Have you heard of Bill McClintock?
He's been handcrafting mash-up songs for a decade and quickly started including mash-up music videos.
Yes, Dazz Band, and Dio - "Whip My Lonely, Dark Heart" - YouTube
This is a recent one I can't stop rewatching. He mentions Yes, Dazz Band, and Dio but there are a few other surprises.
He frequently mashes Soul with Metal.
James Against the Machine - "Take the Soul Power Back"
This one combines Rage Against the Machine with James Brown. When you think about the message of their music, it makes sense and this mash-up exemplifies that.
Sometimes, he's just goofing.
Boston Carter - "Strokin' (It's More Than a Feeling)"
Rick James Dio - "Holy Mary Jane"
But even those are still so well done.
Others combine into something almost transcendent in its absurdity because it still works, the narrative makes perfect sense.
Danzig and The Temptations - Mother Was a Rolling Stone
Hall and Oates and The Supremes - "My World is Empty Without You, Maneater"
He's the real deal in a time full of AI generated rip-offs.
This playlist has most if not all of his work: https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf3IDmEuX6wL8FZ1l6kTeZZoHPVNwQWai
It seems many AI companies can't find a way to generate enough profits with users, so they're going for government contracts now.
This is part of the lobbying behind Chat Control in the EU, and ICE's mass surveillance systems in the US. Someone is making lots of money out of this.
Technology is never neutral.
And this technology with its lobbyists is doing a lot of damage right now.
Only the people can stop this.
Make your voice heard.

I have to say, this whole AI-generative nonsense has completely spoiled my perception of scifi shows and movies when they ask "Hey Computer" anything.
Now I know this "Computer" is just spewing unreliable smart-sounding rubbish 🤨
If you are enabling an AI feature scanning all your emails, consider this will also scan the emails people have sent you. This information could include personal or otherwise legally protected information.
If this data leaks later (as it regularly happens with these systems), this could mean severe legal consequences for you down the road.
YOU are responsible for protecting the data of others under your custody.
This includes the messages and emails others send to you.
Some days, I wake up and I'm just mad at AI.
Thankfully, I have a shirt for this now.
It helps.
