Gwen “Soggy Bottom” Stefani

Really well done mashup of Gwen Stefani’s “Hollaback Girl” and the Soggy Bottom Boys’ “Man of Constant Sorrow.”

I’m so musically clueless that I don’t know the original tunes to a lot of the mashups that come out. Ones where I do know the originals I enjoy.

Oh, here’s another one from mashuptown — She Sells Grapevines. “Heard It Through the Grapevine” + “She Sells Sanctuary.” The latter I will always remember from a local band covering it in an outdoor concert my freshman year of college.

Higher Law

I was listening to WYCE the other day and this sweet song came on; it turned out to be Higher Law by Victor Wooten.

And it had all the hallmarks of a late 80s/early 90s Tackhead [wikipedia] song, say, Strange Things-era. The vocal style, the guitar, the drums, even the lyrics — they all sounded heavily Tackheadish. (Maybe they and Tackhead share a common source I’m not familiar with…) I checked it out and one member of Tackhead, drummer Keith LeBlanc, is credited with vocals on that album and that track specifically, but I did not find the hand of Adrian Sherwood anywhere in it, which surprised me.

Maybe “Victa” digs Tackhead, or maybe they both dig the same people.
