Best of Bootie 2007 -- mashups galore!

Bootie sez, "Best of Bootie 2007 released today! The best mashups of 2007 selected by Adrian & the Mysterious D, producers of the world's biggest mashup club night. Enjoy Boing Boing. I *think* we have the bandwidth to sustain a hit by you THIS year! (unlike last year, and the year before!) We have more bandwidth than ever... let's do it!"

There were two absolute standout tracks on this one for me: Go Home Productions - Passenger Fever (Peggy Lee vs. Iggy Pop) and Divide & Kreate - Illiterate City (Jackson 5 vs. Guns N' Roses). Both tracks started with really kicky pop songs in very different styles and from very different eras, found their common ground, and exploited it in a way that made my mind ache in a good way. Link (Thanks, Bootie!)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Says ob1: Better luck next year! Thanks for the torrent, another outstanding round of mashups!!

Is it just me or do the Best of Bootie mashups almost always pale in comparison to 10 seconds of Girl Talk or Ludachrist? Not to hate – the whole Bootie crew have done a lot for the mashup scene… but where’s the awesome?

These are some great mashups. Was looking forward to the newest Best of Bootie. Thanks for putting it up! Can’t wait till next year’s.

Mysterious D here (Adrian posted that last comment) … not to mention that Bootie has been around long before Girl Talk (and Ludachrist – who?) – and will be around way after…for a reason. Girl Talk and Ludachrist aren’t actually doing “mashups”, but as Adrian said, they do megamixes and sampling – they are not creating a new singular song out of preexisting disparate material. Also, said artists have issues with keeping the songs in key and often pitch some of the vocals way up or way down…which to us, sounds not-so-great. But to each their own! :-)

Does anyone have a copy of the bonus track “Victor Menegaux – Feel Good Roboto 2″ ? I have all of the songs, plus all of the bonus tracks – except that one :/
MysteriousD

We create NEW SONGS, not megamixes, and unlike the aforementioned, our mashups are actually in KEY. – A+D

The first year’s was featured here on boingboing and quite honestly, I think this list is just as good!

Is this a good time to remind people that the Pirate Bay have the torrent, I mean it’s free anyway, so why torture the poor servers?
