Howard Stern has once again found a mashup he claims to like – Wax Audio’s “Sad But Superstitious”, featuring Stevie Wonder & Metallica.
His enthusiasm doesn’t last long however, by the time the track gets to the chorus he’s already trashing it, adding that mashups are “a waste of time”.
The last time Howard played one of my mashups was in 2010, opening the show with “Whole Lotta Sabbath” – which went down a lot better.
Another new video from Mashopolos III – enjoy!
I’m back! Here’s one for those of you who like me, grew up in the 80′s.
Hey everyone,
As I posted on the Wax Audio Facebook page, I’ve had the good fortune to become a Dad for a second time. Our new baby daughter arrived just under 2 weeks ago, happy and healthy. Along with her big sister, the greatest mashup I’ve ever had a hand in producing (though the lion’s share of credit goes to her beautiful mother of course).
This means that things are set to quieten down here at Wax Audio HQ for the next few months. But rest assured, Wax Audio isn’t going anywhere. I’ve plenty of plans for 2013, so stay tuned!
In other news, I’ve received a ton of positive feedback about T-shirts, with some of you even ready to dress your whole family in them. Unfortunately I’ve not managed to get the production line rolling yet, one more thing to look forward to next year.
Enjoy your end of year holiday season in whichever spiritual/secular fashion you enjoy and see you all in 2013!
For Xari…
You never know when you put out a mashup album which of the artists you mash will wind up hearing, and perhaps liking, your interpretation of their work. I’d never have guessed that Herbie Hancock would end up digging ‘Master Of Doin’ It’ enough to promote it on his Facebook page and Twitter account.
There are big names in the music business and then there are living legends, the people who made it all happen in the first place. Herbie Hancock is undeniably in the second category.
Herbie… I am honored – thank you!
And consider your advice taken, I’m gonna keep on doin’ it!
Metallica and Herbie Hancock carve a steaming chunk of funkadelic metal cheese.
OBEY YOUR FUNK!

OK, so we all know that whilst producing Michael Jackson’s Thriller album in 1983, Quincy Jones called up Eddie Van Halen and had a conversation that led to him playing the awesome guitar solo on Beat It. But what if it was the other way round? Imagine that Eddie called up Michael (while David Lee Roth was AWOL in the Amazon).
“Hey Michael, I’ve got this song down, but I need a vocal… what are you doing right now?”
Van Halen and Michael Jackson pair up for Panama Beat, the latest video from Mashopolos III – Mashups For The People.
