Shortly after completing my second mashup back in March 2008, I was at a shopping mall with a couple of colleagues for lunch, and a Rae Stickly tune was being played over the mall speakers. We chuckled about doing a mashup with this song. But then I actually sat down to try to produce one... trying a few different songs with it, but nothing really seemed to work well enough so I put it aside.
Eight months later, an opportunity presented itself that allowed me to resurrect that old project. Actually, I scrapped the original project file and started fresh... I decided to try a different approach to this one, and I think it worked out well... well enough to create a second mix. The first original version has a pop-folk flavor to it and became part of a compilation album for Audio Porn Central, while the second mix has more of a rock-folk flavor and is only available as part of this EP release.
As a special treat (from my usual offerings), the zip file download features 320 kbps MP3 files and a special instrumental bonus track.
