I've been listening to the 2007 Bootie mashups mix recently and really enjoyed the Chemical Brothers/Imperial March mix. I had no idea that was your boyfriend.

Scroll down to the bottom and there are links to three full CDs' worth of excellent mashups, including those two. Awesome, awesome stuff.

I used to have a lot more, but I lost all my music in 2004 when I had a major hard drive malfunction (it was killed by a lighting strike) and I only got back into looking for mashups recently.

Oooh thanks!

I have about 15,000 songs on my external harddrive. A good hunk of them--maybe 70 percent--are "backed up" in the original CDs that I bought over the years, but if anything were to happen to my external harddrive, I'd be well fucked. I really need to get a good backup system.
