The Reborn Identity - Green Day vs Boards of Canada - Broken Dreamcoats (mashup)

[dreadeye]

congrats, you made me like a green day song somehow

[Daghead]

I can enjoy this because I can't recall what the GD instrumental sounded like.

This is only my second bad comment to leave on YouTube. Why mix anything with BoC? Just leave it the hell alone. The 1st comment was on someone else's BoC "mash up".

[shadalator]

You actually made me like that Green Day song a little. =) Boards makes everything better

[xelacrypt]

this is awful :(

[gavdget]

@xelacrypt Sorry! Are you an appalled Green Day or Boards of Canada fan?

[xelacrypt]

@gavdget BoC. I dont think that mixing it with aguilera, or green day adds something. Green day is more of wannaberebellous teenagers thing, BoC is more of acid using creative industry workers thing. nothing in common

[gavdget]

@xelacrypt Ok. I don't generally look for common ground when creating mashups, it's in the differences where I find the most interest. Aguilera would have been a step too far though, even for me

[ajaxrobinson]

@gavdget This is great! I don't think Xelacrypt quite understands what a mashup is, plus there is no reason to leave such a rude comment. Please do an Aguilera/BoC mashup and title is 'Xelacrypt Blues' just to spite him.

wow its actually way better than i expected lmao....?

[setht246]

nice job

[gavdget]

@setht246 Thanks. Hope you liked the video element alongside the music.

[SpooferJahk]

I am not a major fan of Green Day, but I am a fan of Boards of Canada and I gotta say this is a pretty good mashup, it fits pretty well. Great job gavdget.

smart

correction: "Still Life" from Against Perfection, Creation Records, 1993

[Cjbcampbell]

People who say 'too mainstream' never explain-convince why the not-mainstream is better. I never thought it was pose-able(?) to make green day sound not god awful. The romantic core is stripped of the dross-noise they use to make people "take them seriously" like they're not just poseurs. Images, "Up on the Ceiling....": (Cf. Adorable, "Still Born Brother", from Against Perfection)

[maloneymallory]

I like how the beat startsjust as Billie kicks the car's tire! Genius!

[GDscissorhandedgurl]

Hahaha, that is cool!

[lillocoroco]

im personally not a green day fan, but this sounds awesome!

[thobrik]

good effort, can see you put a lot of work into it!

[mascbp10]

I like.

[kmilobjork]

I don't know what to say, Green Day are too mainstream and Chromackey Dreamcoat sounds better by its own. But still interesting.

[gavdget]

Thanks. Chromakey Dreamcoat is an excellent track, so I hope this maybe introduces a few more people to it and to BoC.

[pussywran]

god damn! i never thought it was posable to make boards of cananda sound fucking god awful

[gavdget]

Not a fan then? Can't please them all
