George Harrison vs. Queen

I heard an instrumental piano version of George Harrison's "All Those Years Ago" a couple of weeks ago and though it sounded exactly like the opening to Queen's "Killer Queen". There's almost nothing on the internet about similarities or plagiarism for this track. Any one else here the similarity?

We Will Robot Rock You

Cruising around Youtube yesterday, I found this pretty decent mashup from the DJ Hero game:



Mashups are a real hit and miss for me, and especially with DJ Hero. Half of the remixes are pretty inspired, the other half confusing and banal. I was listening to Queen with a good friend on the weekend and got inspired to find some of their more interesting songs. I'm not much of a Queen fan, especially of their straight up arena-rock songs, but their pop and electronic tinged work is quite good.

Check this awesome video out for "I Want to Break Free":
