Today we have yet another mashup, one of those simple compositions that takes two complementary songs (or portions thereof), puts them together, and steps away without too much trickery. The song combines Portishead‘s best known song, “Glory Box“, with the Beatles’ “I’m Only Sleeping“, a song so obscure that I hadn’t heard until 20 seconds ago, when I searched for it online so I could hear what it sounded like. Turns out it’s pretty good, but the mashup clearly samples the highlight moment (the first 10 seconds or so of the first verse). The mashup is cleverly called “Sleeping”, and from what I can tell it comes from a 2006 mashup album by CCC dedicated entirely to Revolver–the mashup album is called Revolved (that links to a surprisingly not-defunct website with unsurprisingly dead download links).
