"Sounds for the Swing-Set" FREE Album!

Not strictly tiki, but still of interest to this here board, methinks:

"RIAA's 16-song mashup collection: "Sounds For The Swing Set" takes you on a hallucinogenic trip thru vintage Vegas, timewarping into the Now. The Rat Pack, Bobby Darin, Tom Jones, Ella Fitzgerald, Tony Bennett, and the zombie-fied body of Elvis get it on with Lady Gaga, Led Zeppelin, Public Enemy, Cornershop, Fatboy Slim, and a thrift-store's worth of Space Age-Exotica obscurities. Throw in countless bits from tv, movies, and spoken-word records and you've got the soundtrack to the wildest weekend you’ll ever have."

Thanks for the heads-up!

RIAA's mash-ups are always interesting - this looks like a good set!

Another great user name!!

A connection to the disney monorail, correct??

Absolutely correct, Lucas!

Miss those old Alwegs, but the new trains from Burke Composite Design are pretty nice!

woosh Right over my head! Quite the impressive command of pop archeology here.

Oh, it's just about the different generations of monorails at Disneyland. But yeah, right over everyone's head, literally! Woosh!

The original Alweg system looked like this:

And the newest ones that have recently been implemented in the park look like this:

Anyway, back to the original thread, I finally listened to the whole RIAA album and it certainly seems like a lot of work goes into doing these mash-ups. Only thing is, it just kind of makes you want to listen to all the original tracks that were sampled. Fun listening, though. Thanks again for the tip!
