WHERE THE HOKEY POKEY "IS" WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT

New Year’s Boot

Posted about 1 year ago
  • Artist:
    Led Zeppelin vs The Doors
  • Track:
    Break Through Love
Tonight, the Big Odometer will click a digit higher, and we’ll all creep forward to our respective destinies. Meanwhile, there’s frolic and frivolity afoot across the globe. Me? I’ll be hanging with some pals on the block; then I’ll cruise over to a more elegant and freaky soiree (costumes encouraged!) in a slightly posher ‘hood for the midnight revels. Finally, it’s off to the Bootie New Year’s bash at the ever-reliable DNA where I can groove to mash-ups par excellence into the wee hours.In case you haven't noticed, it’s a complete treat for me to be MOGging amongst you all. Thanks for all the turn-ons and the smart, sharp and/or heartfelt writing. I expect to be staying the course into January and beyond, and I hope you do, too.As a parting gesture before the West Coast festivities begin in earnest, I’m streaming a little something from DJ Zebra, toast of the Paris club scene. It’s made of familiar ingredients, but mixed in an oh-so-fresh way: The Doors’ “Break on Through” and a live version of Led Zeppelin’s “Whole Lotta Love” with a bit of garnish. Zebra calls his bootleg cocktail “Break Through Love.” I call it a cool way to break on through to 2008.Bonne année, mes amis!

  7. Anna says This goes straight up to one of my most favourite mash-ups yet. And with a bit of Sean Paul on top. It's just SO good. Happy New Year, mash-up king! Keep on rocking us both sonically and intellectually, and may you receive the same rocking treatment as well. Cheers!

  9. Mike the Knife says Just coming out of my New Year's Eve haze, guys and gals. Glad this one struck a chord with y'all. ROCKNROLLPIMP: YES I CAN! ivylander: Thanks! I love the way he interpolates and repeats sampled bits from the songs to create rhythmic hooks beyond those in the originals. Zebra is one clever animal. bloodtea: It's a knockout! And good wishes redoubled and back at ya! August: I had to do it as part of my community service. ;-) And you're very welcome! Bartleby: What? No bangers? (My pleasure! And thank you, too!) QueenofHell: One can only hope. Danke, Helen. Anna: Good ear, my dear. our delight and kind words warm my wintry heart. Will try my best to comply! Dzendvokh: May yours be a blast as well. And, if it is within my kingly powers, I hereby decree a fab 2008 for all!
