# *shun*
It would probably just contain something that insults me anyway.
I am over 40 and female and do music mangles, don't use the word 'mash-up' cos it's naff. I am a DJ (a club one not a wedding one) and don't buy fucking greatest hits albums /endrant

that was a dig at someone from the Creative Commons who was on a panel at some talk I went to.

'mash-up' is such a crap term. It's bootlegs all the way.

# It is!
I can't bring myself to use "bootleg" either cos to me that is something that is recorded on the sneak (like a live concert, recorded ninja-fashion and flogged).

To be honest, I detest 95% of music mangles. People usually take two crap songs, mangle them and all of a sudden they are supposed to be fantastic? Bollocks! 1 crap song X 1 crap song = 2 crap songs! Double the crapness!
*puts away soapbox*
I still make them though because for some reason the punters love it.
