In late 2004, Party Ben created “Boulevard of Broken Songs”, featuring elements of Green Day’s “Boulevard of Broken Dreams,” Oasis’ “Wonderwall,” Travis’ “Writing to Reach You” and Eminem’s “Sing for the Moment.” (A later version replaced the Eminem with the original source of the audio clip, Aerosmith’s “Dream On.”) The track received worldwide attention, including that of Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong, who mentioned in an interview that he thought it was “cool.” “Boulevard of Broken Songs” was the impetus for Party Ben to work with Team9 on the American Edit album under the alias Dean Gray, where the two mashed up the songs from Green Day’s American Idiot album, much like DJ Danger Mouse’s The Grey Album.
More recently, his pairing of Snow Patrol and The Police, “Every Car You Chase,” received a great deal of attention in Ireland, the home of Snow Patrol.

I wonder how many real plays Party Ben has. I have listened to a lot of his creations, but I label it with the mashed up artists, not Party Ben...
