mp3 Rap vs. electronic mash-ups: Busta Rhymes vs. Fatboy Slim, Twista vs.

Mylo

Busta Rhymes vs. Fatboy Slim Busta Rhymes vs. Fatboy Slim - Put Your

Weapons (tobas remix)

This mash-up pairs the Busta classic "Put Your Hands Where My Eyes

Could See" with the otherwise perfunctory Fatboy Slim tune "Weapon of

Choice".

Twista vs. Mylo Twista vs. Mylo - Overnight Pressure (tobas remix)

"Overnight Celebrity" laid over "Drop the Pressure". This mix isn't

spectacular, but the songs actually do work pretty well together.

Have a song that you can't identify? Tunatic can identify songs by

get the artist's name and the song's title within seconds. I tried

* The Net Is a Boon for Indie Labels - New York Times

Even as the recording industry staggers through another year of

declining sales over all, there are new signs that a

democratization of music made possible by the Internet is shifting

the industry's balance of power.

Exploiting online message boards, music blogs and social networks,

independent music companies are making big advances at the expense

of the four global music conglomerates, whose established business

model of blockbuster hits promoted through radio airplay now looks

increasingly outdated.

CD and digital album sales so far this year are down 8 percent

compared with the same period a year ago, according to Nielsen

SoundScan data.
