Mash the classics and win a $500 cash prize. It's fun too.

Nothing Binding’s very first writing contest! 100% free, 102% innovative.

 

Some music critics believe an extremely high form of musical prowess can be found in the new breed of geniuses who can skillfully blend two starkly different songs and blend them together into one. An example is “The Beachles” - an amazing combination of The Beach Boy’s Petsounds album and The Beatles Sgt. Pepper album. Of course, these mash-ups are quick targets of law suits. Most fans view mash-ups as the ultimate homage to both subjects of the mashing, and no one can deny the technical challenge a masher undertakes.
