What is a Video Mash Up?

no, it’s not quite like richard dreyfuss mashed potato sculpture in close encounters of a third kind. check out the below video for the song “salt and cherries” from former prince and the revolution bandmates wendy melvoin and lisa coleman. a “mash up” is a video collaged from various fan-submitted clips. talk about energizing your base about their latest work! nice touch to not only thank but also name each contributor at the end. classy. i’d expect nothing less from wendy and lisa. they brought a tremendous amount of perspective, talent, art and magic to prince’s music during the 1999, purple rain, around the world in a day, and under the cherry moon sessions. it was some of the strongest pop music of the 1980s and since.
