Fire In The A-Bar

Apparently "mashing" is the going thing in music creation. Here is a exerpt from the Boot Camp - Mashing for Beginners website -

The term "mash-up" or "bootleg" (or, more commonly, just "boot") describes the result of mixing together two or more records to create a whole new track. Though originally performed live using turntables and DJ mixers, recent advances in sequencing software have taken this art-form to a whole new level. This document outlines how mash-ups can be made using the software package Tracktion.

I really don't understand the technical aspects of this at all, but if you go to the bottom of the page, you can listen to a mash of Gay Bar by Electric Six and the theme from the A-Team. That alone is worth the price of admission.

Thanks to JLK for sharing this with me.
