I'm going to the Osheaga Music Festival in Montreal today and I'm really excited to see mashup artist Girl Talk, AKA Gregg Gillis. I learned about Girl Talk from the NFB production, R.I.P Remix Manifesto, a documentary on copyright and the digital mashup revolution.
In a tribute to Girl Talk and mashup artists everywhere, here's a list of some of the great musical / video mashups that have caught my attention. Enjoy!
