United State of Pop 2009 - "Blame It On The Pop" - DJ Earworm

You can see the video DJ Earworm created to accompany his amazing mashup here:

Having received over 16 million views so far, his new year-end mashup topped the online music video charts for much of the beginning of this year. You can read more in this great article from CNN here:

If you enjoyed the lyrics I posted to his Annie Lennox Mashup earlier, you'll love the color-coded lyrics that Earworm posted on his website, showing not only the remarkably rate at which he switches from song to song, from singer to singer, but also the amazing coherence his final lyric has. You can find these lyrics here:

For fun, here's a lyric cloud I made for this song.  Actually, it's one of several, but DJ Earworm liked this the best:

My Latest Visual Arts Mashup - News of 9/11

A Memorial to the Victims of 9/11

A pivotal moment in our history and a defining event in our collective conscious, the attack on "ground zero" - the twin towers of the world trade center in new york city, affected all of us deeply, disturbed some of us profoundly, and changed our way of life forever.

I could not take my eyes off the news - the papers, the TV broadcasts, and the nascent Internet news media. As I remember, that was when Google started its news section, including something new on its front page for the first time! During that period, I collected the outstanding work of the photojournalists featured on the front pages of every major newspaper in the United States.

I have created this visual arts mashup of the work of those professionals as a tribute to their photojounalism, as a memorial to that tragedy's innocent victims, and as a continuing reminder that we must all work together if we are ever to find peace.

We must never forget.

Also overthere

9 / 11 even elsewhere
thoughts in our head
3rd Worldwar
chaos, fear, confusion
thoughts:
back home now
work not important
our children, our love
nothing mathers more
together, each holding
the ones who you love
after 9 / 11
hope, hope for
a beautiful world
a world of peace
expect too much?"
