In light of the Grammys last weekend, here's some unrecognised talent

There's a person who goes by the name of DJ Earworm, who has taken the top selling 25 songs of 2009 (as declared by Billboard) and made a rather fantastic mashup of them.

Here's the artist's website

And here's a youtube link to the accompanying video

It's brilliantly done, and frankly, better than a lot of the songs involved in the mashup. DJ Earworm even manages to infuse the theme of hope and picking yourself up after you fall (which he claims was a theme he found in the songs, so he doesn't take credit for it).

I don't know if DJ Earworm will ever win a Grammy or be a household name (he has had some success with these mashup series, which he has done since 2007). What I do know is that the level of sheer effort that goes into making something like this, and the sheer talent that goes into making something like this so immensely entertaining, is astronomical. He deserves recognition for that from sources far more accredited than me, but until then, I'll do my part.
