RANDOM THOUGHT

Today on the radio I heard a mashup of Oasis versus Green Day. I couldn't quite place the Oasis song, but knew that the Green Day song was "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" from American Idiot. There are a couple of things wrong with this picture. First, I was listening to commercial radio. Second, didn't mashups come and go sometime last year or the year prior? Third, mashups really do highlight the inadequacies of each song, and downplay the strengths of each. Fourth, the very end of the song segued into some Aerosmith song. What? The "mashup master" didn't know how to end the song? Maybe he or she shouldn't have started...
