It's been a long time since I've made a mashup just for me, just for the joy of it. Not for Bootie Mashup ... possibly not for anyone. Unless you're a fan of deep album cuts from Throwing Muses and Green Day. Then maybe.
I apparently tried to make this mashup back in 2005, when I noticed that Green Day's "American Idiot" album closer, "Whatsername," sounded suspiciously like "Graffiti," a track from my favorite album by Boston indie band Throwing Muses, who released "The Real Ramona" in 1991. Unfortunately however, the isolated studio acapella track and the software tools for audio extraction didn't exist back then. What a difference 15 years makes.
I was even able to add female harmony vocals to Billie Joe Armstrong's lead vocal by extracting the vocals from the Broadway cast version of "Green Day's American Idiot."
