I think that mashups/ remixes/ compulations are a kind of conversation between different artists and genres.

They can bring a whole new perspective to the original songs

"What you know about little secrets,

running with the xx,

the kids don't stand a chance

Suddenly everything has changed- office musik mashup.

--Mr. Brightside

"In literary practices the idea of a single subject is also all-powerful. It is uncommon for books to be signed. The concept of plagiarism

does not exist: it has been established that all works are the creation of one author, who is atemporal and anonymous. The critics often

invent authors: they select two dissimilar works - the Tao Te Ching and the 1001 Nights, say - attribute them to the same writer and then

determine most scrupulously the psychology of this interesting homme de lettres..." -Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius
