Mash Ups Go Mainstream

Maybe it’s just me, but did anyone else find it a bit weird to hear Go Home Productions “Rapture Riders” on Alias tonight?

I know it’s on Blondie’s “Sound and Vision” and everything, but I remember when I downloaded that track off his website well over a year ago. It’s just sort of a trip for me to hear a mash up that I’ve listened to a whole bunch on a TV show I used to watch obsessively.

What’s next, Party Ben‘s “Boulevard of Broken Songs” making an appearance on Gilmore Girls?

P.S. Unlike Sean, I was happy that the bomb in Will’s brain didn’t go off.

    Yeah, my wife heard it on a German station this week. Truly bizarre. I’m hoping to hear some of the Public Enemy remixes (with Come on Eileen, Murder on the Dancefloor, etc.)

    Heh, I noticed it too and said, “I think I have that one…” I download a ridiculous number of mashups and have a hard time keeping track of what I’ve got.

    I heard a Sasha remix of Unkle’s “In a state” on CSI last week. Quite strange to see Grisham doing his thing backed by a tune I have in my car.
