yeah---the basic idea of a mashup is as new as be-bop. it was stock in trade to use the progressions from pop songs and replace the melody lines.
i like mash-ups when they do beyond novelty. the grey album is a good example. but i like slightly older stuff more--like john oswald or the tape beatles. more radical in terms of chopping stuff up, not so interested in the rare sides aspect of the game.
