Girl Talk is a mash up artist who just released his newest album, Feed the Animals. Mash ups still hold a place somewhere between amusing curiosity and bonafide artistic expression, but this guy is definitely pushing the envelope. DJ Swindle is another favorite of mine.
On a lark I investigated just how many songs Girl Talk has sampled in his four albums and 2 EPs (some of his tracks use two dozen or more individual samples, and some of those are themselves samples of older songs). Anyway, here’s the list, it’s quite impressive:
