Mashup Xmas album

Cory Doctorow 12:27 pm Fri Dec 2, 2005

Virtuoso mashup king dj BC sez, "This is a Christmas album of mashups and unlicensed remixes of Christmas chestnuts by remix artists from the US and UK. All songs (mp3) and the cover art are downloadable. Contains mixes from Go Home Productions (who has done official remix work for Blondie and Bowie among others), Poj Masta (the young prodigy of the UK scene), dj BC (The Beastles, remix work with Heaven 17), and lots of others. 18 tracks total." I'm listening to this now and actually cried out with delight when I happened on Voicedude's Janis Joplin/Santa Baby mashup, "Santa Benz."
