Mashups: as good as mashed potatoes

Filed under: — Aprille @ 4:12 pm

I am so into mashups. Most of the mashups I listen to are modern hiphop mixed with old-timey songs (like the Queen/50-Cent stuff and the immortal “Drop it Like it’s Huey”) with the hiphop vocals being the dominant feature.

This one is the opposite. It’s pretty great. I can’t believe how different Billy Joel’s vocals sound in this context.

Happy birthday, Denny

Happy 29th birthday to my wonderful husband Denny. He’s the best. We opened present this morning; I got him a sweater made of spun bamboo fibers, a bamboo cutting board, and some bamboo cutlery. He’s really into bamboo. On a non-bamboo-related note, I also got him a new grill brush and some chocolates he likes. Tonight we’ll have some tasty tapas and Portuguese wine for dinner.

Look how cute he was when he was little:
