Just so that this isn’t all doom and gloom, and also because I really do think it will be good for my mental health, I intend to sprinkle in a few of what gentleman cartoonist Keith Knight refers to as Life’s Little Victories.
My first entry in this category is something that genuinely made me do the full-on Keith Knight “YES!”.
Mashup artists The Kleptones have a new four part album called OV ER LO AD. It’s 135 tracks, clocks in at just over 8 hours and since I just found out about this a few minutes ago I haven’t had a chance to listen to it. However, The Kleptones double album Uptime/Downtime remains in the top three on my list of best mashup albums of all time (the other two being Girl Talk’s Feed the Animals and The Dirtchamber Sessions by The Prodigy) so I’m expecting great things.
Best part; you can download all four parts FO’ FREE!
Share and Enjoy.
Edited to add – I still haven’t listened to the whole thing but the first few tracks on OV are good. Like really good.
Oh HELLZ yeah! I thought they had shut down permanently after Downtime/Uptime. Thanks for posting!!
It is much less ostentatiously mashed-up than Uptime/Downtime. So far anyway.
It’s got a kind of sample-heavy house vibe that I’m quite enjoying.
