THANK YOU!

I imagine Mefi's own Seth Cohen being very pleased at this post.

because in your heart you know it's true. Captain Oats knows.

I usually don't like to comment before I click, but this feels like a special occasion.

As somebody who has gone to the mat for both of these artists, often against my better judgment, why am I terrified to click on this? Is it because I think I won't like it? Is it because I think I will? Is it because I think the fact that both artists are often "too much" in there own unique ways such that combining them will make me explode into a ball of red hot too-muchitude?

I think I'd love it if it was Death Cab singing to Kanye's awesome beats, and not Kanye's shitty rapping to Death Cab's great music.

This is AMAZING. Welp, I know what my soundtrack for today's going to be.

Sooooo, anyone manage to download it before the Copyright goblins got it taken down?

It's gone, anyone got another source?

How does it compare to Jaydiohead, which is the standard to which I'm currently holding all rock & hip-hop mashups?

"I'd like this more if it was more like what I like" is not setting a particularly high bar for music criticism, though.

I think I’d love it if it was Death Cab singing to Kanye’s awesome beats, and not Kanye’s shitty rapping to Death Cab’s great music.

Guess not :(

numaner, 99 Anthems has to be one of the best mashups of all time.

Thanks, thack3r. I'm a fan of both and am digging this!

Holy crap, that Jesus Walks/I Will Follow You Into The Dark combo is AMAZING.

Thanks for the post and the "archived" link. Shame it's such low quality.

Throwing out another favorite mashup of this sort: The Joe Beats Experiment presents Indie Rock Blues (YT playlist).
