Let's Mix It Up!

Some people believe that the digital age has released an entirely new world of “mash up” possibilities; the mixing and blending of different genres to create new art and literature. For example, the musical group “Gangstagrass” has experimented successfully with mixing traditional bluegrass music with hip-hop rap, and the popularity of books like Pride and Prejudice and Zombies shows us the possibilities of blending classic literature with pop culture themes. But these mash-ups are nothing new. I particularly like this science fiction/western comic book that represents a mash-up from the 1940s, which of course True Archives has mashed-up again to assist in our never ending battle against the evils of Information Science.
