatles / Beastie Boys mashup album in mp3 format for you to download, which follows the style of Dj Dangermouse's Grey Album. Boing Boing, where we saw this link, expresses the sense of inevitability for us both by noting it as "a mash-up that was bound to happen sooner or later."

We've only heard two tracks so far, it's pretty good and worth the download, but definitely a name-based goof. Currently we're inflicting What cha Want Lady upon the neighbors, who, in our humble opinion, have it coming.

Lest We Forget: 45 unreleaseds song by 35 great old Berkeley bands

"Lest We Forget" was fanzine Cometbus writer/Pinhead Gunpowder drummer Aaron Elliot's 1991 attempt to document the Berkeley punk scene of the 80s in a big ol' compilation tape. Andrew Krucoff is wisely re-releasing the mix on the evil intarweb in mp3 form.

"I don't want to be accused of wild exaggeration by saying the music here is exactly essential (although there's some great stuff here) but it is absolutely essential to appreciate the why, who, and how of what was being created at the time. Their output has had a significant impact on today's music."

We know you gonna dig this

Mp3 clips of music from the last quarter of the last century that you've heard many times before, only they were knee-deep in some lesser artist's tune. It's fun to play them to other people without explaining them, and see who catches on.
