London Calling to the Faraway Towns

London BootedOn the heels of DJ Dangermouse's Gray Album and Cheap Cologne's "Jay-Z vs. Metallica: The Double Black" reworkings of Jay-Z's Black Album (both of which have some great moments), comes something nearer and dearer to my heart:
London Booted - a mashup of The Clash's seminal London Calling. This thing is all over the place stylistically, but the best tracks (blo_up's Burnin', Instamatic's Spanish Bombs (Over Baghdad), E-Jitz' I'm Not Down (Hold Your Head Up), EzLee's Vain Mistake) blow away the commercial crap that passes for music in US Top 40. (I also have to mention the LazyTramp - Funky Guns of Brixton bonus track. The Clash mashed with Vanilla Ice. It's so wrong it must be right.).

The only thing better than the songs is the commentary from the creators which ranges from a "How I did It" mashed up with Trainspotting to a freaky Sci-Fi mash-up fantasy. Hie thee to a broadband connection, go!
