The Recommendation Challenge

The Recommendation Challenge

Author: Shitty Mashups August 27, 2021 Duration: 44:38

The only thing that feels as good as listening to music, is sharing music with your loved ones. When's the last time you got super stoked on some new music you found and knew you HAD to share it with your friends. That's basically the reason we created this show. That and to pass the time of living in the center of the earth.

Features clips from:

The Beach Boys - God Only Knows

Zebra Katz - Ima Read

Opeth - Ghost of Perdition

Glass Animals - Life Itself


Deep beneath our feet, in a geothermal lab where the rock is hot and the standards are low, three eternally confined scientists conduct their audacious auditory experiments. This is Shitty Mashups. Each episode is a gleeful report from their subterranean studio, where the mission is simple: to fuse songs that were never meant to meet, crafting what might generously be called the worst music ever conceived. The results are unpredictable, often hilarious, and strangely compelling. You'll hear legendary pop anthems violently welded to forgotten elevator jingles, aggressive metal riffs underpinning smooth jazz solos, and nursery rhymes subjected to unthinkable electronic beats. The hosts, operating as the podcast's cursed creators, provide a running commentary of scientific despair and manic pride as their creations unfold. It's a celebration of glorious failure and a bizarre love letter to music itself, asking the important question: how wrong can a song feel before it becomes a new kind of right? Tune in for a uniquely chaotic and comedic listen that defies all conventional taste.
