The best mash-up artist I've ever heard! Girl Talk (Greg Gillis) mixes bits from pop, rock, soul and rap songs in ways that one might think would be dreadful, but are actually pretty damn listenable. We might argue about weather or not it's really art or musicianship, but I would certainly not have thought to put those songs together that way. He definitely has something unique going on.
So here are three of my favourite tracks. I've copypasted the incomplete list of sampled material from Wikipedia into the spoilers.
Warning: Some of the lyrics are NSFW gangster rap. If you can hear it at all, you can hear the cuss words.
Another Warning: if you absolutely hate rap, check the sampled tracks to make sure none of your favourite songs get hip hop earworms attached to them.

What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

The Net is best considered analogous to communication with disincarnate intelligences. As any neophyte would tell you. Do not invoke that which you have no facility to banish.
