DJ Earworm

This guy is amazeballs.
I don't know, and frankly don't care, how everyone else feels about mash-ups, but DJ Earworm is the absolute best at them. Each year, he mashes up, as in mixes together, in a way of sorts, the top songs of every year. You've probably heard at least one, because all the radio stations play them New Years Day without announcing his name or the name of the song, letting him and his amazing work drift away into nothingness.
And that is not cool.
If it weren't impressive enough that he puts 10+ songs together seamlessly, lyrics and all, there are also videos that transition from one another without a hitch. I don't know if he creates these, too, but all the same they are amazing.
My personal favorite is 2009's Blame it on the Pop, found on his annually updated web-album United State of Pop.
The mashup includes 25 songs.
Seriously, I recommend you go listen to it, and all of his other stuff. To put Kanye, Miley, Taylor and Soulja Boy in a song together and still make it sound good is a mad talent. I'm looking forward to big things from DJ Earworm. 
Here's a link to his website.
(Also, random trivia, he went to U of I and is from Evanston! He's homegrown, you guys. Super cool.)
