As mashups go, no one arranges songs quite like these two.
Sam Tsui and Kurt Schneider who post videos under the Youtube name KurtHugoSchneider have to be some of the most famous youtube users. Their clever combinations of seemingly oppsing melodies makes their music an always interesting and enjoyable event.
This is their latest mashup featuring 'Firework' by Katy Perry, 'Grenade' by Bruno Mars and 'Dynamite' by Taio Cruz.

MM: Miracles
Norwegian Recycling - Miracles by peterbull
For the first post on MASHUP MONDAY , this is Norwegian Recycling’s ‘Miracles’. A mix of mainly contemporary mainstream pop and R&B, with one or two classic tunes added in. It makes for an original and very creative alternative at a party or just a nice addition for your iTunes.
‘Norwegian Recycling’ is the ’stage name’ for Peter Bull who arranges these mashups. As well as usual popular music in his creation, he recently made a mix of Harry Potter clips and soundtrack music which can be found on his website.

WW: Always Attract
This week, I offer one of my all-time favourite tracks:
'Always Attract' is a track by You Me At Six from their debut album 'Take Off Your Colours' (released in 2008).
Previously on this blog I have sited You Me At Six as one of my three must-have bands and this is definitely a song which also deserves a mention.
What I love about it is the guitar melodies and the strong harmonies with their guest female singer who happens to be none other than Elissa Franceschi, sister to lead singer, Josh Franceschi.
If you're a fan of songs which build up the suspense right until the end, this is definitely one worth a listen.
Seriously one of the most underrated songs on this album.
Have a listen:

WW: Joe Brooks
Joe Brooks is a singer/songwriter from Southampton, UK.
He is an artist who gathered his initial following from Myspace after being inspired to learn the guitar at age 16. His page receives some of the highest amounts of hits on Myspace, with his single 'Superman' outplaying bands such as Oasis.
Now 23, Joe Brooks has just released his debut album 'Constellation Me' this September.
I found it hard to categorise him as I would say if you like acoustic, you'll definitely like him and if you like indie, you probably like him as he would be in the more indie-alternative-acoustic category (if that's even a category).
His music speaks for itself though. It's easy going, lighthearted music that reminds me of the summer, perfect for lazy days, his voice neither too weak or too overwhelming.
Personal favourites would include 'Superman','Hello Mr. Sun' and 'Five Days of Summer'.
Having spent the past year or so on tour in the US and completing his album in L.A., he is back in the UK for his home tour this winter. So if you like the sound of him, it might be worth grabbing yourself a ticket...I know I'll be trying.
