Mash Up

Our mash ups are finished. The one that I liked the most was Karins. It had very good songs in it and had good transitions. The songs he picked were awesome, he really did a great job. Also, my song was also pretty good. I worked on it the whole weekend, and it was worth it.

DJ Danger Mouse

Brian Joseph Burton aka DJ Danger Mouse was born July 28, 1977 in White Plains, New York. Is a musician, producer, songwriter and a Grammy Award winner. He is a well know mash up artist that has created a lot of music throughout the years. A mash up is a combination of two or more songs or artists to form a new original song. Danger Mouse created a album called The Grey Album, which was a combination of The Beatle´s White Album and Jay-Z´s Black Album. There were some problems fro this album because it broke copyright laws, but I think this should not have happened. This is because he made his own original music with the songs. In the end, everything was all right.

In the world there are many other mash up artists. Such as DJ Earworm, The hood Internet, Girl Talk and many others.Im not really into mash-up music. So i dont know much about other artists. This is all I got.

Environmental Problems

In this world we face many problems, some may be big others are much smaller. But in my opinion one of the biggest ones is rainforest destruction. Yes I know that we get many of our things from the rainforest, but they are a big part of this world. The trees provide living things the oxygen they need. We need oxygen in order to live, animals and plants also need this oxygen. We are depleting these forests and also depleting the oxygen we breathe.




Rainforest´s are also home to many species of animals and plants. We are destroying their home and they are dying because of it. This is bad because in most rainforest´s we have only discovered 10% of the animal and plant species. This is a shame because these species are dying without us even knowing. We are killing living things and we don´t even know it.

This also leads to another problem in this world. Vanishing species is also a very big problem in the world. Its both animal and plant species, but mostly animals. Hunting is one of the big reasons why this is happening. People hunt down animals to their limit. Even if they are protected species, hunters do it for the thrill and joy of it. It is horrible, nobody else but certain organizations care about these things. They should enforce laws because these animals are part of daily life even if you cant notice it.


In some cases the animals being depleted are ones we eat or need for daily life. Plants too are depleting and we need them to provide oxygen. These are just some reasons why it is such a big thing. All living things in this planet do not stand a chance without each other. Its one big circle and we need to take care of it.
