Here is a very nice Rolling Stones remix by the Neptunes. And here's the infamous Dean Grey "American Edit" album. It's a mashup of the Grammy winning album "American Idiot" by Green Day. It's been under assault from the record label and it may of may not be available. But if you can manage to listen to it, you'll enjoy it.
But please don't order from Domino's pizza. This man doesn't need any more cash.

Can't stop myself from listening to . . .
this "Been caught stealin' your rump"(Kathy's favorite, Janes + Prince + Beasties)
Or this "Jay Z is crazy in love" (Jay-Z, Beyonce, and Saliva)
Or this "Legalize a Reggae Woman" (Buju Banton + Stevie Wonder)
Or this "Say my name of the tiger" (you can figure this one out on your own)
I may have an unhealthy obsession with this one (Jay-Z and Nina)
For the uninitated these are mashups, where two or more songs are 'mashed' together to create a mix, sometimes funny, sometimes stupid, and occasionally really great. I just can't get enough of them. The two sites below are some of the best places to find them, but they are all over the web.
My favorite mash-up site.
Here's another great mashup site.
I learned that even though I'm 41, you are never too old to learn this little trick. Hailing a cab will never be the same.
Perhaps the best cooking show on TV. Certainly better then anything on the food network.
Thanks J-ski
We all know the terrible beauty of the constantly connected world. Unlike some retailers I've opted to not hang the "No Cell Phones Please" sign on the door. Despite having to endure four inane cell phone conversations simultaniously, "What?","I'm in soapdish . . . soapdish . . . soapdish . . . no not soupdish . . . soapdish . . .", "Where?", "I can't hear you . . . what?".
I've taken the questionable stance that it's inevitable, so I'm going with the flow. One of our employees was in Thailand last month and she told us that while she was getting a massage her therapist stopped five times to answer her phone, and held three to five minute conversations. So color me resigned to he future of communication. On that note I give you:
Can you hear me now?
Customer enters.
Customer: I tried calling you earlier
Tim: I'm sorry I missed your call, I've been very busy this morning . . .
C: I called five times
T: I'm sorry I didn't get your message . . .
C: I didn't leave a message
T: Oh, well the phone's been ringing off the hook . . .
C: I called five times
T: I'm sorry about that . . . What can I do for you today?
C: Well . . . I wanted information about your spa . . .
Our voice mail message lists the store hours and spa phone number, so had she listened to the message she would have had the number to call for spa information.
T: No problem, what information were you looking for?
C: Um . . . I . . . (Soapdish phone starts ringing) Do you need to answer that?
T: No, that's o.k. I'm with a customer (smiles)
C: You are? (looks around the store)
T: Yes . . .
C: Oh . . . um . . . (looks around the store one more time)
T: You
C: Oh . . . what's the phone number for the spa?
T: It's 657 . . . (customer's cell phone starts ringing)
C: Hello . . . what? . . . where's that? . . . did you make reservations? . . . what? . . . when? . . . Soapdish . . . Soapdish . . . whatever . . . what? . . . o.k. . . . bye
T: It's 657.3233
C: What?
T: The spa phone number . . .
C: What was it again?
T: 657.3233
Now, don't get me wrong, I realize that sometimes it can be frustrating when you need to get a hold of someone and you can't get through. But, come on now, we can all remember the time before cell phones, answering machines, voice mail, wi-fi, etc. So all I'm asking of people is to put all of this in perspective.
Yes, I can hear you loud and clear . . .
