If you’re into mash-ups, you absolutely must download the Kleptones’ A Night at the Hip-Hopera. It’s a full-length album that seamlessly integrates major songs from the Queen oeuvre and samples of other artists like Eminem, Missy Elliott, Beastie Boys, Peaches, and more. I’m listening to it now and it’s one of the most brilliant things I’ve heard. When I got my first stereo system, I also purchased a CD of Queen’s greatest hits, so these mash-ups have a special appeal to me. Holy crap, they’re even using Queen’s over-the-top theme song from that early 80s piece of cinematic cheese: Flash Gordon. I’ve died and gone to pop heaven. The album is mirrored here. You can thank me later.
And while we’re on the topic of 80s cultural detritus, I see they’re making a musical of…The Last Starfighter? You’re kidding me. I went to see this movie on my twelfth birthday with some friends. The space battles were cool, but I didn’t see much opportunity in the story for song-and-dance numbers. Can somebody in New York check this out for me and tell me if I’m missing something?
