Tom, thanks for the link! Now I want to find most of those mash ups!
it's simple: a remix takes one existing song by one artist/band, and reworks that song to sound slightly different; a mash-up takes two different songs by two different artists/bands, and combines them into a completely new song. That's how I explain the difference.
I went with something like that, although you put it more succiently, but it didn't convience her. Monday I'm taking in some mash ups I have so she can hear the difference.
so, I am listening to my first full Guster album. what do people think of them? I'm liking it.

so, I am listening to my first full Guster album. what do people think of them?
I heard them for the first time just yesterday. I have to say I wasn't paying any great amount of attention but I can remember thinking "This song is very Elliot Smith-y. This song is very Simon and Garfunkel-y. This song is very ..."
