Le mashup ou mash-up (pot-pourri), bastard pop ou vs (versus, dans le sens d’un morceau contre un autre) est un genre musical hybride puisqu’il consiste en l’association, dans un même morceau, de deux ou plusieurs titres existants, généralement les parties vocales d’un morceau sur la musique d’un autre, grâce à un calage de tempo.

J’aime bien le résultat final, ça rend vraiment bien.
Voici The Hollow Crown, une série historique produite par Sam Mendes pour BBC 2. Elle adapte les quatre pièces de la seconde tetralogie historique de William Shakespeare, “the Henriad” : Richard II, Henry IV parts 1 et 2, et Henry V.
Richard II
King Richard finds himself having to try and settle a dispute between his cousin Henry Bolingbroke and Thomas Mowbray. He decides that a duel should be held but then stops it just before swords clash. Both men are then banished from the realm. Richard goes to see John of Gaunt, Bolingbroke’s father, who reprimands the King. After seizing Gaunt’s money and lands following his death, Richard leaves for wars against the rebels in Ireland. Bolingbroke returns to try and claim back his inheritance.
Henry IV Part 1
Prince Hal defies his father when he spends time with his time at Mistress Quickly’s tavern in the company of the Falstaff and his companions. The King is threatened by a rebellion led by Hal’s rival Hotspur, his father and his uncle. Prince Hal joins his father at the Battle of Shrewsbury killing Hotspur in single combat.

Dans le film Heart of Gold, Neil Young présente la chanson comme ceci :
About that time when I wrote (Heart of Gold), and I was touring, I had also — just, you know, being a rich hippie for the first time — I had purchased a ranch, and I still live there today.
And there was a couple living on it that were the caretakers, an old gentleman named Louis Avila and his wife Clara. And there was this old blue Jeep there, and Louis took me for a ride in this blue Jeep.
He gets me up there on the top side of the place, and there’s this lake up there that fed all the pastures, and he says, “Well, tell me, how does a young man like yourself have enough money to buy a place like this?”
And I said, “Well, just lucky, Louie, just real lucky.” And he said, “Well, that’s the darndest thing I ever heard.” And I wrote this song for him.
Wild Horses est une chanson des Rolling Stones tirée de l’album Sticky Fingers, écrite par Mick Jagger, Keith Richards et Gram Parsons.
A l’origine écrite par Keith Richards en 1969 à l’occasion de la naissance de son fils, Marlon, Mick Jagger aurait réécrit les paroles pour parler de sa relation avec Marianne Faithfull qui était en train de s’effondrer.
La légende veut que, le refrain “Wild Horses couldn’t drag me away” ait été la première phrase qu’aurait prononcé Marianne Faithfull après être sortie d’un coma suite à une overdose en 1969.

Portal est un jeu vidéo de réflexion et d’action en vue subjective développé par Valve en 2007.
Le jeu consiste en une succession de parcours que le joueur doit franchir en téléportant son personnage ou des objets à l’aide d’une arme capable de créer un portail spatial entre deux surfaces planes.
Portal: No Escape est un court-métrage de Dan Trachtenberg qui reprend la trame du jeu et met en scène Chell qui découvre le Portal Gun et essaie de s’échapper de sa cellule :
Sympa comme tout cette adaptation, on en verrait bien un long-métrage!
Lazy Teenage Superheroes est un court-métrage réalisé par Michael Ashton avec un budget de seulement 300 dollars.
Nous suivons Ty qui essaie de motiver ses “super” amis – Mitch, Cal et Rick – pour arrêter de jouer aux jeux-vidéo, quitter le canapé et utiliser leurs pouvoirs pour essayer de sauver le monde.
Les effets spéciaux sont plutôt sympas, a mi-chemin entre Heroes et Misfits.
We Wanted To Be Pleasantly Surprised Not Expectedly Let Down est l’un des deux titres que l’on peut retrouver sur le nouvel EP de Dan Mangan, un artiste indie-folk canadien, intitulé ‘Radicals’ :
Bon, ce n’est pas tout mais c’est que la fin du monde approche à grands pas!
Voici le clip post-apocalyptique (et probablement avec des gens cherchant de la drogue) de Silvia par Miike Snow:
Reached the city steps tonight Following the power lines Met a man bar side With eclipses for eyes
And you tell yourself you won’t let them touch Did I say too much? Did I say enough? I don’t know… Silvia I don’t know… Silvia
Circle round the room still Have fun breaking my will You know I can’t have you here With someone else on your skin
And it’s all my fault for not getting off So you made it start, can you make it stop? You don’t know… Silvia You don’t know… Silvia
Reached the city steps tonight Following the power lines And your skin is so white Underneath the black night
And your voice cries out for the coup de grace When the lights go out will there be a trace? That I loved… Silvia That I loved… Silvia
Miike Snow est un groupe musical originaire de Stockholm baptisé en hommage au réalisateur japonais Takashi Miike (qui a réalisé DOA, Zatoichi, et qui joue dans Hostel) et composé d’Andrew Wyatt, Christian Karlsson et Pontus Winnberg.
Ces deux derniers composent le duo Bloodshy & Avant, connu pour avoir produit plusieurs titres à succès de la chanteuse Britney Spears.
Here’s Low by Cracker (off the album Kerosene Hat), a song that I played over and over when I was at college.
It used to be my driving song: I’d pop that CD in, turn the volume up and drive the night away with no particular destination.
In that sense, I often identify with Nick Carraway, the character who narrates The Great Gatsby.

Lyrics
==============
Sometimes I wanna take you down
Sometimes I wanna get you low
Brush your hair back from your eyes
Take you down let the river flow
Sometimes i go and walk the streets
behind a green sheet of glass
A million miles below the streets
A million miles, a million miles
D C E G
Being with you girl like being low
hey hey hey like being stoned
Being with you girl like being low
hey hey hey like being stoned
A million poppies gonna make me sleep
But just one rose that knows your name
The fruit is rusting on the vine
The fruit is calling from the trees
Hey hey dont you wanna go down
Like some disgraced cosmonaut
A million miles below the streets
A million miles a million miles
(chorus)
(solo)
Blue blue is the sun
Brown brown is the sky
Green green are her eyes
A million miles a million miles
Hey hey don't you wanna go down
Like some displaced cosmonaut
A million miles below the streets
A million miles a million miles
(chorus)
