Worst of 2006...

Drum roll please...this thing, this abomination called the "Mash-up". For those unfamiliar, the "Mash-up", is a relatively new phrase in the ridiculously vast lexicon of music (in particular dance music) terminology, coined & operated by our melanin-deficient friends, who as usually seem to be a bit late getting to the party. You see, a "mash-up" is simply taking two songs and "mashing" them together. For example, you can take a Karen Carpenter tune and "mash" it together with Stevie B. Sounds pretty straight forward right? Only problem is, we've had a name for this for over 20 years, it's called a god-dammed REMIX! YES, A REMIX! A MIX EVEN! DJ'S HAVE BEEN MIXING TWO SONGS (ON TWO TURNTABLES) FOR YEARS! THIS IS NOT NEW. SADLY, WE HAVE "MASH-UP" CLUBS HERE IN LOS ANGELES TODAY! ENTIRE RADIO SHOWS OF "MASH-UPS". Someone please make it stop. God is great.
