Mashup culture may have found its Beethoven. 



This is my favorite of seven tracks, mixed by a DJ named Kutiman.  His goal?  To scour YouTube for totally unrelated clips and mix them to create original music.  He called it the ThruYou project.... 

If you're not blown away from just listening to to the song (the title for which is "I m new"), visit ThruYou.com, start up a song, then check out the credits and jump out to the individual component videos that comprised each song. In a far off land, an exorbitantly paid record executive's soul just died a little.

“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.”

Absolutely amazing.
