This week’s internet reviews

Popped Culture

The term mash-up has become a part of the mainstream vernacular, but most of us still think of it in terms of musical collisions. The reality is that it's everywhere. This fabulous blog concerns itself with the fusion of art and pop culture in all its supersweet flavours. Here you'll find a clip of Weekend At Bernies as if filmed by Tim Burton; Mario Brothers calling cards if they'd been real-world plumbers; a beautiful painting of a Care Bear re-imagined as a grouchy urban warrior; and Star Wars propaganda posters. What links all the entries is imagination, fun and – particularly in the spoof McDonald's ads – healthy disrespect for our brand-obsessed world.

Dollar Van Demos

You may be familiar with The Black Cab Sessions, in which rising stars and established artists perform their songs in the back seat of a London taxi. Well, this is the hip-hop American equivalent. The big difference is that the artists are performing in the back of a Dollar Van – a budget mini bus taxi service that travels across New York – with passengers getting on and off throughout their allotted three minutes of video fame. Performing in such trying circumstances takes guts, but some of the tracks are brilliant. Joya Bravo's rap over the top of the Ting Tings' That's Not My Name is incredible, as is Wordspit's Hello Good Morning, which has the whole bus bobbing in their seats.
