DJ Earworm – United State of Pop 2009
The infamous DJ Earworm has done it again! This famous mashup artist has taken the “Top 25 Billboard Hits of 2009″ and made one super-fucking-duper mashup of all of them! DJ Earworm attempted (and accomplished) this feat last year and has once again done what most mashup artists only wish they could.
If you love mashups as much as I do, then bask in the goodness of United State of Pop 2009 (Blame It on the Pop). With 25 songs clocking in a 4 minutes and 37 seconds, this mashup is another stunning example of how talented DJ Earworm is. I’ve included the track to listen to, the official mashup video, as well as the link to download the song. Here’s a nice farewell to 2009 and I’m looking forward to what DJ Earworm has in store for us in 2010!

Where’s The Music Gone?
Sometimes you don’t really need to say anything when a song can say it for you. Music by the lovely Leela James sums up my feelings about a lot of things going on in the music industry that I don’t like. Listen here and you can read the lyrics after the jump.

Rockstar Geeks Who Wave & Tweet
Last week I asked some of the people I follow on Twitter to humor me and play a game. In Google Wave, I invited all of them to participate in a little game that was part “get to know you”, part “get to know Wave”, and all fun.

Fab Female R&B/Neo Soul Artists
For this mixtape from 8tracks, I decided to go with 13 different female rhythm & blues/neo soul artists. The women featured Alicia Keys, Amy Winehouse, Corinne Bailey Rae, Erykah Badu, Kate Nash, Mary J. Blige, Groove Theory, Jill Scott, Joss Stone, Whitney Houston, Duffy, Lauryn Hill, & Rihanna.
Some of the tracks are fresh, some of them are oldies but goodies, but all of them are great. 
Enjoy!
