One of the most interesting phenomena to happen to music has been the creation of mash-ups – a consumer driven, creation that takes two songs and “mashes” them together. If you haven’t found “The Grey Album“ online, it’s worthy of your time – a combination of the Beatles’ “White Album” and Jay-Z’s “Black Album” created by a guy named DJ Dangermouse.
As Dave Beasing points out, “They’re the next step, a natural by-product of the computer age — empowering the grassroots to more easily participate in media and electronic arts.” If consumers feel that great new music isn’t coming out, they can simply make their own.
