Time for another of my infrequent visits to Bootie Blog. They seem to post only about once a month, top-10 lists. So there's a lot to review and some of it is quite good and new to me. Herewith five:

A+D put together a six-way all-girl mashup that's a lot of fun, built mostly around rapper Kreayshawn's "Gucci Gucci" and the Ting Tings. Paradoxically, by not featuring any particularly strong vocalist it works pretty well as an ensemble mash.

3LAU's "All Night Long" by contrast, builds around the strong and smooth vocals of Ellie Goulding. I'm not familiar with most of the other tracks that are mixed in here, and it's a valiant effort to give someone with a good vocal-trance sound more of a house club thumpy feel. I think the start of the mix works better than the end, but overall not a bad effort.

Marc Johnce proves he can play the mega-dance-mash mix game, too. DJ Lobsterdust is kind of the defining sound here and I don't think Johnce has tried this before. Here he's got at least 6-7 major sounds going, and all heading for a high-energy pop-dance finish. I can even put up with the Katy Perry in here, though I continue to feel that mixing Perry with something only makes something slightly worse. But I digress. Johnce's mash is good, and it's fun picking out the bits you know and then going back to see which bits you missed.

Dylan Vasey (http://www.mashstix.com/Dylan.php) is a new name to me and this is a pretty simple mash of Usher's "OMG" which is a pretty lame spin on its own with Example's "Changed the Way You Kissed Me." Example's tune is a pretty hot club banger on its own with a fast-rap backbone and the mash relies heavily on that. Almost everything lame from the Usher tune is stripped out and he becomes a guest vocalist on the Example track, which would be an awesome idea in reality, too.

Mashmike out does both Lobsterdust and Johnce in the mega-mash department. Seven contributors (plus samples) including current pop stars backed by classics like C&C and Salt-n-Pepa. This is one of those tracks you drop at the start of a set to get people up and moving

Four more selections from the Bootie lists, including the promised best-of-year smooth mix, and a vid/remix that blew me away.
