Party Ben Hates My Space, But Loves Posting New Mashups

A My Space page for mashup master Part Ben was recently setup, but not by him. "I hate myspace and all manner of friend-collecting websites," Ben writes on his website, "and especially friend-collecting websites that automatically start playing music when you open them, plus this page is really ugly and says I'm from Brooklyn. Nothing against Brooklyn. So. If you go there and try to add me as a friend or post me a 'big ups' or something, please do not write me later going 'why didn't you add me as your friend bro.' It's because I didn't see it because I didn't even know the page existed. I'm happy to be your friend if you just e-mail me like a regular person."

All that aside, Ben recently posted tons of new music on his website in preparation for his Coachella trip, as well as continuous mix of Coachella bands. Among the new mashups is "Golden Boulevard" (Yeah Yeah Yeahs vs. Green Day vs. Oasis vs. Love & Rockets vs. Samantha Fox), which Ben says wasn't too big a hit in the clubs. "In fact it kind of cleared the dance floor," he writes, "but it was on the radio and stuff .... Yes I am a total hack but I just do not care."

I heart mashups too. In fact I'm a bit obsessed.
