If he stays there will be trouble, if he stays it will be double

A quick post; big one later.

Now that Tony Blair's made it official, we get the answer to the question "he" posed over a month ago...

rx - Should I Stay or Should I Go [originally by the Clash]
Using snippets of Tony Blair speeches, rx expertly crafted another political/mash-up/cover dance number. Not only is it technically impressive, but the choice of song is perfect. Similarly, you may remember from a couple years ago rx was responsible for George Bush's covers of Sunday Bloody Sunday and Imagine/Walk on the Wild Side. Even after the initial novelty of hearing these world leaders "sing", the covers themselves are quite listenable (unless that's just me). Sunday Bloody Sunday, in particular, is brilliant.

rx - White Lines [originally by Grandmaster Flash and Melle Mel]
This is another one by George Bush. I love this because of the whole "rang-dang-diggety-dang-de-dang" part.

Check out the website thepartyparty.com for music videos of these songs and with some diggin' there are more mp3s to be had.
