Happy New Year Mashup: Lady Gaga vs Journey

I'm a sucker for good mashups, and really what mash would make a better addition to your New Years Get Psyched Mix than Journey and Lady Gaga. Because won't you always remember 2009 in disco sticks and New Directions?

Rubik

These guys are Finnish. That's all I can think of to say at the moment.  Just listen to the song.

No Escape - Rubik

Say Hi

They used to be called Say Hi To Your Mom.  Ha.

This tune was featured in Gossip Girl.  It is excellent.

Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh

The Subjects

These guys have kind of a cool story. Two teachers formed the band with two students, and they actually made it work. Can't really imagine playing SXSW with my high school teacher, but whatever works I suppose.

Winter Vacation - The Subjects

Rodrigo y Gabriela

If you've never seen these two play, watch this video.  They are unreal. And their new album is finally out. 

Hanuman - Rodrigo y Gabriela

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

After seeing Where the Wild Things Are, I'm now in love with Karen O, not that I didn't think the Yeah Yeah Yeahs were fabulous before that.  I've been slowly collecting tunes off of their latest album, It's Blitz, and this one has been constantly in my head for the past 3 weeks. 

Heads Will Roll - Yeah Yeah Ye...

Thanks to Wikipedia, I just learned that it was featured in ads for the Hills and the City, which my lack of television made me completely unaware of. So perhaps it will be familiar to a few readers out there. :) 

YACHT

YACHT is actually just a dude who used to be a member of The Blow, whose free iTunes single, True Affection, has a frighteningly high play count in my iTunes. While this song is definitely odd, it's just odd enough to work.

Psychic City (Voodoo City) - Y...

KiD CuDi

I have no idea how hard it is to rap because, surprise surprise, I am not a rapper. I would gather that it is fairly difficult to find an indie pop song and rap over it and make it sound like you wrote the song to go with your rap. That is exactly what Cudder has managed to do in this abruptly-ending rap over Vampire Weekend's Ottoman. Thanks to the nice "goodbye" at the end, long before the background song is supposed to end, you'll want to listen over and over.

Cudderisback

(Not sure where he went, since his debut album just came out in September...)

Caravan Palace

I downloaded this song by mistake, and it's totally different than what I normally listen to, but it's great. Who can resist a little French electro-swing?
