Here it is! My first good mash-up. I’ve been playing around with Acid Pro for a while now and put together a few different kinda-almost mashups. This one is the first that’s really come out well. I’ve been trying to figure out what it is about mashups that turns me on. I guess part of it is that I’m a musician, temporarily without other musicians to play with. But then there’s the appeal of mashups themselves. More on that later. For now, enjoy Jay-z vs. AC/DC – The Girl’s Got Dirt.”

Nobody uses the word irony correctly. Hell, Alanis Morisette even wrote a song about it in which she used the word irony incorrectly throughout. Ok, there’s some arguement about that, but still.
So how ironic is it that President Bush – arguably the most ill-spoken public servant of all time – actually used the word correctly? When an open mic recently recorded a conversation between Bush and Tony Blair, Bush made headlines for using the word “shit” in reference to the current situation in Lebanon. What the flurry of blog and news posts about this event seem to have missed is perhaps the biggest news of all: Bush may not be as big a nincompoop as we all thought. And how scary is that?
Here’s what he said:
“See the irony is what they need to do is get Syria to get Hezbollah to stop doing this shit and it’s over.”
Yes, it is certainly ironic that it is Syria (sponsor of terrorism) that would be called on to reign in Heabollah. It is exactly ironic!
Personally, I find it scary that Bush may have been porposefully speaking like a complete numbskull just to keep us off guard; To keep us feeling that he’s not ad dangerous as he really is. When an accidental open mic catches Bush being this candid and clear-spoken, it just makes it that much clearer how obfuscated and scheming he really is.
Run to the hills.

I was in a band in the 80s (no, not that ’80s; the 1908s…like as in the decade?). As it turns out, the band was kind of cool. And now you can all hear it.
