20| Party Ben - Boulevard of Broken Songs
Green Day vs. Oasis vs. Travis vs. Aerosmith - The song that started my love of the mashup genre.

Like all of my running mixes, this album goes up in tempo from ~120 to ~200 BPM (with a cool-down song at the end). Total running time is just a bit over 90 minutes.

I love all the volumes of mashups that you've posted. Boulevard of Broken Songs was the first mashup I heard, too. My local alternative radio station played it for like all of two days on the air.

I'm glad you like them! And I still can't listen to Boulevard of Broken Dreams without trying to mentally superimpose Oasis on it - the fit is just so perfect. Works better than either original song, imo. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the mixes. :)

I'm taking all three volumes, thank you so much!

[jactrades]

You're very much welcome - enjoy!

ohmonaaaa, are you going to upload this to other file sharing sites? i'd like to download one out of three of them, but my country blocked megaupload. D;

also; which one of the three is your favorite?

[jactrades]

:O I didn't know that megaupload was blocked in some countries. Sorry! I've put the files all up at sendspace as well - will that work for you? If not, let me know what does work and I'll try hosting it there.

As far as which is my favorite... That's a tough question, 'cause I normally try to spread out the absolutely-100%-amazing songs across the albums when I create multi-volume mixes. I think the first volume is the most "club" sounding of the three - there's a bit more rap & hip-hop than on the other two (although there's plenty of pop too). The second one is more pop, and it has more songs from older hits - Police, Eurythmics, Donna Summer, Queen, etc. The third one, I think, has fewer "oh, that's a really clever mashup" moments, but might be the most fun & easiest to listen to of the bunch.

In terms of picking one, I'd say just scroll through the names of the artists on the mashups, and pick the volume that has the most names that you recognize - half the fun of mashups is seeing two artists that you love (but are completely different) mixed up together.

yeah, it sucks. my country even blocked out thepiratebay and about 7 more sites, i think. 8C
yay! sendspace works fine, thank you so much!

oh, your explanation. ♥ might i interest you in marrying me?
i'll browse through them & download first thing in the morning; it's 4am right now, ohoho. thanks! ♥

[jactrades]

*blush* I hope you enjoy the mixes as much as my description. Or mix, rather - I'd love to hear which one you end up going for!

And taken on the marriage bit, but we can be awesome internet friends if you like!
